Need a refresher? I take all the teams getting votes in both polls, and those in the top 40 of the RPI, and the first-place team in each conference (aka, the auto-bids).

Super Bowl Betting:

So the Colts are favored by 5 generally. (MGM/Harrahs)

The over under is 56 1/2.

Who do you take and why?

Who is the better team here? I think the Colts are the better team. Are the 5 points better? No. They've had too many close games, the Saints will be ready to play and won't quit early. Take the Saints here to beat the spread.

Over/Under: This one is tough, you're basically saying that there will be 28+ points on each side. But, Take the over. There will be a lot of points scored here. The Saints D isn't "great" so Indy will score. The Saints O is great, especially when Brees doesn't get hit - and I don't think he will that much.

So, Saints +5 and the Over. All day long.
