The match is set, the field is prepared and history is ready to be made. Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts will face off against the high powered explosive offense of the New Orleans Saints in Super BowlXLIV in Miami on Sunday.

Manning and the Colts will return to the site of their Super Bowl win in 2007. On that rainy Sunday, the world saw Prince play the electric guitar in high heels and Manning win the MVP title. The Colts return to Miami with a plan to follow the samegameplan from four years ago. They are staying at the same hotel and have the same team rule that players and family cant stay at the same hotel. The only difference is Jim Caldwell is now head coach, ex-head coach Tony Dungy is now a commentator, and no Marvin Harrison.

The Saints are carrying the weight of a city on their backs. Drew Brees hopes to continue his playoff success (6TD's, O INT's) as the Saints look at winning their first championship. Reggie Bush is starting to develop into the powerful, multitooled weapon of the offense for which he was drafted. The only problem is that the Saints' defense is ranked 25th in the league in overall yards given up per game.

The game is shaping up to be something special for the Manning family. Peyton's dad, Archie Manning, was drafted by the Saints and played ten seasons, never having a winning record. He raised his family in New Orleans. Peyton Manning now has to beat his favorite childhood team in order to win the biggest football game on Earth.

There are several other reasons to watch the big game Sunday. Super Bowl commercials sell for up to $2.5 million dollars for 30 seconds. Favorites over the years have become cult classics that can be viewed on YouTube.com. Another draw is the spectacle of the game itself. No expense is spared for the pregame ceremonies and fireworks, and The Who will perform at halftime.

And watching the game is always better with good people, food and drinks. Check this article for places to go.

My prediction: Saints over Colts 31-27.
