-Monday: Superbowl Game Analysis


You've read our "Road To The Superbowl" segments. You've read the head to head comparison of both superbowl squadrons. Now, it's time to pick a winner. It is time to man-up, put your cojones on the line, and make a bold prediction. However, this isn't any simple guess. This is the Superbowl. This alone makes it ten times harder than your regular, regular season game. You pick right, you're a hero. You pick wrong, your the Joey Harrington of game picks. Do you want to be a "Joey Harrington" of anything? I know I sure don't.

The Cardinals are the hotter team in my mind. Coming off impressive wins against Atlanta, Carolina, and Philadelphia can only mean one thing; they're for real. The Steelers, being the number two seed in the AFC tournament, were expected to defeat San Diego and Baltimore. And they did just that. One of the best offenses in the league, will go up against the best defense in the league. What the result of when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? A hell of a good football game. Kurt Warner will move the ball against the Pittsburgh defense. The weakest link of the Dick LeBeau defense is the secondary, and they will be no match for Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, and Steve Breaston. I don't care if hair boy is lurking back there or not, he will have his hands full. Expect Anquan Boldin to have a big night here, as all the attention will be on Fitzgerald. The Steelers will not have a problem moving the ball on offense either, especially late in the game when the Cardinal's defense seems to disappear. I truly believe this is a game of "who wants it more?" Kurt Warner already has a ring. So does Ben Roethlisberger. Most experts see this as a Steelers blowout. I do not. I see this as an up and down game with many lead changes. This game will ultimately be decided in the mid-late 4th quarter, and I am going with the boys in red. Whisenhunt has been here. Tomlin...hasn't. I can trust Kurt Warner in the big game, but I can't trust the man who's nicknamed after a tower in London. Expect an upset; and gosh I sure hope I don't look dumb on Monday morning...
