Don't overthink this Super Bowl game..........................

Yes that Falcon team. The one who took Pitt into OT in their house. Didn't say Pitt was bad. They're great. But I think Rodgers could have a similar day to what he did in Atl in this indoor setting.

I am with you on the outcome, as I believe this is another "false-favorite" line that Vegas is forced to throw out there every so often due to public perception; PITT +ANY amount of points sure feels like a gift, and I'm in the 'taking' mood. However, I'm not too certain about the OVER coming in frankly, the Steel Curtain can be Uber-dominant when motivated, and just imagine if they are able to knock ARodg outta the game early? Rodgers is prone to concussions after all... Both defenses are damn good at any rate, PITT is gonna run the HELL outta the ball in an effort to both shorten the game and play keep-away from ARodg and co, so I'm leaning Under 45 currently...

good thread

GREAT point on vegas getting it wrong last year with their INDY-5 line for the Bowl, it's all about public perception. Much has been made regarding ARodg playing perhaps his BEST game as a professional @ ATL, and their win @ CHI was impressive, it showed that a good D can contain Rodgers and the Packer offense. Well, PITT has the BEST D in the game, so I am slow to doubt their ability to do an even better job than Chicago did in the NFC championship... could be one for the ages frankly...

Heres a fact the people in here and outside are blind and think one sided for the bowl !

This will open YOUR eyes !

adding this tid bit also  people are so blind to Packers final 6 games of year !

@ atl lost   17-20 

Vs the big bad NFC west 49ers  wheeeeeeeeeeeee

they won 34 -16

@ Detroit - 6.5 if that spread didnt jump off the page and smack u in the face then nothing ever will they were 9.5 favorite at home vs a losisng team just as bad detroit was

now on the road and 3 points less or was it loower and went up to 6.5

WELL we all know the story of that game Packers scored a BIG fat 3 points and lions won 7-3  !

OK so Rodgers got knocked out ! YOU mean to tell me the packers super offense couldnt even get two more FG's INDOORS in a DOME to win over one of theeeee worst teams every in NFL history ?

and OF course as a BIG underdog at Patriots the fraud #1  seed of AFC  lost by 4 points  That was two times packers lost Two games in a row

they lost at Redskins then came home and lost TO miami !

after Patriots  home vs THE giants who doubled up GB's TO total to 10  they only had +5 TO's for 15 weeks

then on thier fucking Knees  week 17 for 3 and 3/4 sqeak out a 10 - 3 win over the bears as a what 9 1/2 point favorite ?

Steelers had play off spot wrapped up week 14  and seeding # 2 week 16  before packers even qualified

DID steelers ever lose TWO games in a ROW ?

NOPE !  DID steelers have tougher schedule ?

YES ! twice they had to face teams who got owned by the browns week before @ the Saints and VS Patriots at home

PUT Packers on steelers 3 road games

@ miami  .Packers lost to them at home !

@ sanits  Packers would Lose that game also

@ Bengals  might win !

when steel bangs UP against Cheese what do YOU think will happen ?

i know it's goofy comparison BUT Steel is stronger Than Cheese

Black and Gold more dominant Colors Than Green and Yellow or Green and Gold !

25 players on steelers and Coaches wear multiple rings WINNERS

two players on Packers have been to superbowls BOTH lost blow outs ;another was on steelers two years ago Practice squad KUHN

they gave HIM a ring even tho he didnt Play any games with them !

Packers alst suoer bowl win was in what ? 1996  !

Steelers same team same time as two years ago  and wearing thier white JERSEYS vs cardinals

When BIG Ben Hit Holmes for final TD to win !

Cardinals if they had real defense could have won that game with that freaking offense they had !

THIS ALL ADDS UP TO STEELERS +3.    The team that can hit the hardest usually wins these Super Bowls and that would be the drum roll please THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS.

If you are not gaining any yards time after time you have to go to the air and then comes Pittsburgh's pash rush and blitzes from everywhere and DIck Lebeau will have more schemes than Carters has little liver pills.  Games only two days away you will see soon.

Great retort lookingtowin... Plus --- if GB consistently finds themselves in 2nd or 3rd & long due to PITT effectively stopping the run, the Steelers will employ a multitude of Blitzing schemes, & at a minimum forcing ARodg out of the pocket, possibly forcing him to throw it away, or at worst, Sackajawea... now, screens or dump-offs over the middle to a "soft-spot" may work some of the time due to GB's spread offense, but ALL of the Steeler linebackers are awfully athletic and are great at "wrapping-up" should ARodg find somebody over the blitz... and then there's this roaming safety named Polamalu who sniffs these things out like a bloodhound and has the hands of a TE when he gets near an errant pass or tipped football... I have learned not to bet against Dick LeBeau and his defense in games of this magnitude, and ESPECIALLY against one-dimensional offenses like the Green Bay's'! Ike, Clark, and McFadden are not the cover corners that Green Bay has, but they are all good tacklers and they have decent speed and likely won't give up the "big" play when GB needs it most imo. Remember, think "bend-but-don't-break"...

BOL bud

If you really think Green Bay will win by 10 or more i will take that bet all day long for as much money you would like to put up front.  If you have a paypal account which i have i will bet any amount of money you wish on your Green Bay by 10 or more.  Time for you to smoke another joint.
