Super Bowl Thoughts.

[Zanshin]

I keep reading about how the Seahawks and Steelers are evenly matched, but I'm not sure I see that.  The Seahawks looked sharp against the Panthers, but that was the first game when they looked like legit contenders to me.

I know that the Seattle D has been pretty stout against the run this year, but I can't help but thinking that their undersized front seven is going to get blown off the ball in this game.  And as good as the Seahawks line is, I think they'll struggle a bit more against the Pitt 3-4.  So, if the battle is truly won in the trenches, I'd have to call the Steelers the heavy favorites in the game.

But I'm not really hearing that in most media outlets...which makes me wonder how much they believe what they say, versus building up the game for the sake of building it up.

Any other thoughts on it?

Pittsburgh has to be a pretty heavy favorite, I would think.  I think all this "evenly matched" crap is just hype for the game.

My thoughts are that I am going to be too drunk to care by kickoff and too drunk to be upright by the final gun. Other than half-heartedly rooting against the steelers, this game means less than nothing to me.

We have friends that are throwing a Super Bowl party now because they're Stillers fans.

Joy.


The wife is hot, though.

Exactly what I'm thinking. 

What are the betting lines on the game?

For me I'd rather cheer for Homgren over Cower...go Seahawks

the steelers are going to crush the seahawks.  its destiny for the "BUS".  oh i can' wait for the media hype on that 

but really i can't see the seahawks winning.  i don't think its going to be a blowout, but the steelers got that toughness about them.  polamalu is an absolute beast at SS.  im won't be surprised if he wins MVP.  big ben is playing very well, but all the pressure of the super bowl could get to him and he could hsve a major choke day too.  hes still very young.  thats the only way the seahawks win, if big ben has a bad day.  other than that, its pitts game to win.

pitt-31
seagulls-26

Oh, I don't care about it in an emotional way at all.  But as a fan of the game of football, I'm always curious how things will play out.  It's a different way to watch the game than when you're emotionally invested in it.

Pittsburgh - 3.5 to open

[Rome]

The Euro's have it anywhere from 3.5 to 4 right now with one exception.

One house has it Pittsburgh -2.5.

I'd rather cheer Cowher over Holmgren. Go Steelers. 

[JTrotter Fan]

The first team that runs their mouth about gettin no respect will lose a horrible game. 

[Phanatic]

If I drink a ton of beer and I squint at the TV screen the Seahawks Uniforms and helmet logo kind of look like the Eagles are playing.... So I'll just plan to go with that for the big game.
