Pittsburgh- 31
Arizona- 20

Pittsburgh's defense is just too good. They are a more balanced team overall as well.

I'll be cheering for Arizona because i hate Pittsburgh. This game will be decided on if the Cardinals can give Warner enough time to throw to Fitzgerald and Boldin.

24-20 Cardinals

arizona has a shot in this....the key to beating pitt is the short passing game: slants and crossing patterns...the ravens didnt do any of this today...u cant beat pitt with deep ball or the running game, u have to go with the short pass game and play off that accordingly

I'll be rooting for the Cardinals, but believe the Steerlers will win.

Cardinals are gonna have to get off to a good start similar to their last two. I don't think they will. I see Pitt punching them in the mouth early. I'll go 31-21 Pitt.

I will root for the cards I guess. Steelers are impressive though. I remember after their 3rd? monday night game, I was yelling, why are they always playing the steelers, they are not even that good. Well, I was wrong.

The Cardinals have had a magical season, but I have a feeling this one will be ugly. Steelers by a lot.

That doesn’t surprise me one bit.

Dam I'm still shocked we made the Super Bowl. Now let's go shock the world and beat a Steelers team. We need to somehow slow down Troy Pulumalo or else he will have atleast 5-6 sacks on Warner.

This Super Bowl will be annoying as f***, just like the last one the Steelers were in. 3/4 of the crowd will have those very clever Terrible Towels. The defense will win as it always does and make for a terribly boring game. Ben Roethlisberger will be touted as one of the greatest quarterbacks ever and the word dynasty will no doubt be brought up by ESPN.

Go Cards

i can already see the problems that will occur for the steelers. the ravens gigantic gains were off of pass interference "jump ball" type plays. larry fitzgerald will create big problems against the dbs of pittsburgh. that can be solved with troy polamalu, but he has to step up and fill the gaps in other areas, like coming up for the run and TEs across the middle, plays that arizona likes. so getting troy to specifically stop fitzgerald would grind fitzgerald to a halt. but he cannot be used that way, he has to watch the other areas of the field, and the other defenders MUST do their job in containing larry F.
