Somehow the injuries were overcome and Green Bay made the playoffs after winning its last two regular season games. After a close win over the Eagles, they destroyed Atlanta on the road before taking out the Bears in the NFC title game. Aaron Rodgers has a 6/2 touchdown to interception ratio in the playoffs and looked all-worldly in his lone start in a dome, (throwing for 3 TD's and 366 yards) which is obviously the same surface he'll be on for Sunday's game.
The Steelers are playing for a lot of history. Head coach Mike Tomlin can become the youngest head coach to win two Super Bowls. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger can join the ultra-exclusive 3-rings quarterback club. Pittsburgh has played two really tough playoff games so far, a 31-24 win over Baltimore and a 24-19 victory over the Jets in the AFC title game.
Both teams are led by the league's best defensive minds in Dick Lebeau and Dom Capers, and both defenses have played great this post-season. This seems like an easy pick for a 17-14 defensive struggle, but I don't think so.
I picked the Packers over the Colts back in August, and there's no way I'm changing anything now.
31-24
If they didnt go for 2, you were so right... think mizzou will lose by single digits tonight? Or will the twins put up 25 each on us?
ReplyDeleteYeah, what were they thinking going for 2?
