It's the biggest football game of the year. In fact, it may be the biggest sporting event of the year. It's the Super Bowl and this year, in the 44th edition, it'll be the New Orleans Saints vs. the Indianapolis Colts. The only place to watch it, none other than News 12 on Sunday. Coverage starting at Noon and kickoff slated for 6:25pm.

So who's going to win Super Bowl XLIV? I asked the great people at News 12 for their prediction. Check them out and then let us know who you think will win in the comments section!

(In alphabetical order)

Krystal Alabaugh - Production Assistant
Saints 31-28

Blayne Alexander - Multimedia Journalist
Saints 24-10 (The Saints deserve it!)

Meredith Anderson - News 12 at 6:00 and 11 Co-Anchor
Saints 35-34 (Payback for all those times this season the Colts BARELY eked out a win.)

Bryan Baker - On Your Side Reporter
Saints 28-27 (Peyton Manning is the only reason this game will be close. The Colts' defense will do an admirable job of stopping the Saints' explosive offense, but it won't be enough to keep all of its weapons down. The difference in the game is the Saints' ability to hold Manning and Indy to a couple of field goals in the red zone. The game ends when the Saints go for a late fourth down and convert it to keep Manning off of the field for a potential game-winning drive.)

Kelsey Barlow - News 12 at 6:00 Producer
Saints 41-38 (Of course the Saints... after being the "aints" for more than 40 years, it's time for the Who Dat Nation to take over. My guess, with two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, it's going to be a high scoring game and close)
***NOTE: Kelsey is a native of New Orleans, LA

Matt Barnes - Weekend Sports Anchor
Colts 34-27 (Saints didn't impress me against the Vikings and not enough credit is going out to the Colts defense. But lately, the Super Bowl has been a close affair so why not again?)
