This is one of the many reasons why I wait to last possible moments to make my final decision on NFL plays
Dwight is doubtful to play in the Superbowl in account of his ankle do to it hindering him("complete tear of ligament!") he also decided not to walk out on to the field for introduction ceremony in the Pro-bowl.
Peyton can try to sugar coat this situation all he wants but the fact is Dwight is irreplaceable.Let me put it to you this way Dwight to the Colts Defense is as important as Peyton to the Colts offense which will be a major factor on the outcome of game now: Meaning the over has a greater chance now and the Saints have a greater chance to cover spread if not win outright as of now if I had to make a bet it would be Saints +5 1/2. I don't bet totals but if I had a gun to my head it would be over as of now also Don't be surprised if line don't drop to 4 1/2 or even 3 1/2 by game time if there is a spike on Saints action.If there is no spike well then line should stay close to where it is.

Even though I'm on the Saints myself...I am a firm believer that with today's modern medicine and Dwights determination to play he'll be there on Sunday. A cortizone shot and some pain meds and he'll be there. Maybe not 100% but 75% and that's still better than most players 100%.
These little head games that are played with comments about hurting Peyton and Dwight not playing....are just that psycological b.s. Block this stuff out and cap like you never heard it and like Pauly said waiting until as late as you can will usually lead to a better decision if you're on the fence about who to take. Goodluck everyone.

I dont know, with the type of player Freeney is (twisting, spinning ,turning) there could not be a worse injury it would not be as big of deal if he were an interior lineman, He is a relentless pass rusher and if he is only 75% Brees will pick them appart, but I will take the Colts in a shootout,

[NYRin09]

saints is the pl4y

[phillybadboy]

is dwight freeney playing how hurt is he

[sooner13]

He's questionable..not doubtful. It will be a "gametime decision" of course. But If there was a line on whether he plays or not....I'd bet he does. It's the Superbowl, he'll have plenty of time to rest after this Sunday.

[AlphaOmega]

No Freeney = big problems

SAINTS all day throught the air

[The General]

Dallas Clark and Reggie Wayne were relatively quiet vs the Jets. Look for them to have strong performances, esp Wayne and his downfield blocking. He is one of the best blocking receivers in the league.

[The General]

Raheem Brock is not a slouch in replacing Freeney also. He and Matchis will be ok. As Dungy taught well, "Next man up".

[Zubi]

One thing I saw when they panned the camera on Freeney he showed no signs of pain on his face. Could be a load of BS

[snow6611]

I definately see saints coverin but i dont see the winning. Even with the potential injuries on the colts side i believe they will still come off with a win however i also believe that this is all hype and is aiding to build tensions for both sides of the ball in the eyes of the fans.

[snow6611]

also if ur hurt u find a way to play

[DaColts]

I expect # 93 to play just not every down so when he is in there they get the most out of him. I still belive the colts O is why we win game so how in the he'll win the saints going stop all of our wepons

[lakerboy]

Simple betting info- Dont bet against Manning

[msec512]

He'll play. But, not sure how long or how good. Freeney is speed player and this injury will definately hinder him.

[xxxvince]

they played well without freeney, colts will be the pick

[Skidcom]

I bet the Colts early and I am hoping Freeney doesn't play. Sorry but he will hurt the team at 70%

[DOMINATER]

pauly lets see if the line changes

[The General]

DB Jerraud Powers may not play again as well.

[The General]

NFL betting History tells that the team covering the spread will usually win an NFL game so I don't like saying one team will win, but not cover ATS.

[PAULYPOKER]

pauly lets see if the line changes

Of-course it's moving like a psychotic yo-yo it was a steady 5 1/2 across the board before the Freeny news and now I've seen it anywhere from Betjam,Bookmaker,Pinnacle,BetChris,and Bet365 at 4 1/2 to Bodog&sports interaction at 6,bet phoenix at 7 and sportsbet&Island casino at 8

[bostonbruins]

Here's a prop I am on

Will the game be tied after 0-0 , I am on YES

Yes +110 /No -140

All the "experts" are predicting a scorefest and back and forth play so why wouldn't it be tied at some point. Seems more likely than not which makes the juice seem curious. With that said I am on this for a unit or two , nothing big.

My point...Shot included..

You Colt backers better hope Freeny doesn't play WHY??? I'll tell you why in a little while

[PAULYPOKER]

Here it is guys as promised only 2 hours later:>


Here is some interesting facts: Every game this season in which Freeny did not contribute but still played meaning he had no tackles or pressure what I'm trying to say Dwight was basically a waste of space on the gridiron and the Colts Damn near lost every single one of those games

Here it is boys I shit you not:

Freeny's stats in following three games:

WEEK OPP RESULT TOT SOLO AST SACK STF STFY FF BK INT
10 NEWEng 35-34 ---0 ---- 0 -- 0 -----0.0 ---0 ---0 ---- 0 -0 --0 -
LNG TD PD YDS
-0--- 0 - 0---0

WEEK OPP RESULT TOT SOLO AST SACK STF STFY FF BK INT
11@BALW 17-15------0 ---- 0 -- 0 ----0.0 ---0 ---0 ---- 0 --0 --0 -
LNG TD PD YDS
-0--- 0 - 0--0

WEEK OPP RESULT TOT SOLO AST SACK STF STFY FF BK INT
15@JACW 35-31-------0 ---- 0 -- 0 ----0.0 ---0 ---0 ---- 0 -0 --0 -
LNG TD PD YDS
-0--- 0 - 0--0

The game he did not play at all in they beat Houston by 8 points which is 1 more point than all 3 of Freeny's half assed episodes combined which is 7 measly points!!!

I am now pretty much convinced that the Saints are going to at-least cover the spread here boys, after-all this is all that matters if your play is Saints +4 1/2 or better, who cares who wins just pay the sucka

Bottom line Freeny is = to Kryptonite to the Colts DeFense if he tries to play

[garlic toast]

classic case of faking an injury to even out the betting money for vegas. expect him to play and make a difference in the game. i'm predicting 2 sacks + 2 forced fumbled for feeney ........................................ .............................

[SHADYLANKY]

I think he will play. How good??? I think it will be a battle and will take the points. It could be last team with the ball wins or worst case Colts get up 10 or so late and Brees back doors them.

[EmpireMaker]

Here's a prop I am on

Will the game be tied after 0-0 , I am on YES

Yes +110 /No -140

I can see a 7-7 tie I like this one too

[chisox19]

I hate playing the high in the SB but i think this one will cruise comfortably over as Manning has to try to win it single handedly

[DOMINATER]

good job pauly

[The General]

Not much real essential.

Let's play the game.

May the best team win.

Good luck

[JBQB107]

i agree with paulypoker..its a torn ligament! not a sprained ankle..he can play for maybe a quarter with the shots players get these days but other than that he is done..im sorry a torn ligament is just impossible to play on..that's like saying a quarterback is going to play with a torn throwing shoulder..just isnt' gonna be effective

[uknowwho]

Don't really consider the colts as being a tricky team that would fake injuries or other underhanded stuff (unlike NE and Belichick). I'd take the colts injury report at face value. Favorites have been overrated (and overconfident) the last few SB. Plus I would love to see New Orleans celebrate. I'm takin the Saints to win for a 30pk of Bud. Let the party begin. Cheers.

[TUDINH]

NO money line win
