Super Bowl Pick

In deciding who to pick as the winner of the Super Bowl, I decided to look no further than the defenses. The Cardinals actually have a solid defense, as noted from their Fantasy Football numbers. Despite week 4's devastating loss, 56-35 to the New Jersey Jets, in which Kurt Warner threw for an amazing 472 yards (w/ 3 ints) in the loss, the Cardinals defense had a very great year defensively. I don't have to comment on the Cardinals stout offense and the numbers put up this year and in the playoffs. There is nothing to say, buy they are good.

However, I am picking the Pittsburgh Steelers to win by at least 2 TDs. The Steel Curtain defense is just plain nasty. I think there is no doubt this could very easily be the best defense of all-time, lead by the best number in football, #43, Troy Polamalu, and the best safety/roverback, or whatever you want to call him. Did I mention #43 is the best number to have in football. The thing that makes me say, "Hmm?" is Hines Ward being injured. He has been the linchpin for the offense, and they might struggle as he goes. But the Steelers running game is going to be what will, first and foremost, decide how the offense performs. My prediction is they will have a stellar game running the pigskin with at least two touchdowns, one for over 35 yards.

So my prediction for this game will be Steelers 34 - Cardinals 20.
