MIAMI (AP) --  The New Orleans Saints are getting support from all over the country and cheers are even coming from President Barack Obama. 

The president says he is "rooting a little bit" for the Saints as the underdog, in part because of what happened to the city
during Hurricane Katrina. 

The sympathetic cheers for the Saints are also coming from Queen Latifah and Miss America. Many people say a Saints win would provide a big boost to a city still recovering from the effects of Katrina almost five years ago. 

Despite the good feelings, Peyton Manning and the Colts are 5-point favorites.
