I think Green Bay will win but I am not sure about a score yet.

I'm not ready to make a prediction just yet. I am leaning towards the Packers right now but the Steelers are tough to pick against.

Match-up between two good defensive teams with offenses that are very dangerous in many facets, and today showed how important running from the QB position is in play-off games. Both QBs took some shots, which are a downside to QBs taking off on the ground, so a QB injury in the Super Bowl could be a deciding factor.

^^ beat me to it! haha

Two very similar strong defensive teams with great coaches (Lebeau and Capers)
Two very good QB's who know how to lead their teams to victories.
Two offenses that can score some points.
Two Head Coaches that are all business


It's going to be a great game.

Agreed. So proud to be a life-long Steeler fan and see the try for the 7th Lombardi.

A side benefit to going to the Super Bowl is seeing the hater/trolls on here seethe for another 2 weeks.

LeBeau with two weeks to prepare.

Ben will smack Matthews in the mouth

The Steelers run all over the cheeseheads.

And Budweiser has the best commercial

I think Pittsburgh is better, but man do the Packers look good. Maybe it is because of worse competition in the NFC...who knows. I will take the Steelers by 2.

Well as a Browns fan, if we can't win the Lombardi trophy lol then might as well keep it in the AFC North.

Even as a rival, you have to respect what the Steelers have done the past 10 years.

2 of the 3 greatest franchises since the beginning of the Super Bowl era (along with the Cowboys). As a neutral football fan, you could not ask for a better matchup.

I am also pumped for whatever Budweiser is going to do with the western themed commercials that they hinted at in today's games.

The best part of the Steelers victory for me is that I get to wear my Steelers gear for the next two weeks all over Seattle. The people in Seattle HATE the Steelers. This is going to be fun!
