The two top seeds in the NFL meet in Super Bowl lines on Sunday as the New Orleans Saints face the Indianapolis Colts in a game that can be seen on CBS with a start time of 6:00pm EST. Super Bowl odds at online sportsbooks have the Colts -5 favorites against the Saints with a betting total of 57. The Colts are trying to win their second title in the last four years and if Indianapolis wins, they would be thought of as a great team but if they lose, then suddenly they are going to be thought of as a team that does well in the regular season but rarely wins the big game. "People sometimes do overlook what we've done here, and a lot of that is because of our past playoff failures," said Colts cornerback Marlin Jackson. "People look at those things and it might take away from what we've done in the regular season. But when you look at our consistency, it is amazing. It speaks to the level of what we've built here." The Colts have the best quarterback in the game in Peyton Manning but not many other superstars. One of their stars, defensive end Dwight Freeney has not practiced at all but is expected to give it a try in pre-game warmups and he may see limited action. While the Colts have the experience of having won against the Super Bowl lines in the past, the Saints are in their first. Bet the Colts -5 as favorites in 2010 Super Bowl odds against the Saints for the big game on CBS with up to $100 free. New Orleans was the top seed in the AFC and finished with their best record ever at 13-3. The Saints will be led in Super Bowl odds by Pro Bowl quarterback Drew Brees and the top ranked offense in the NFL. Brees led the NFL, throwing 34 touchdown passes this season. Neither team has a stout defense but the Colts were better than the Saints statistically. The key for Indianapolis in Super Bowl lines will be getting pressure on Brees and that is why everyone has focused on Dwight Freeney’s ankle. If the Colts can pressure Brees then they should win the game. If not, the Saints have a real chance to pull the upset.

On the other side, the New Orleans defense is all about turnovers. The numbers on the Saints’ defense were not very good but the Saints forced a lot of turnovers and that is their calling card. This is the first time in 17 years that the top two seeds from each conference will be meeting in Super Bowl odds. This year’s game is the 10th one that will be played in South Florida. The Saints and Colts have met a total of ten times in history and each team has won five times. The last meeting was in the opening game of the 2007 season as the Colts won 41-10. Heading into 2010 Super Bowl lines, the Saints have not beaten the Colts since 2001. Vegas odds at the Hilton sportsbook have the Colts -5.5 favorites vs the Saints with a betting total of 57.
