New Orleans fans everywhere would love nothing else than to have their underdog team walk away triumphantly with the Vince Lombardi Trophy in hand. But if the odds are on the money, this may not be the outcome.
If the Saints pull off the upset, they will win their first Super Bowl title in history. But if the analysts are right, the Colts will win their second Super Bowl title in four years. So are the Saints ready for this kind of pressure?
"Both teams are battle-tested, having played a full season. We've played from behind and been ahead. When you win 13 or 14 regular-season games and then win two in the postseason, there are certain things you learn to deal with," shared Saints coach Sean Payton on Friday.
But Brees claims to understand that coming into the Super Bowl does bring nerves, but as preparation week goes by, the team starts to loosen up. "The nerves and those butterflies, slowly as the week goes along, they continue to diminish and what replaces it is confidence. The more you know that you are prepared and ready and you visualized it and are ready to take on the moment, that's when the confidence comes in."
