The Indianapolis Colts (0-2) and Green Bay Packers (1-1) both have something in common heading into their preseason meeting on Thursday. Each team is led by a Pro Bowl quarterback and has struggled after he has left the game with the reserves failing to perform. The Packers seem to have a bigger edge playing at [...]
The Indianapolis Colts (0-1) and Buffalo Bills (0-1) meet for the first time since the 2009 regular-season finale, and if you watched that game then you will understand why the home team is favored yet again in this preseason matchup. The Bills were -9 on the NFL point spread in the last meeting and dominated [...]
The poor preseason record of the Indianapolis Colts over the last decade has made oddsmakers take notice and downgrade them significantly from how they would perform in the same situation during the regular season. That is the easy explanation for why the Colts are home underdogs at +3 on the NFL betting odds against the [...]

What follows is my opinion only, and not necessarily the opinion of everyone else here at Maddux Sports: The Saints are going to win the Super Bowl. I have many good reasons why I have come to this conclusion, but here are seven:
As the biggest of games inches closer here are some of the storylines and angles that are factoring into my thinking about a potential outcome: 1. The road to this game. I was pretty high on the Cardinals coming into their game against the Saints. New Orleans demolished them. Minnesota was a tough, dangerous team [...]
