Hello guys, I can't beleive that this is the last Gridiron Pick of the 2010-2011 NFL season. I hope that all you guys are excited about this game because I surely am. Lets get to my Super Bowl pick!
Steelers vs. Packers. In the biggest game of the year we have these two teams that already have multiple Super Bowl wins. The Steelers are the underdog going into Super Bowl XLV, but this means nothing. In fact I am picking the experience to win the Super Bowl. The Steelers need to get on the board early to get into the Packers' heads. One thing that effects the Steelers very much is that Maurkice Pouncey will not be playing, because of that high ankle sprain that he suffered in the AFC Championship. With or with out Pouncey, the Steelers would need to enforce the running game. They may not be able to do it as effectively, but I think that if the Steelers set up a nice running game early, then that could lead to Ben Roethlisberger having a nice day at quarterback. The Steelers offensive line must give Ben some time, but if we have seen Ben play before, he shows that he can make a play no matter the circumstances. The Steelers defense need to play inspired out there if they want to win. Could this be Defensive Coordinator Dick LeBeau"s last game coaching before he retires. I think that the Steelers defense needs to win it for coach LeBeau.
The Packers must play good defense, because I am afraid that if they don't, the Steelers will have this one wrapped up early. A lot of people see the Steelers as the underdogs, but I see it the other way around. Another advantage the Packers have other than the Pouncey injury is that the Steelers defensive backs have been dinged up all season. Aaron Rodgers must use this as an advantage. The Steelers defense only gets stronger as it the game goes, so if you don't get them on their heals early the it may be hard to score some points. Special teams need to go in the favor for the Packers too, but the Steelers special teams has improved 100% from what it was last year.
What a game, just the hype pumps you up, but just think about how great it is going to be just to watch two teams that have faced adversity all year long, and now just have one more game to win before they can be called Champions of the world! WHO WILL BE THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPS?
My Pick= Steelers, 27-21
