Super Bowl XLV: Go Pack, Go Steelers!

By Nicholas Stix

Heck, I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I’m watching it. Both teams are evenly matched. After years of defensive decline during the Brett Favre era, Green Bay has put together a very solid unit, though I don’t know any of these guys’ names.

Pittsburgh has a better running game, but Aaron Rodgers has the hot hand. (Ben Roethlisberger does not have such a great track record in Super Bowls.)
The Steelers have the Super Bowl experience, while the younger Pack crew has the hunger. All of the factors cancel each other out.

I expect a very close, hard-fought game, decided by three or four points, but it could go either way: Say, 10-7, or 34-31.
