Super Bowl Prediction

Well, we’ve come down to the final game.  Arizona vs Pittsburgh for all the marbles.  On the surface this looks like a classic battle of contrasting styles with the high powered offense of the Cardinals running head on into the bruising defense of the Steelers.  But, if you look deeper you see that Pittsburgh is averaging 29 points a game in it’s two playoff games while the Arizona defense in it’s three playoff contests has forced 12 turnovers.  I think this is the key matchup.  Arizona’s offense is going to put up some points and Pittsburgh’s defense is going to make some big plays, it’s what they’ve done all year and I don’t think it’s going to change now.  The question becomes will Pittsburgh’s offense with injuries to both QB Ben Rothlisberger and WR Hines Ward be able to put up enough points themselves and will they see the Cardinals defense that forced those turnovers in the playoffs or the one that ranked 28th in the league during the regular season allowing 26.6 points a game.

Pick: I’m going to go against the grain here and say the Cardinals continue to force the turnovers and score just enough to win.  Arizona 27, Pittsburgh 24

Last Week: 2-0
