John Mellencamp says Colts a lock to go to Super Bowl

John Mellencamp's football loyalties are hometown all the way. The Indiana native is backing the Indianapolis Colts, who will host the New England Patriots on Sunday (January 21st) in the AFC Championship Game. Mellencamp told us he's sure the Colts are Super Bowl-bound, for two reasons: "Oh, I think they're gonna go. They've already beat New England at home, and you don't beat (quarterback) Peyton Manning at the Hoosier Dome."

Mellencamp also told us that he's planning to go to the Super Bowl to support the Colts in person, though he didn't say whether that might include a performance of some sort.

The winner of the Colts-Pats game will go head-to-head with the NFC champ -- either the Chicago Bears or the New Orleans Saints -- in Super Bowl XLI (41), which will be played at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, on February 4th.
