This should be a good game. The Steels are currently favored by 6 1/2 points, but the Cardinals were underdogs in all of their playoff games.

I am so shocked by this. As soon as I leave AZ, the Cardinals suddenly stop sucking!! Either I'm bad luck or they were just waiting until they got their own staduim to start kicking ass. :lol:

All I've seen this season was the last game the Cardinals played, I haven't seen the Steelers play at all, so I can't make a decent prediction. But as the Cardinals have never made it to the Superbowl before, and the cardinal is one of my favorite birds :P , I'll throw my vote their way.

I hope Arizona wins, because I am a native of Houston, and there has been a love-hate relationship between Houston and Pittsburgh when it comes to football, which dates back to December 10, 1979.

That day was also the day I was born.

Well I'm based my choice on how both teams have performed. If you look at Arizona has three of their starters in the offense line for NFC in the Pro Bowl, Warner, Boldin, and Fitzgerald along with two more guys, one in each of Defense and Special Teams. You also have to keep in mind since Big Ben has been himself after the accident after he won the Superbowl in 2006. Its going to be evenly match game based on how the stats on both teams are.

It's anybody's game.

But remembering when the Steelers stole SuperBowl 2003 {?}
from the SeaHawks thanks to some really bad calls,
I am siding with the AZ Cards.

And the NFL should consider Oregon, not just Portland, for any future expansion.

The Superbowl has been mentioned in the news a bit more here because Ben Graham (who plays for the Cardinals) will be the first aussie to play in the Superbowl.

so i chose Arizona.

I would prefer to see Arizona win the game, but it might not happen since the Steelers are a very physical team and the Cardinals, well, are the Cardinals.

Go Cards.

The Steelers are overrated, but very lucky, that might be the difference.

The Cards defense has played better since getting into the playoffs, though, and Polamalu may meet his match against Fitzgerald. Warner has done it before. Whisenhunt used to be the Steelers' offensive coordinator so he may know a few things. I like the Cardinals.

I am a bit surprised at how many people are picking the Cardinals.

Steelers SUCK! :evil:
But again, it's anybody's game.

Dumb Question: Is there a Philadelphia NFL team?

GACH! Football! I can think of no more sucky thing to do than watch a bunch of overpaid, overpadded sissy-boys run into each other for hours while some yerko yammers endlessly about what's happening on the field.

:roll:

I think the Steelers will win. When I got into the post, the voting thing was gone.

The Philadelphia Eagles. They lost to the Cardinals in the NFC championship.
