It is that time to make an official pick for Super Bowl XLV. I thought about breaking this game down Dr. Jack Ramsey style but after two weeks of hearing about every angle of this game I’m guessing most people are just eager for kick-off. So let’s skip the bravado and get straight to the pick.
Everywhere you turn people have a different perspective on this one and with good reason…this game could easily go in a number of different ways. Two of the league’s top offenses go up against two of the league’s best defenses. I don’t think it would surprise anyone if this game ended in a low-scoring affair such as 17-14 or if the great quarterbacks involved began carving up these defenses and it turns into a shootout like the last time these two teams met. One thing that most people do expect, however, is a close game. Count me in that group as well, and for that reason I can’t help but pick the Steelers. I have seen Ben Roethlisberger too many times now with the game on the line elevate his play and lead his team to victory. Aaron Rodgers has shown that ability as well, and maybe this game will be the performance that puts Rodgers on a path towards legendary status just as Steve Young's performance in the Super Bowl some years ago did, but until that happens I am going with the proven guy in Roethlisberger.
Steelers win, 27-23.
