Thoughts on the SuperBowl?

Picks?

Predictions?

After watching both championship games, I think this has the makings to be one of the most entertaing Super Bowls that no one will watch.

Pittsburgh 31 Seattle 24

Each team with a decisive victory, with a large margin of points for a victory should make the bowl a great game.

Seahawks 6 Steelers 3

An all-AFC Superbowl? Ugh.

Of all the AFC teams that started in the play-offs, the Stealers were the last team I wanted in it.

Seahawks will probably own. they might win by a billion.

I'm surprised the Steelers are the favorite to win this thing. Though it'll probably be close, I think Seattle will win.

Steelers 28
Seahawks 27

My guess is that the Steelers would be favored by 2.5. Just a guess though. I don't know if the line is out yet.

Hummmm...

Steelers 4 point favorite, total is at 48...

I'll take the Seahawks +4 and the over.

I think it's gonna be something like...

Pittsburgh 31, Seattle 28...Seattle barely covers.

Matt Hasselbeck has to be the most self-consciously bald celebrity ever. Which is what made it beautiful when Bradshaw was rubbing his bald pate as part of the trophy presentation. This has to be a first, right? A legend from your Superbowl opponent humiliates you during your conference championship celebration--it was beautiful.

Steelers 34
Seahawks 13


Largely because Terry got in Matt's (bald) head.

i'm going to be so sick of hearing about this game in, oh, about 10 minutes.

A #6 seed is a 4 point favorite over a #1 seed? That seems fishy. Seems to me that Vegas is just begging people to take Seattle. I won't make that mistake.

Seattle had the easiest strength of schedule in the entire NFL this year. They're about to be exposed.

Pittsburgh has the most effective 3-4 defense in the league - they blitz linebackers from multiple angles (just ask Plummer and Manning). Seattle faced only one 3-4 defense this year - against Dallas. In that game against Dallas, the Seattle offfense struggled the entire game (they finally won 13-10 by scoring 10 points in the final 40 seconds). I look for Pittsburgh to jam 9 and 10 men schemes at the line of scrimmage (to contain Alexander) and bump Seattle's non-physical receivers. I look for Pittsburgh's defense to be the critical factor in this game.

One other fact : Outside of their home field, Seattle did not beat 1 team this year with a record above .500. I like my chances with Pittsburgh who just knocked off Cincinnati, Denver, and Indy - all on the road.

Pittsburgh 27
Seattle 10

I think the Steelers pull it out in a nail biter...

Steelers by 37!

Tough call. For the past two weeks, I would've guessed Seahawks, but the Steelers have looked real good, playing a great game. The fact that these two teams haven't played each other all season makes it tougher to call.

I'll stick with Seahawks.

This is gonna be a great game!

Am I alone in that I find these random, extremely dated thread bumps extremely annoying? I mean, is this bump supposed to be funny?

Yes it was.

Sorry you didn't care for it.
