In a lot of ways, this may be the best Superbowl match-up prior to the game that I can remember for a long time. Two teams with great defenses, infamous QBs trying to ignore their pasts (for very different reason), blue-collar teams, and teams with largely overweight fan bases.
But the real question is...who will win (especially since the VW Darth Vader commercial is already commercial of the year)?
Looking at this game, the real key will be Aaron Rodgers and his WRs versus Troy and the other DBs. I don't think the Steelers are deep enough to cover everyone...which means the blitz pick up will be the thing to watch. If Rodgers has time or can roll out, the game will be half way won.
What's the other half? Doing the exact same thing to Ben. If you don't hold him down like a drunk coed in a bar bathroom, he will find a way to make plays. Can Clay Matthews and Chuck Woodson get to him? Maybe, the Ravens never do, however.
So, I guess I need to pick, huh? Well, I picked them to be here at the beginning of the season, picked their QB as my MVP, gotta stay true.
Winner: Packers 35, Steelers 31
