BetUS.com Experts Super Bowl Picks – The Writers’ Choice

February 5, 2010

If you haven’t made your Super Bowl pick, now is the time. The BetOnline.com writers have all made their picks for Super Bowl picks for Super Bowl XLIV. We believe our writers and handicappers are some of the smartest minds in the sports betting industry so now is their time to shine. Let’s have a look at who the BetOnline.com Experts Super Bowl Picks.

Tommy Long – Colts – Peyton Manning has reached another level; we saw it in the Jets game. The man is on a mission to be the best QB the NFL has ever known. I wouldn’t bet against him right now but I would bet against the Saints defense, they have no chance of stopping the Colts from scoring at will.

Mike Rose – Colts – The Saints couldn’t have run up against a tougher opponent to snag the franchise’s first Super Bowl victory. While it would be a great feel good story for New Orleans to win, Peyton Manning is in the prime of his career and in the process of making a case for being the best QB to ever play the game. I know this is a team sport, but Manning makes the Colts job that much easier. Look for Indy to hoist the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in four years!

Dave D – Colts – You have to go with experience, which means you have to pick the team that has a ring on their finger. The Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl just three years ago and virtually the same roster and coaching staff returns. While the two teams are even, the Colts have a big edge in place kicking where their kicker, Matt Stover, has won a Super Bowl before where the Saints kicker, Garrett Hartley, has a total of 25 field goal attempts.

Sean Rowsome – Colts – "If Peyton Manning can find Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark (the way he has all season) and if Freeney can play at even 70% then I have to go with the Colts.  The Saints will battle score for score, but at the end of the game, when the great rise to meet the horizon of destiny, it will be Manning standing head and shoulders above everyone else."

Charles Jay – Colts – The Colts may not represent great value in the number (-4.5) but do have the most indomitable element in this game, and he wears #18. With an extra week to get ready, I can’t see him not knowing which buttons to push to score the winning points, against a 4-3 defense that, "opportunism" aside, won’t cover all his receiving options effectively enough.

Eric Williams – Colts – First and foremost, the Colts and Peyton Manning in particular, have been to the Super Bowl before and know exactly what to expect while the Saints will almost assuredly be nervous as hell probably for most of the first quarter.

Second, I don’t think the Saints’ totally flimsy defense has any chance whatsoever ever of stopping Manning from going wild and last but not least, the Saints shouldn’t even be in the Super Bowl following their pitiful performance in the NFC title game.

New Orleans barely managed to beat a Minnesota team that repeatedly trued the ball over to them. Manning and the Colts won’t make those miscues as the Colts cruise to victory!

Aaron Torres – Colts – We can sit here and break down the X’s and O’s of Sunday night’s big game, but just know this: The Colts have the better offense. They have the better defense. And they have the best player in the game…Pierre Garcon. Just kidding, it’s obviously Peyton Manning.

It’s boring to pick the favorite, but there’s just no way it ends any other way. Colts 34 Saints 20

D.S. Williamson – Saints – The Saints’ 6 th   ranked rushing attack, the Colts’ Dwight Freeney’s injury, and the extra week the Saints got to get healthy and game plan should all add up to an upset. 

If you’re keeping score at home, 7 of the expert’s Super Bowl picks were backing the Colts and our man D.S. Williamson is the lone dissenter. By being the only man to pick the Saints, he’ll either look like the genius of the group or face taunts and schoolyard bullying from his fellow writers Monday morning. We wish you good luck D.S.

Enjoy the game.
