Bruno Boys Fantasy Football

Super Bowl Sunday is a day filled with excitement for football fans all over the world. It is a day that we spend with family and friends watching the two remaining playoff teams trying to reach the pinnacle of their sport. It doesn’t happen every year, but this year we get to watch the two best teams in the NFL when the Peyton Manning led Indianapolis Colts face Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.

These two teams dominated the 2009 NFL season. The Colts started the season 14-0, and there is a good chance they would have gone undefeated this season had head coach Jim Caldwell not decided that it was more important to rest his stars in order to get ready for the playoffs rather than trying to top the Miami Dolphins’ 17-0 season of 1972. The Saints also had a very good start to the year, as they won their first 13 games of the season before stumbling against the Dallas Cowboys’ in Week 15. These teams were the No. 1 seeds in the AFC and NFC playoffs respectively. They both have explosive offenses and it should make for a very entertaining Super Bowl.

With the countdown to the Super Bowl continually winding down, the water cooler talk has picked up. From the die hard fans to the casual observers, everyone seems to have an opinion as to what’s going to happen come Super Bowl Sunday. Granted, some insight is a bit deeper than others. For the record, I do not think that the New Orleans Saints will come out on top because of a potential proposal from Reggie Bush to on-again, off-again girlfriend, Kim Kardaschian should they secure the win. But, hey it’s the Super Bowl and anything can happen. With that said, the Bruno Boys Staff shares with you our Super Bowl previews. And, we ask that you, Bruno Boys Nation, vote in our poll and share your predictions as well in the comment section below. Come the final whistle on Sunday, we’ll then see who was on the mark and who was way off.

Bruno Boy Whooley’s Super Bowl Prediction - Saints (27) – Colts (35)

The 62 total points may seem like a lot, but with the over / under currently sitting at 56.5, is it really that preposterous? Let’s not fool ourselves, these two teams are playing for the Lombardi Trophy not because of the smash mouth football they play, but because of the way they light up the scoreboard. In fact, in this post-season, both squads are averaging 25+ points per game, with the Colts posting 25 a contest and the Saints, a whopping 38.

With that said, I think it’s Peyton Manning and Co. that come out on top in this one. The Saints squeaked by in the NFC Championship Game despite giving up 475 total yards of offense to the Minnesota Vikings. The reason? The Vikings coughed the ball up a staggering five times. While it’s very likely the Colts near the Vikings’ 475 total yards, don’t expect them to bail out New Orleans with anything close to five turnovers. As such, Peyton will prove once again that he can win the big one.

Indianapolis Colts @ Buffalo Bills: Both of these teams are just playing out the string, as we’ve seen with the Bills all season and with the Colts last week. In relief of Peyton Manning, Curtis Painter faced the No. 1 pass defense in the NFL last week, and this week he gets to face the No. 3 pass defense. Fantasy Prediction: Despite his playing time being limited, Reggie Wayne still gets 50 receiving yards, but nothing more.

Buffalo Bills @ Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons don’t have a realistic chance at the playoffs, something that could have been said in Buffalo weeks ago. But, the Bills do bring the No. 3 overall pass defense to the forefront. Fantasy Prediction: Matt Ryan throws for fewer than 200 yards for the seventh time in 13 games.

Dallas Cowboys @ New Orleans Saints: The Saints look to remain undefeated with a Saturday night tilt against the Cowboys and their December allergies. This has the makings of a highly entertaining game with Drew Brees and Tony Romo in a shootout. Fantasy Prediction: Three players get at least 100 receiving yards – Marques Colston, Miles Austin and Jason Witten.

New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta Falcons: The Saints should have lost their first game of the season last week, but the Washington Redskins blew it, and lost their No. 1 ranking in pass defense as well, as Drew Brees piled up more than 400 passing yards in New Orleans’ overtime victory. Atlanta doesn’t have much hope of stopping him, either, as they are 29th in the league in pass defense. Fantasy Prediction: Brees throws four touchdowns against the mess that is Atlanta’s pass defense.

The defending Super Bowl Champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers, are on the ropes, sitting at 6-6 following a disappointing loss to the Oakland Raiders at home in week 13. To keep their hopes of repeating alive, the Steelers now face a must win situation in week 14 as they head to Cleveland to take on a Browns’ team that has shown some life of late, thanks to the solid play of Brady Quinn under center.

Fantasy owners, themselves, are facing must win situations as they look to go deeper into their leagues’ playoffs. Thus, few really care whether the Steelers get the win. What really matters is who will provide a solid performance in this match-up for fantasy owners, keeping those owners’ dreams of a fantasy championship going. To prepare you all for Thursday’s action, the Bruno Boys bring to you the Week 14 Thursday Night Preview.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Atlanta Falcons: Matt Ryan is out, which means the team has to turn to Chris Redman, who was actually pretty good last week in relief of Ryan. But the Falcons have a bad defense, and Redman won’t be able to lead them to a shootout win. Fantasy Prediction: Redman throws for just over 200 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons: Buccaneers’ head coach Raheem Morris is now taking over play-calling duties on defense, this after firing his offensive coordinator in the preseason. So now, two entirely different people are calling the plays on offense and defense than had been anticipated in July. Whatever plays he calls, he’ll have to figure out a formula to stop Falcons’ wide out Roddy White. Good luck with that. Fantasy Prediction: White has over 100 receiving yards with one score.

Washington Redskins @ Dallas Cowboys: Tony Romo has cooled since his three-game splurge in Weeks 5,7, and 9 that saw him throw eight touchdowns with no interceptions and a pair of 300-yard passing games. In his last two contests, he’s thrown a total of two touchdowns and two interceptions, and this week, the Redskins present a new challenge, as they have the top-ranked pass defense in the NFL. Fantasy Prediction: Romo doesn’t get 250 passing yards, but throws two touchdowns.
