The Big Wildcard In the Super Bowl Is..

Colts' defensive end Dwight Freeney. If Freeney can speed rush in the usual way, Drew Brees might not have time to survey the field and rip up the Colts' secondary. Freeney is underrated at defending the run; if Freeney is not at full strength, he will not be catching Saints' runners from the back side. New Orleans' offense will be able to use all its tools if Freeney is unable to play or is not effective, giving them a better chance to win.
