I have two brothers who are crazy about football. They both swear that the Steelers will win in a blowout. Maybe I'm just being contrary, but I'll pick the Cardinals to win. I don't know that much about football, but they seem to have an unstoppable offense. Maybe that will be enough.

I guess we'll see.

I'll go with the Steelers. They've been to the big game just a few years ago (and won it), so they've got the experience. Plus, they had the top defense in the NFL throughout the season.

The Cards have been hot, no doubt about it, but I think they'll be toast come Super Bowl Sunday.

I'm pulling for the Cards, but I'll be amazed if they can overcome the Steelers defense. Of course, Ken Whisenhunt (coach of the Cards) was coaching in Pittsburgh just a few seasons ago, so maybe he'll have a special insight that nobody else would.

And it's going to be hard to stop Larry Fitzgerald right now.

Hope it'll be a good game and not a blow-out.

Look, Arizona is an unknown.

Anytime you have an unknown element in a sports competition, it changes everything.

Everyone is jumping on the Steelers bandwagon because they *know* who the Steelers are.

Arizona has been on national television (in the regular season) MAYBE twice in the last two years. We just don't know who they are.

I pick the Cardinals. Larry Fitzgerald and co. are gonna slice up that weak secondary.

The Cardinals have been dominating all season. They are some straight head busters. My vote goes to them.

I'd love to see the Cardinals win, but I just don't see it. Being a Cowboys win, I don't want to see the Steelers win that record 6th Superbowl and get ahead of Dallas and San Fran, so I'll be fully on the Cards bandwagon this Sunday.

And I haven't been that impressed with Roethlisberger and the offense this year. Big Ben has taken a lot of shots, because the Steelers O-line is weaker than it has been in years past. They don't control the line of scrimmage the way they have in the past, but they don't make a lot of mistakes. I hope the Cardinals Defense gets in Roethlisberger's face and causes some turnovers, and I hope the Cardinals Special Teams come up with another big play or two. But I don't trust 'em to.

Some games comes down to who controls the line of scrimmage and beats down the other team. Some games come down to who makes the most big plays, and who makes the most mistakes. I think that's what this game will be about: big plays and turnovers.

Looks like it's the stellar offense vs. the stellar defense. The Cardinals will make their plays, but I bet the Steelers get a bunch of turnovers. This will set the Steelers offense to score more than normal, so I'll pick the Steelers for something around 38-28.

Weak secondary? Didn't the Steelers have the #1 defense throughout the season?

Well, looks like the Steelers won a nail-biter. Anyone have any thoughts on the game?

I thought it was pretty damned good, myself. The halftime show didn't get on my nerves like I expected it too, and I also thought the commericals were pretty decent this year. All in all, a pretty entertaining Super Bowl.

Sweet catch by Santonio Holmes to put the game away. I'm sure anybody who bet on him to get SuperBowl MVP really cleaned up.

Great game. I sure wish the Cardinals would have found a way to win. My first thought when I saw Fitzgerald sprinting for the endzone was, "I can't believe the Cards are actually ahead after looking so out of it." Then my second thought was, "Oh, man, I think they left too much time on the clock".

Still, it was a lot more entertaining than I thought I would be. Great effort, both teams.
