FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. — Would someone please tell me why the Indianapolis Colts are favored in Super Bowl XLIV?

And not just favored, but favored by a decisive 5 ½ points, according to the Vegas sharpies.

Am I missing something here?

Am I too close to this story?

I think the New Orleans Saints should be favored in this game. At worst, it’s a pick ’em.

I respect the Colts enormously. I think Peyton Manning is best player in the NFL. Heck, he might be the best player in NFL history.

But I can’t find any reason, other than experience, as to why the Colts should be a decided favorite Sunday.

Read the rest of the story here.
