    I'm not suprised. Everyone is in love with Green Bay right now. I'll gladly take the Steelers and 3 points

      Interesting... I think this line will move in the 2 week span heading up to the SB.

            Green Bay seems so one dimensional. Shut down Rogers, and the Steeles should win. Also Ben is a winner and been there before. This is Rodgers first superbowl and he has taken some big hits this season. I really expected a pick em or Pitt a slight favorite. Just on gut reaction threw a small bet onthe Pitt moneyline at +120. Will see where it goes later this week to see what I will add.

                I was just as suprised to see pack at -3.5 on the road in this game but they covered. I agree it should be a pickem though.

                      I've been cleaning up on the packers in the playoffs and said I would take them in the superbowl also but for +3 I don't see how you can pass on the steelers.

                        I think the line is going to move the Steelers way. I'm going to pay and take the Steelers at +3 while I can.
                        When was the last time there has been a line less than 3 in the Super Bowl? It could be recent, but don't think it was.

                          I agree that the line may go up. But trust me guys - you want to take Green Bay in this one....

                            Pitt +3


                            Chicago has done a great job sutting down GB offense
                            Im sure Lovie and his boy Tomlin will talk about it


                            GB cant run on Pitts defense

                            If Pitts can sun on GB and control the clock like they did yesterday vs NYJ they can win SU

                                    Pittsburg has to play a full game to win.

                                        This seems like good logic but really I think its the opposite. The packers have been devastating lately with their playaction. Take away their run game and you don't need to respect the play action and they are in big trouble.

                                            where u get 3.5? it opened at 2.5. Crossing the 3 is a very significant move.

                                                Not too surprised by the opening line. Stelers are over-rated.

                                                  Put your surprise aside...

                                                  ----but don't get me wrong, JUMP on the Steelers right now if you're so inclined............by game time, the line will be a Pick-Em.

                                                  Watch.

                                                    Agreed...it will be a pk when kickoff comes around.

                                                    Still not sure who i like...i can easily see either team winning. Very tough game.

                                                        Agree ... this will be a great game. A Rog is on fire, but I think the week off will hurt the GB offense. Like Pitt

                                                            i would agree.. but in those games there was a home and away team.. in this game there truly isn't

                                                            Making pitt plus points in this game is a clear sign to stay away boys..

                                                            the sports fan in me said Pitt right off the bat based off both games yesterday...

                                                            but when i saw Vegas made Pitt the Dog and not 6 seed GB the writing was on the wall guys...

                                                            Vegas is planning on the sports fan in all of us in order to win this game... Public Perception is Everything.. and right now Pitt has all the Perception..

                                                            perception is Vegas's biggest weapon against us guys..

This is Rodgers first superbowl and he has taken some big hits this season. I really expected a pick em or Pitt a slight favorite. Just on gut reaction threw a small bet onthe Pitt moneyline at +120. Will see where it goes later this week to see what I will add.

                                                                  Problem is no one can shut down Rodgers atm. Steelers do not have the personal on secondary to stop the WR core of the Packers. The Packers offense INDOORS is amazing. Each one of them is a great route-runner and they are great after the catch. If Steelers plan on "hitting" instead of" wrap up tackle", expect big gains from the Pack WR's after the catch.

                                                                  McFadden got blown up last year by Rodgers in the Cardinals game if i remember correctly. And Ike Tayler has been blown more than once during these playoffs. If that Old-Man's Defense of the Steelers(avg age is 29) can't get pressure on Rodgers, it's going to be a LONG night for their D. I don't understand the whole "one-dimensional" thing since the Packers have ran the ball at least 30 times in the past 3 games. They ran for 120 yards on 32 carries vs the second best run D in Chicago, in the cold. Just like I have posted before, the carries are just as important than the yardage. It makes oppossing defenses to respect Play-fakes, play-action game of the Packers on 1st and 2nd down.

                                                                  Packers will win big come Superbowl Sunday.
