The Tennessee Titans started the 2008 season 10-0, and finished with the best record in the league at 13-3. They entered the playoffs with the number one seed and home field advantage. They also ran into a red hot rookie quarterback Joe Flacco and his Baltimore Ravens (no diss to Ray Lewis). Those same Ravens face the Indianapolis Colts this weekend, this year's number one seed. It's not like it hasn't happened to Peyton manning before. The 2005 Colts were a number one seed and fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In fact, that team was far more explosive than this year's Colts.
The New Orleans Saints are the nfc number one seed. They have far from resembled a dominate team lately, losing their last three after starting 13-0. The Arizona Cardinals roll into the Big Easy on all cylinders, well at least offensively. And let us not forget the beat down they put on heavily favored Carolina in last year's playoffs. That was a Cardinal road game as well. History does not fare well for a number one seed vs number one seed Super Bowl. I certainly do not anticipate this year being any different.
