Super Bowl XLIV Live: Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints in Miami

Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints do battle for the title of world champions in Super Bowl XLIV on Monday (EDT). We'll have you at nose tackle in the scrimmage with our Live blog.

And what a Super Bowl we have in prospect Live on Fox Sports 3HD and Fox Sports 3 from 10am (EDT) on Monday, February 8.

Defence, for so long, has provided the foundation of victory for Super Bowl champions. But this year is different. This year, the contenders each have a D that can be described as "ordinary" at best. And each defence is attempting to stop an offensive juggernaut.

This year, the Big Show promises to be a real showdown between two aging gunslingers, with Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and Saints counterpart Drew Brees both trying to cap a stellar campaign. Just for once, we seem likely to see more fireworks on the field than during the half-time show.

This quarterback battle also has interesting sub-plots: Brees in control of the league's most potent offence as he tries to win a ring to bolster his reputation as a captain who steadies leaking ships; and Manning, who's starred despite operating with a less than stellar cast, hoping the columnists might finally deem him worthy of a spot outside Tom Brady's shadow.

Then we have the emotional stories of the Saints - for so long the Aints - trying to win in their first Super Bowl appearance; and Colts receiver Pierre Garcon and Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma, players of Haitian descent, drawing inspiration from the suffering of the kinsmen in the wake of the devastating earthquake that destroyed the Caribbean island.

And, of course, we have Reggie Bush, who might become known as someone other than Mr Kim Kardashian if the Saints win.

We'll be live from 9.30am (EDT) on Monday, February 8, open for business to take your early thoughts on the match.

So bookmark this page and return on Monday to follow Super Bowl XLIV Live and Interactive on foxsports.com.au.

Thanks mate, still coming to grips with the new West TV Guide

For the die hards (now that I have found it!) the American Football coverage (Playoffs replays etc) start at 12:50am WST on One HD.

I didn't check prior to the live coverage on Fox what they were showing.

It's a sad day since there's only about 12 hours before the Steelers are no longer NFL champs.

I'm picking the Colts because of Peyton Manning. The guy is simply amazing, I've never seen anyone play the QB position like him.

Hold it together mate

Just gave myself a dose of "Any Given Sunday" to get in the mood

The good thing about the superbowl is the Adds rarely get interrupted by the game
