Super Bowl Sunday is only two days from now!! In 48 hours, we will know who is the champion of the NFL this season. The anticipation is definitely building up; I don't think anybody can wait much longer. After Sunday, the lives of the players on both teams will never be the same. The Steelers are trying to win their third Super Bowl in just six years; while the Packers are trying to win their first Super Bowl since the 1996 season. League officials said they're expecting over 105,000 people to be in attendance at Cowboys Stadium for the game. This is going to be as big a stage as there possibly can be. Two weeks ago, I went 1-1 with my Conference Championship picks. I'm not too upset because my preseason AFC representative made it to the Super Bowl. My playoff record right now is 6-4 so I'll be looking to close out the playoffs well with a 7-4 record. Without further ado here is my pick for Super Bowl XLV, enjoy.
Steelers at Packers: Steelers
Super Bowl MVP: Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
When it's all said and done, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be the champions of the football world. I just think they have too much fire power and experience to lose to the Packers. In order for the Packers to win, they're going to have to play with their hair on fire and I don't think that's going to happen. Especially with all the pressure that comes with playing in this game. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is a physical monster. I believe he is the most underrated quarterback in the NFL and will show how good he is this Sunday. The Packers defense will have the task of having to pressure Roethlisberger constantly, but even if you do that, there is no guarantee that he'll go down. Roethlisberger's ability to extend plays will force the Packers defensive backs to have to cover the Steelers wide receivers longer. I actually think Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have a good game. He's been lights out and shown that he isn't phased by the bright lights of the playoffs. Ultimately I don't think he can overcome the bad offensive line that he operates behind. The Steelers front seven should be able to get frequent pressure on Rodgers which will disrupt Green Bay's passing attack. With that said, I expect this to be a very close game. Both these teams are well-coached and play hard. In a close one, I like the experience of the Steelers to be the difference. I can very easily see Roethlisberger making the play to win the game. He is the most clutch quarterback in the NFL right now. After this game, his playoff record will be a gaudy 11-2! The Pittsburgh Steelers as an organization will win their seventh Super Bowl championship.
