Anyone doing Super Bowl betting knows that this year’s edition is all about the quarterbacks. Drew Brees and Peyton Manning terrorized opposing defences this year, just like they have over the past half dozen seasons. When they go head to head on February 7 in Miami, FL it will be a matchup between one great quarterback and arguable the greatest quarterback.

The New Orleans Saints have gotten to the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history on the arm of Drew Brees. Leading the league in touchdowns with 34, this Purdue product posted the second best passer rating, 109.6, since 2005 in route to his best statistical season. He has an offensive line that boasts three Pro Bowlers and a talented group of receivers that allows him to spread the ball all over the field. The Austin, Texas native has never been out of the conference championship round of the playoffs, in his nine year career, but one can be sure he will still make a lot of noise next week at Sun Life Stadium because he is a great quarterback. The only problem is he will be going up against the best quarterback of this decade and arguably the best all time.

The experts at US sportsbook reviews know that Manning is at the top of the game at reading and reacting to the defence before the ball is ever snapped, leading to a league best 4,500 passing yards in the regular season. Not known for scrambling or avoiding the rush in any manner besides sliding around in the pocket, the Colts QB was only sacked 10 times this year. Tom Brady finished second in that category with 16 and Brees was brought down 20 times. Having already won a Super Bowl in 2006, the four time AP NFL Most Valuable player knows how to deal with the pressure and intensity of the big game.

Son of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning, who played for the Saints, and brother to current New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, the game and position are in his blood. His ability to pick apart defences has led him to be the third best statistical quarterback in league history behind Brett Favre and Dan Marino, all in just his 12^th season. Peyton is currently on pace to break Marino’s numbers, amassed over 17 seasons, in two years and most of Favre’s in five, depending on when the 19 year veteran retires.

Do not be mistaken, Brees is a great quarterback in his own right but he is out matched in this upcoming game by who will most likely go down as the best in the history of the game.
