If it's Vegas and the line is "even" you have to take Manning simply because the Saints can actually run the ball (1st in Rush DVOA) while the Colts don't even really try anymore (22nd), so Pierre Thomas et al. may snipe TDs.
Hilariously, the way to attack NO is through running though . . . it'll be an interesting game. The line at IND(-6) seems . . . poor, though. We'll just go with "poor" and leave it there.

I agree with this, and not to bring my Vikings into this thread because they lost, so it's irrelevant, but I was really hoping for a Favre/Manning Super Bowl, not because I'm biased to the Vikings but because I'm thinking it would probably be a better game and a better thread. But that's neither here or there, so it's Manning for sure.
eta: if it was Favre? Then, I don't know.
