Super Bowl XLV

[CarolinaKid704]

I'm also surprised at the poll results. Looks like I'm on board with everyone here. Would rather see GB win. 24-20 Packers.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

like'm or not, pittsburgh will win.

the game itself is just a formality.

[CarolinaKid704]

WOW. opening line for the game Packers -2 and 45. Might be getting this from a bogus site, how could Pack be favored?

[Jackofalltrades]

I'd like to see GB win, but all those play off tested guys for Pitt will be the difference.

Steelers - 28

Packers - 27

I gotcha, but anything that buries the 49ers and Cowboys more is a good thing in my book.

no doubt, and if they get 7 overall, they are tossing more dirt on the Cowboys grave..

I'm tired of the Steelers so I'll be pulling for the Packers to end this dismal season.

Packers. I was on their wagon in the early 90s before the panthers came to be, and have no problem jumping back on it for a game. I also live in a city infested by transplant steelers, and would love to see them cry instead of holding up an additional finger every time we talk football.

thinking stealers...hoping Packers.

The Steelers are stacked with guys that have star power. Just to name a few, on defense you got.........

DE Aaron Smith (If he can go), good player

DT Casey Hampton, dominant run stopper

LB Lamar Woodley, star

LB James Harrison, star

LB James Farrior, old star

LB Lawrence Timmons, young star

DB Ike Taylor, good corner

DB Troy Polamalu, best safety in the league (Even at 85%)

DB Ryan Clark, dependable safety

On offense..............

QB Ben Roethlisberger, one of the top qbs in the league

RB Rashard Mendenhall, up and coming runner

WR Hines Ward, old star

WR Mike Wallace, good wr with great speed

TE Heath Miller, good TE

Greenbay has a great defense, but they will struggle to stop the Steelers offense. The Packers offense starts and ends with Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers is going to once again retain their name as Blitzburgh, and will cause him trouble all day. This will be the first superbowl for most of the Packers players, and might succumb to the pressure early on in the game. That is where the Steelers will take the advantage. I say the Steelers win in a blowout 28-10. Mark it down someone!

Hmmm

Packers Defense:

Cullen Jenkins - Kris Jenkins 2.0 (in his good days)

B.J Raji - Great run stuffer

Clay Matthews - Best 3-4 linebacker in the league

Charles Woodson - One of the best CB's in the league

Tramon Williams - Emerging star

Nick Collins - Pro Bowl Safety

Packers Offense:

Aaron Rodgers - ..Need I say more?

O-Line - pretty darn good

Greg Jennings - Star

Donald Driver - Reliable Vet

James Jones - Young star

Jordy Nelson - Great Hands

The Steelers have a good defense. And we all know what the Chicago defense did to Green Bay in the NFC Championship game. If the Steelers have another 9 minute opening drive for a TD, and just control the clock and score every drive. They will win. But I'm pulling for the Pack.

[Kettle]

comparing this weekend's games to what we will see in two weeks is pointless. the conditions affect the game! the game in dallas will be nothing like the below freezing temps of chicago and pittsburgh. it will be closer to what happened in ATL.

that does benefit both teams, but I think more so for the pack.

I feel that Green Bay is fast enough to contain Raplesburger and force him to be a prototypical qb. That being said, I think the steelers will win a close one. go pack
