yeah... but experience doesn't cover spreads.
you guys can tear me up all ya want, I don't care. I wish you the best of luck... no need to come on here like Nostrafuckindamas every time you leave a thread. You will be wrong sometimes. Try being a little more humble and make some points.
When I look at everything, I see a Steelers team doing what it takes to edge out a win. I agree with the shootout idea. Warners 3 step drop will stress the pressure up the middle as much as the pressure will stress him. The Steelers will do a good job of hiding thier pressure, I'm sure, but they will not be willing to open up the short passing game to Boldins side (best short yardage reciever this year- will always accept arguements from Welker supporters). Cards rushing game will do OK (4 yds a carry). What impresses me with Warner lately is his willingness to take the sack or throw away at the right times. throwing the ball away and taking the sack will be huge, as "Fritz" (lol) (the best reciever in the league- will accept Andre Johnson arguements... coming soon Dwayne Bowe and Calvin Johnson arguements) will get his nuff said. special teams will be sharp on both well-coached teams, but field position will favor the Steelers, in my opinion, because their style will yield more consistent results per play. (ho-hum, you would think we would talk about special teams before our rooms in vegas in a thread at covers...).
Pittsburgh will win because... yes, and I expect to be torn up from this... Willie Parker will have a big day.
Fast Willie was the big/little to Jerome Bettis' big/big when they beat Seattle. Fast Willie has had a spark to his attitude the last week. Mewelde will benefit also. While I'm not comparing this game to the Giants match-up, I think Big Bens "escapability" will eventually open up holes in the D-front, especially on second and short situations between the 20 and the 30 yd line (just outside red zone). I think you will see the Steelers throw the ball more than 50% of time on second and short between the 30's to set up big runs deeper in Arizonas territory. I think the Cards will want to bring pressure from the outside, leaving them vulnerable. this all leads to the play action, which Pitt will open up with after a few nice runs, putting big ben in some vulnerable moments but ultimately yielding results. This will feed thier scoring until the 4th, than the intangibles truly take over, favoring Steelers... whether by O or by D.
Arizona has a great gameplan and All Pros sprinkled throughout the offense... but they will fall short to the suprisingly slightly better football team, The Steelers. (Steel Curtain... thats horrible... Steeler fans are too giddy to repremand you for that... thats horrible.... Thank god the bears didnt recreate the super bowl shuffle.).
As for the 'virgin' comments... I'm not impressed with people who refer to regular season results and result trends when judging the super bowl. I think the Ravens represented a team that was given a spot in the AFC championship game with 2 lack-luster performances from the Dolphins and the Titans (Titans being the biggest suprise dissappointment... who woulda thought a rookie wouldve been the only one to show up in the skills department). The only question was, would Pitt cover... which everyone and thier mother won units on.
I really want to go on and on. I want to get into weather and why I think that won't alter things too much, the secondaries of both teams and the jam the steelers will run on Fitz that won't work. Why I think Boldin will take a backseat again... A whole slew of things that led me to my predicts.
Anyone playing any trends lately that you want to clue me in on?? I got a few that I'm currently back dating that are pretty nice, would love to compare.
Anyway-
Both of these teams, like them or not, had the momentum swinging in thier favor in the majority of thier performances. They have played well.
This is the Super Bowl. In the "parody" years of the league. If you can't break down match-ups you are guessing in the NFL these days. Plain and simple.
I hope you all hit big 
. I hope I am right, too, simply because I don't like being wrong in this business. 
Novel idea. no need to fight! 
Pitt wins 34-31.
