So since turning on the game, I have seen the Eagles get a field goal and Cardinals 2 TDs and its now 21-6. Are the Eagles suppose to win this? Really?

Also, just so I'm ready for game 2, are the Steelers suppose to win?

Just a note, the Cardinals (much like the Lions) are the league laughing stock, never been to a NFC championship game or superbowl, and have a history of lunacy. Even as the home team this week, I think many expected the Eagles to take them apart. Great story for QB Kurt Warner, who won a SB with the Rams and in later years was tossed aside, signed with the Cards as a backup, only to redeem himself this year when Card's young QB Matt Leinart flamed out. It will be a great storyline if they hang on to go to their first SB.

Honestly, I'd say the Steelers are supposed to win, but like the Cards the Ravens have been shocking opponets all playoffs. I'd call that one even...

I guess I will be pulling for the Cardinals in the Super Bowl this year. God knows I dont want the Steelers to have six Lombardi trophies before the Cowboys do.

Besides, it would be nice to see Kurt Warner get another ring before he retires. Big Ben should have a few more opportunities left to get a second ring.

Steelers looked good last night, as they did last week. They look very much unbeatable at this stage, with all aspects clicking pretty well (aside from the punting, that is).

I have a hard time imagining the Cards knocking them off, but then again I thought the same about the Eagles. I'd say if Hines Ward is good to go, the Steelers should win it handily, but if he's out, it's going to be a close one.

Let mirth prevail!

Should be a good game.
I'll be cheering for the Pitt Defense.

I am going for Arizona, also. Can't stand the Steelers.

However, I do think the Steelers will probably win. Don't take too much from the the Steeler win over the Ravens. The Ravens offense is one of the most pathetic in all of the NFL. Arizona has a much better offense. May not lead them to victory, but it should make things more interesting.

I too am going with Arizona on this. I think Arizona's QB is playing better then Pitts. Also Warner has a history of winning the big game. He will do what is needed to win - like throw the ball away when he has nothing. Something Pitts QB has never learned. Could be a close game. Pitts defense is much better than Arizona's.

Pittsburgh: 22

And no I'm not betting on it if anyone does start something like that.

I'm changing my prediction slightly to:

Pittsburgh - 23

Arizona - 13

... since I got my new superbowl numbers (and sweet ass numbers they are!!!!)

We are way overdue for a Superbowl blowout. I really want the Cards to win, but the Pitt D is killer...

Steelers 41

Cards 10

I understand Steelers / 49ers / Cowboys have each won six SBs...

therefore routing against AZ would feel somehow, disquieting.

I think then, Cards 38 Pittsburgh 24

Enjoy the Game all,

David

Actually, they have each won five. If Pittsburgh wins they will be the first NFL team to win six Super Bowls.

My bad, five each then...

I wonder, in genuine curiosity, would that be a point of pride for Cowboy & 'Niner fans? or just a curiousity?

(locally, we know very well how many championships our hockey club has won compared with the more, um, Montreal-based club has... :evil:

Most definitely. I have no desire to see the Steelers or 49'ers get to six before the Cowboys do.
