I saw some thing on the NFL network the other night regarding times when the team with the NFL's top scoring and top yards per game offence and what their record was in the Superbowl. I think the top Yardage team had made it 5 times and won 4, the top scoring was 5 times and won 4, and there were 4 times when a team who lead the league in both categories made it and those teams were 3-1 in the game. I think the Rams losing to the Patriots was the only one who lost.
Having seen that I would definitely be willing to bet on the Saints if the spread is 4.5 or more for the Colts and it makes me hesitate to pick the winner more compared to when I hadn't seen those stats.
