The United States betting industry is all geared up and buzzing with activity for the upcoming Super Bowl match next Sunday. New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts- two sides with the most efficient Quarterbacks in the entire league- are about to encounter in what is supposed to be the greatest Super Bowl contest ever.

Both Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints will be looking to get the better of the other when they face each other on February 7, 2010. Both the sides have an intimidating offense and an average defense.

New Orleans Saints stormed into the Super Bowl after ending their NFC season with an impressive 13-3 win-loss record. This will be their first Super Bowl appearance in their 43-year history as an NFL team.

In the NFC championship game, Colts had a close encounter against Minnesota Vikings with a close margin of 31-28. This combined score surpassed the posted over/under of 54 at online sportsbook. For the New Orleans Saints to win, they will need to take advantage of the mediocre defense of the Colts.

With Drew Brees, Heisman Trophy, Marques Colston and Reggie Bush, New Orleans has a formidable lineup. Drew Brees WAS NFL’s best quarterback (109.6). Brees threw for 4,338 yards and had 34 touchdowns. His impressive show with just 11 interceptions earned him 70.6% passer rating.

Backing heavily on Peyton Manning’s leadership, Indianapolis Colts cruised easily through the playoff stages and is now appearing mightier than ever.  However, if Indiana Colts wish to win the Super Bowl, they will need to improve their defense to stop the mighty Saints’ offense.

USA gambling industry is super-excited about this most awaited Super Bowl contest. The US sports betting industry is favoring Indianapolis Colts to win the Super Bowl; however, the New Orleans Saints, trailing by just 4 points, may emerge as winners in their very first appearance.
