Why are you picking one over the other?
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

GB is just on a roll right now.  I don't think the Steeler's can stop them either.

I am picking the Steelers mainly as a fan of the team, but truthfully this match up scares me more than the last two Steeler opponents in the SB. The Steeler's defensive weak point is coverage, and Rodgers can move so he could really pick things apart.

Steelers. Big Ben has proven over and over in the past that he won't be denied.

:D

I'm not so many have discounted Pittsburgh in this game. They put together a string of dominance since November... The Packers just had trouble beating the Bears and the 3rd string QB. As much as I hate to say it... I think the Steelers win this one.
And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.

The Packer offence was pretty potent to begin with... now they seem to have an emerging star at running back.  I do not think the Steelers will allow GB to run the ball but they will have to respect it and their defense will be influenced by it.

The Packer defense is complete.  They will rush four most of the time... and will put pressure on Ben.  The Steelers will probably be mildly successful running the ball but they better stay out of third and long.  The Steelers may be "Blitzburgh" but GB is pretty damn good at it too... combine that with a secondary that has two Pro Bowlers and two others who could be and I think Ben will have a long day.

Green Bay wins its 13th Championship. :)

You have been on fire with the Big Ben jokes all season.

Me too... but I have no dilemma until the Jags and Pack play in a Super Bowl!

It's funny that the Nat'l media will portray this SB as "The dream match up that everybody wanted to see" but I beg to differ; Although of course it will still be very highly sought after. Two "bandwagon type" successful teams that won multiple SB's already doesn't appeal to me. This is the NBA equivalent to the 2010 NBA championship LAL vs Boston, great if you're a fan of either team, not so much if you're not. It has no "fresh" or "underdog" type story ie. Broncos vs Packers, Pats vs Eagles, Pats vs Giants, Saints vs Colts, or Steelers vs Cards. IMO all of the real fun went away when the Jets got beat; They had plenty of fresh storylines, like they haven't won since 69', Rex Ryan's cockiness etc. Either way next year belongs to the Jags!!! :)

Actually my superbowl dream match up would be the Jags and the Steelers. That is always an exciting and competitive game. SN: Remember 2007?  :)

^FYI Jags and Steelers are both in the AFC so that can't happen.

However, I have been to every Jag/Steeler game in Jacksonville since the late 90's and was even at the 07 game in Pittsburgh. The Jags are always very tough for the Steelers and its always the most exciting game for me.
