The Sports guy is picking against the Colts this week, but he says nice things about Manning.
One more thing: Manning is my MVP pick through 12 weeks. Yes, I know Favre has a better statistical case. Yes, I know Brees has played at a consistently higher level. But let’s say you switched any of those three guys with Schaub or Flacco. The Vikes would be 10-1 or 9-2 because of their schedule and playmakers. The Saints would still be contending because of their coach, their skill guys, their defensive speed and their crowd. Where would the Colts be? Would they be 3-8? 4-7? 2-9? No 2009 NFL player is more valuable than Peyton Manning. And by the way, he’s the only opponent who could have swayed Belichick into that fourth-and-2 call. I am convinced.
