GB is the play. Stud Center Pouncey either out or banged up. GB going to control the ground and trenches.

Was just thinking the same thing. He may very well do it anyway, but B.J. Raji will dominate Pitt's backup center and blow up a lot of plays in the backfield. Could turn out to be a key matchup in the game and may go a long way towards determining how well Pitt runs the ball.

how do you know Green Bay is better than Pittsburgh even though Pittsburgh may win?? Green Bay was very fortunate to beat the Bears today, a Bears team whos first team qb quit on them and 3rd string qb led them up and down the field. Pitt has a qb that has won a few superbowls, GB doesnt...Pitt has a superbowl coach, GB doesnt...on and on and on...

Every single great QB at one time had never won a SB. Roethlisberger stunk in the Steelers so called win over Seattle. Joe Montana, Bart starr, Bradshaw all were winless at one time. What does it mean that Rodgers has never won a Super Bowl ? Means nothing.

Ill try to keep my opinions out of this and just go facts.

GB has been much more impressive than Pitt in the playoffs, on the road and vs better comp.
Pitts OL is banged up and at times this year their pass D has struggled with juggernaut Os who spread it around (NO, NE)

I dont see how GB couldnt open as a slight fav....

Why are you asking him how he knows? How do you know? Nobody knows for sure obviously.

GB wasn't impressive 2nd half vs Bears but Pitt wasn't remotely impressive 2nd half vs Jets either. I'll give that edge to the Pack considering they atleast were on the road.

I'm leaning GB

warm weather, neutral site, should help Rodgers go off

but I respect the Steelers. A classic match-up

The #6 seed in the NFC is better than the #2 seed in the AFC? Lol

Quite frankly, what does the seeds have to do with anything at this point ? There is no longer any home field advantage to either team. The home field sure didn't help anyone beat the Packers anyway. Packers - 2 1/2 is exactly where I put the line at and I don't expect the line to move much in either direction. Both teams showed their stuff in the first half and both teams almost gave the game away in the second half.... weird games IMHO

Steelers were lucky that their running back had a great day. So many times he should have been stopped for a loss or small gain. Jets had to tackle like they tackled in the second half.

pitt nearly gave up a 24 pt lead. prolly would have if they hadnt made the last 2 fd's. plus roth threw a pass rite to a jet db [k. wilson], who let it hit him in the face mask, if he catches it; easy pic 6.

Yeah, and a 3rd string QB gave GB a scare. Neither team looked all that great.

Dont you guys know by now that your play calling is changed when you are ahead or behind by 3 touchdowns?

Yeah it's great for betting live on teams down big, if it's not too late in the game.

As for the Super Bowl, it looks like a toss up to me, so i'm considering a ML play,
or if i can find a Steelers -2.5 or -3, etc somewhere.
