  Should be a good game, I am hoping for a Packers win but Steelers D is pretty dominant.

  GO PACK GO!
  
  I like Rodgers in the dome ... if the Steelers can't get to him early and often he'll probably go for 300+ yards. Should be a great great game though.

  Packers are a early 2 1/2 favorite.

  I like the Packers being favored.

  Update on Pouncey.
  
  High ankle sprain. X-Rays were negative. He could be back for the Super Bowl. Pouncey said he will play.

  Terrible matchup for the steelers.
  
  They will need to win in a shootout..this is a game the offense needs to win. Packers will score 30+ in this one....can the steelers score one more than the packers 30+?

  What makes you think they are for sure scoring 30+ against Pittsburgh when they only scored 21 against Chicago? 7 was from a defensive TD.

  Raji's gotta be salivating at Pouncey with a high ankle sprain.

  First off....a controlled environment and surface like Dallas and the SB will help an offense.
  
  Second.....the steelers achilles heel is a team that can pass it like Rodgers can. If the GB OC scraps the run and throws it early, throws it often, utilizes the quick passing attack and such then that is why they will score big
  
  I see it like the Steelers patriots game this year. Look for GB to abandon much of a run and throw it..and throw it all over the place.

  LOL at the Packers scoring 30+. There might not be 30 combined.
• gorocks99

  

  The game will be close. I like Pittsburgh's chances to get pressure on Rodgers, but I also like Rodgers' chances to escape some of that pressure and make plays, either by throwing on the run or by running for 5-10 yards per attempt. Same goes for Roethlisberger, I like Green Bay to get pressure on him but I think he'll make plays out of the pocket.

  No way either team scores 30+....haha two of the best defenses in the league this year, with two of the best d-coordinators....I'm saying this game will be decided by 3 points or less.

  Dec 20 2009 Green Bay @ Pittsburgh 37-36 Pittsburgh with nearly 1000 total yards.

  Packers will be the home team and have the choice of uniform.
• Jester

  

  34-31 Green Bay. Book it.

  One of the best Super Bowl matchups ever and it will be played in front of the largest crowd, most likely.
  
  We know Rodgers will receive the most hype and the Packers will be favored by a lot of people.
  
  It probably does make a lot of sense if you break it down. They've been a little bit hotter, the defense is playing great, Rodgers is playing great, it's going to be played on the turf, etc, etc.
  
  But the Steelers will make the clutch plays and bring home their seventh Super Bowl title.

  Steelers wore whites in their last two Super Bowls so that wouldn't be a problem.

  They're saying the Packers might wear the road uniforms since they've won all their games on the road.

  ^^ good point, they definitely should stick with that

  I think this is a bad matchup for the Steelers defense as well. The only thing the Packers can do is pass...and they do it well. Pittsburgh's corners are below average. I think the Steelers need to score in the upper 20's to win this game.....and I think they will. I am going Steelers 28-27.
