    Steelers will win.

    I am rooting for the Packers, though. Steeler fans in western PA are an insanely obnoxious group of people.

    Rooting for the Steelers only because Ziggy Hood (DE) plays for them. He's from the same neighborhood that I am, so I have to root for the hometown hero.

    Cool story, bro.

    That is a cool story! I thought he was going to end up a bit of a bust, but he's really become a beast out there.

    Interestingly enough, both his college (Missouri) and our elementary school's colors are black and yellow. It's destiny for him.

    Computer tough guy (wait, are you from Pittsburgh? Your profile just says PA -- you could be Philly scum) :p

    Anyway, needless to say I'm excited for this one. The vibe I'm getting for this one so far is similar to the feelings I had prior to SBXLIII. Two dangerous offenses (Arizona then, GB now) that routinely go through stretches where they're literally unstoppable against the league's best defense. Clearly, something's gotta give.

    Should be a good one. In the meantime, my plan is to wait and hope for good news regarding Maurkice Pouncey's ankle.

    I'm a bit shocked that the Packers are favored in this game. I think it'll be a pick'em type game, but given that the Steelers were better all season and have the experience factor on their side, I assumed the line would favor them.

    It will be a pick'em or -1 by kickoff I'm sure.

    I have a hard time going against Big Ben. Dude is just one of those special players who refuses to lose and miraculously makes plays when the game is down to the wire. Rodgers is phenomenal, but I'm going to go with the team who has more experience in big games. Steelers!

    I guess I hope the Packers win. I'll watch this game more out of a sense of cultural compulsion than any sense of really caring about it.

    I didn't realize it til just now, but other than the teams from the NFC East, the Steelers and Packers are two of the Cowboys biggest rivals in terms of Superbowl/Playoff history.

    It must stick in the craw of Jerry Jones to have one of those teams winning a Superbowl in his house this year.

    Think the Steelers winning would get under his skin more so since they have more Superbowl wins than the cows....

    I just love the fact that hard core (esp. old school) Cowboys fans have to be choking hard on this one. Basically their two mortal enemies playing for a championship on THEIR field. Awesome.

    I want the Packers to win, but I think the Steelers will.

    The Packers getting to 4 Superbowls wouldn't be much fun for him either, since they look like they are poised to be back a few times over Rodgers' career.
