Sister of Providence makes Super Bowl pick … hint, it’s not New Orleans
How could a Sister of Providence turn against Saints?
Well, it’s fairly easily when she is a much-sought-after prognosticator of Super Bowl winners.
Sister Jean Kenny has become well-known for her successful predictions, and the poem she writes annually to identify her pick for the Super Bowl winner. She has made appearances on Chicago area television and radio stations, in USA Today, on CNN, with Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno, and on many other media sites, including CBS Sports and Fox Sports.
She will appear on CNN on Super Sunday at 7:15 a.m.
With the Indianapolis Colts playing the New Orleans Saints in Miami, Sister Kenny has summoned the power of blue and white and predicted the Colts will race past the Saints, 31-22.
A devoted Chicago Bears fan, Sister Kenny split her Super Bowl prediction in 2007, when the Colts defeated the Bears, also in Miami. She currently ministers in St. Francis Borgia Parish in Chicago, but says she is not shy about telling people she also roots for the Colts.
Here’s is Sister Kenny’s 2010 prediction:
Manning’s Miami Masterpiece
Welcome back fans to the Sunshine State,
see the galloping Colts sprint out of the gate;
Sean Payton’s “Who Dat” team is dealt their bridesmaid fate,
while the BLUE Dat
winners go on to celebrate.
The penalty prone Saints are confused and slow,
Drew Brees experiences a knock-out blow.
Gentleman Jim Irsay’s team is focused and ready to go.
Coach Caldwell’s game plan unfolds well at the NFL’s biggest show.
Freeney shows “Hoosier Hospitality” as he inflicts some pain.
The saddened Saints fall from grace and are sore and lame.
They played hard but could not live up to their name.
The Colts Stampede In Miami again and win the big game!
