First Reaction: Super Bowl 45

Alright, so it's been about 90 minutes since we've known who will be going to Arlington, Texas to participate in Super Bowl 45. As I predicted from the NFC, it's the Green Bay Packers. However, it's not the Ravens from the AFC, but the 6-time Super Bowl Champion, Pittsburgh Steelers. This should be an entertaining game. Here's my analysis.

GREEN BAY:

The Packers made it to the Super Bowl without too much trouble. First the beat the Mike- I can't throw worth a crap but I have Desean Jackson to run after my errant passes- Vick led Eagles. The Packers led this game throughout, but the game was not clinched until Tramon Williams (the Packers defensive MVP thus far in the playoffs) picked off a Mike Vick pass in the end zone. The Packers pressured Vick and forced him to throw before he wanted. Against the Falcons, the Packers flat out DOMINATED. They beat the number 1 seed, without too much trouble. Against the Bears, it was much of the same. They jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead, and really never looked back. The D made plays when they had to, and Aaron Rodgers was his normal self. Managing the game and throwing catchable strikes to his receivers. They will need more of the same against the Steelers. The Packers should be able to throw the ball fairly easily against the weak Steelers corners, and the could catch Troy Polamalu out of position like he has been throughout these playoffs. The Packers' D is stout. The front 3 played awesome recently, and the linebackers are solid enough. The DBs (led by Williams and Woodson) are the X-Factors. They need to stop Wallace from getting deep, and watch out for Antonio Brown.

PITTSBURGH:

The Steelers survived. They came back against the Ravens, and held on late (thanks Boldin and Houshmanzadeh!) to pull out the W. Against the Jets, they held off a furious Jets rally and eeked out a tough win. The Steelers need to run, run, run, and hit some PA passes along the way. Mendenhall has been shakey thus far (eh last week, really tough today), but needs to get the tough yards after contact and not fumble against the Packers tough D.

FINAL:

This game will be good. I really do not know who will win, but I don't know how I can go against the Pack. They have so many weapons, and I'm not sold on the Steelers' corners. If Mark Sanchez can play well, there is no telling what Aaron Rodgers can do.

MY PICK:

Packers 34, Steelers 28
