IN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS, anyone who brings up the Seedings (2 vs. 6) has absolutely no credibility.

Pack looked great against Atlanta. . .
But not so great against Philly and a hobbling Vick who was one pass away from beating Green Bay. Rodgers was mediocre. . .
And again in Chicago, the Bears were on the thirty yard line in position to tie the game late with their third string q.b.
Rodger q.b. rating. . .73. Very mediocre.
Pittsburgh took care of a better Ravens team with a come from behind victory and then downed the Jets in the first half only throwing 5 yes 5 times in the second half for the conservative win.
For a team that had to win the last game of the regular season to get in the playoffs and has looked mediocre in its last 3 out of 4 games, how in the world is Green Bay favored?

Public perception. Both teams take the foot off the gas in the 2nd half GB forgiven against back up QB's in CHI, PIT not they look like the weaker team giving up points to Sanchez & co. and not scoring. Both teams did the same thing protect the lead, dont make any mistakes on offense, let the defense keep everything in front of them make them earn every yard and point. I'm thinking GB fav. helps even the sides. Both teams match up very well on paper, with PIT SB experienced players makes the difference, early lean PIT.

Both teams came out good in the 1st halves in the conf championships... Any thoughts on 1st half bet? Pack -1 and total 22.5. I like the over. Also liking teaser with Steelers +8.5 and over 39.5. And I knew Cutler would blow, that game was like taking candy from a baby! GB should've won that game by 14+ if Rodgers didn't throw that pick to Urlacher.
I am from the 'Burgh and I can honestly understand why the line is Pack -2.5 b/c they are really on fire right now, but still very beatable. I will post again soon. But for now...
GO STEELERS!

It's weird that you say the Steelers knew that and still couldn't stop it because didn't the same thing happen in the packers game? They get up to a nice 2 touchdown lead midway through the 3rd and an undrafted 3rd string QB comes in and completes 13-20 for 153 yards and almost brings them back when GB knew they weren't going to run the ball.

Agree with most of that. Offense run game I think is in Pitt's favor. Mendenhall is a two-time 1,000 yard rusher while GB brings in a guy in Starks that was a relatively unkown until the Philly game. Passing game has gotta be in GB's favor. They've been relying on Rodgers all year cause they have no running game and he's gotten them here. The Steelers can win if Ben has a bad or even a so-so game (look at the '05 Superbowl and even the Jets game as examples) but GB needs Rodgers to play well if they're going to win. If he's off they're screwed. I don't think either O-Line is good. Pitt has already lost 3 guys throughout the year and those guys weren't even that good to begin with. Pouncey will play in the game (he had the same injury on the other ankle in college and played the next game) and he's the only reliable one. Bulaga and Clifton have given up a lot of sacks this year. Harrison and/or Woodley could have big games.

First of all I would like to give BIG props to the Steelers/Packers and their fans for making it to the BIG game 
I feel that the Green Bay Packers coaching staff should deserve some credit for their game planning during the playoffs. I think Rodgers was at his best when he was going by what was scripted to start the games. I guess that's why GB was so terrific in the first half of games during the playoffs. Seems as though the second half of games where Rodgers took control of the offense were not as dynamic. I also feel that the GB defense is a bit under the radar and should get a lot of credit for getting the Packers this far. Starks seems to be stepping up as the starter at tailback but not real sure how he will fair against this tough Steelers run defense.
The Steelers already been to this show a few times and should be able to game plan really well without being distracted. They are very tough on both sides of the ball. If they get their running game going as they did against the Jets they will be looking at another Lombardi trophy.
Story book ending would be...Green Bay wins Super Bowl and Favre is quickly forgotten.
Probably best prop bet is that the commentators mention Favre's name over 10 times during the Super Bowl 
Anyway should be a great game and I'm not sure which way I'm going as of yet...maybe Packers at the half

Packers knew their D would win the game and wanted to limit the amount of exposure of their playbook...
*Vegas is begging for Pitt money right here. On every TV show today, everyone is all over the Steelers. Yet, GB is favored as a 6 seed.
*Pitt OLINE is banged up. If you watched the Jets game, you should have noticed how many stupid blitzes the Jets ran. They would line up with one DT and everyone on one side of the line. Not too hard for an OLINE to pick up. Packers come from all over the place. Packers will have a field day on this OLINE.
*Power vs Speed. However, GB also has power. So Steelers will play power football on offense while the Packers have the 2nd best D in the NFL. On O, the Packers speed will shred Pitts horrendous secondary. Pack will come out 4 and 5 wide and force Pitt to take their strength (LBS) off the field. Unless they want Harrison and CO. trying to cover Jones, Nelson, Jennings, and Driver.
You're on crack! 
Think you could hate on a great Steelers team anymore? Please put your pennies on the 6 seed team.
Sorry that Pittsburgh destroyed the hard knocks Jets.
AFC rules NFC for years now. Steelers 31 - 27.

GB pass rush will get to Ben much more than Jets were able...more pressures and sacks. Especially with Pitt Oline banged up even more now. I too am confused by the line. Could've sworn it would be Pitt -2.5. Was looking forward to GB moneyline and getting a better payout. Either way taking the Pack. GB can limit the Pitt offense. Also think GB offense will have good success on this strong Pitt defense by Pack's strength passing will take advantage of Pitt's only semi-weakness. See it GB 27-24 with late Pitt TD. Would love to take the over, but just too dicey with two solid defenses. Jets game woulda been evem lower scoring without fumble TD. Nowhere near this high total. So just taking Packers.
