This is your thread to span the 15 hours of hype and 3 hours of actual football. Not sure how many people are going to be hanging around and not at a watch party or something, but whatever. Off-topic welcome.

My personal prediction is that the Saints will come out flat. I think Drew Brees will have a rough first half, and I also think Peyton Manning will play at as high a level as ever. I'm rooting Saints, but my gut tells me that Brees may have a dry spell for most of the game.
