The Cheese Heads have momentum as well as the Steelers. Not much to choose there. The Steelers have the experience edge. This is important. They both have strong O and D. This will/should be a great game.

Steelers should be favoured but the masses choose otherwise. The masses are usually wrong and I think they will be again. I hate the Steelers.

Steelers 20 - 17 on a last play win.

Mr. Sprat you are a smart man.

What the Fuck are you doing back in my thread i told you to PUT UP OR SHUT THE FUCK UP.  Or are you now willing to take the bet of your fucking whimpy pack team winning by 10.

Now talk about a complete fucking idiot you are now up to GB winning by two scores.  What in the fuck are you smoking.

Last I checked 10 pts is 2 scores! Maybe not up there.You guys get 1 pointers for punts dont you?

Actually Atlanta is a very similar offensive team to the Steelers as there is! A BIG halfback that isn't to flashy.One BIG threat WR a decent TE and not alot else.Oh the biggest difference between the two teams is THE O-LINE! Atlanta's is better by far,more so now that Pouncey is not playing.

Common opponents

Pitt: W vs Jets 24-19, L vs Jets 17-22, W @Bills 19-16, L vs Pats 26-39, W @Fins 23-22, W vs Falcons 15-9 (no Big Ben).

GB: W @Falcons 48-21, L @Pats 27-31(no A-Rodg), L @Falcons 17-20, W @Jets 9-0, L vs Fins 20-23, W vs Bills 34-7

Pitt is 4-2 with 4  games at home being outscored 124-127, while GB is 3-3 with 4 games on the road but outscoring their opponents 155-102. This is in no way a prediction of what will happen tomorrow, but when looking at it from a common opponent perspective, I can see why GB would be favored and why people would lean with the Pack. The Steelers experience is big, but the victories were not impressive against teams they should have handled (Seahawks and Cards). Should be a great SB. I'll be rooting for the Pack. If they win by 1 great, if they win by double digits, even better. If they lose, hide the dog and call in sick this week.

This is one of the most evenly matched Super Bowls I can remember.  I'm going steelers because i'm a homer and I picked them at the beginning of the year when they were +1800 on betus.    also remember only 2 packers have SB experience,  Steelers have 25 with SB experience, 18 are going for their 3rd ring.  Oline will make or break us though.

I'll see you at the windows

Green Bay has been 1-dimensional up to the last 5 games tho not against a D like Pitt. I can see GB getting 75 yds rushing on 20-25 carries and keeping the D honest. I think you give a little too much credit to Pitt's corners as that is their weak link while GB arguably has the best 4 WRs in the NFL. I'm a GB homer with no money on it nor would I want to jinx them by putting something on them. I think this will be a very close game, so I get why someone would take the +3. I was mildly surprised at the number when it came out. But going over the common opponents, I can see why GB is favored. Throw in GB never trailing by more than 7 all year, I would not expect Pitt to blow them out.

I hear you completely HighTide... PITT's corners frighten me frankly, moreover, the Packer's WRs ability to consistently create seperation scare me too, and that's why I expect the Steeler Dbs/Corners to "jam" those GB receivers off the line each and every time, no free-releases Sunday nite... if that PITT pass-rush can get off the ball as swiftly as I believe they will, then I expect Rodgers' timing with them to be compromised, complete with hurries, knock-downs, and more than a couple HARD sacks despite Rodgers' mobility in and around the pocket... I just do not see Gb slowing down Mendenhall often enough to force Big Ben and co into must-pass situations or many 3rd and longs... should be a great game regardless, and may the best team win, officiating aside... finally, w/. regard to GB never trailing by more than a TD all season long, there's a first time for everything...

Good luck to your play. I can live with GB winning by 1 or 2. It might take a couple of years off the old ticker, but a SB win for the Pack would be awesome.

I guess they didn't want it bad enough, or maybe the Packers wanted it too.  Good game though.

How about now?  Over 300 yards 3 TD and 0 turnovers
