Canaan Smith will be paying some attention to the NFL playoffs this weekend, more so to the second game on Sunday (January 18th) than the first one, since his hometown team, the Indianapolis Colts are taking on the New England Patriots.
“I was born in Indiana, so I got to favor the Colts, just because of the hometown connection there,” says Canaan. “So, I’m going to go with the Colts for the Super Bowl.” He does, however, hope the Tennessee Titans (his adopted hometown team) have a better season coming up than they did with the 2-14 record they had this past year.
Canaan admits he’s more of a college football fan, and he was rooting for the Ohio State Buckeyes to pull out a win, especially since his wife, Christie, graduated from OSU. “My wife (Christie) is from Ohio. She went to Ohio State, so I married into the Buckeye tradition,” he says. “We were watching the Championship the other night, and we were jumping off the couch with excitement.”
Canaan is currently making his way up the country charts with his single, “Love You Like That,” from his forthcoming album, due out later this year.

“I was born in Indiana, so I got to favor the Colts, just because of the hometown connection there. But, I wish the [Tennessee] Titans would get it together, because I’d love to be able to stand behind the Titans, and I still do, but it’s just not their year. So, I’m going to go with the Colts for the Super Bowl.

“My wife (Christie) is from Ohio. She went to Ohio State, so I married into the Buckeye tradition. We were watching the Championship the other night, and we were jumping off the couch with excitement. Cardale Jones, that being his third game ever, was just mind-blowing. He’s definitely NFL bound. Ezekiel Elliott just crushed it. It was just cool to see people perform under pressure. That’s what I have to do every night on stage and getting to see collegiate athletes doing what they do and being their best when it counts the most is pretty awesome.”
