Analysis
rew Brees was the MVP of the Saints' Super Bowl win over Indianapolis after completing 32-of-39 passes for 288 yards, two touchdowns and a 114.5 rating. He has passed for 350-plus yards in four consecutive games, the longest such streak in league history, and has 20-plus completions in an NFL-record 26 games in a row. Running back/return man Darren Sproles is the only player in the NFL with a rushing, receiving and return touchdown this season. Including the playoffs, he has five career touchdowns against Indianapolis (two rushing, one receiving, one punt return, one kick return). Running back Mark Ingram leads NFC rookies with 238 rushing yards this season, while backfield mate Pierre Thomas had a receiving touchdown in Super Bowl XLIV. New Orleans' Jimmy Graham is the second tight end in NFL history with 100-plus receiving yards in four consecutive games in the same season, joining Tony Gonzalez in 2000. He also leads all tight ends with 39 catches and 620 yards this year. Wide receiver Marques Colston had seven receptions for 83 yards in the Super Bowl win over Indianapolis New Orleans is ranked sixth or better in scoring (29.5 ppg, sixth), total offense (452.2 ypg, second) and passing yards (344.3 ypg, second) and ranks 18th in rushing yards (107.8 ypg). On defense, the Colts are 29th in points allowed (27.2 ppg), 27th in total yards allowed (392.5 ypg), 18th in pass defense (255.8 ypg) and 30th versus the run (136.7 ypg). While I generally do not lay numbers like this, Sean Payton has been absolute money off a SU loss, 13-5 ATS. INDIANAPOLIS 13 NEW ORLEANS 38
