If stars decide the game, which they usually do, the Colts should win. Only Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who is in the second spot, keeps the Colts from having a sweep of the game’s five best players.
Peyton Manning tops the list at No. 1, followed by Brees, Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney, receiver Reggie Wayne and tight end Dallas Clark. Freeney is highly questionable for the game with an ankle injury.
Three of the top five are key parts of the Indianapolis passing game, while Brees is the key to the Saints passing game. That should set the tone for a high-scoring game, based on these ratings.
