    So the idea was to make PIT an underdog
    So that the public would be "trapped" into taking them, correct?

    At least, that's the theory I heard a lot yesterday -- that the natural reaction would be "I get the more experienced Steelers with points? Sign me up!"

    Well so far, 57% of the bets are on GB - the points.

    It'll be interesting to see what happens from here. I still think the Steelers are the play. Solid D (not quite as good as GB's, but still formidable), better running game, and a QB with two rings vs. one who's just getting started in the playoffs.

    If that makes me a sucker, then I guess I've fallen for it.

    rodgers is going to pick apart the steelers d. green bay will run 30 times n only get 60 yards. doesnt matter the yardage...green bay runs so teams respect the play fakes. everyone talks about green bays running game as a non factor but it is. its mor about the carries than the yardage. mark my words...rodgers will rape that secondary indoors. take green bay ml.

        James Harrison will give Rodgers a concussion and it's all over from there. League will fine him 25k but he won't care because he will have the championship.

              I pretty much agree with this post, I would send a point or two your way, but by the looks of things, you don't need my points.

                  Yeh, the key to this game is that it is in Dallas. If this was somewhere cold (even though GB can play in cold weather) Pitt would be able to hang with Aaron Rodgers, but in a dome look out. Rothlisberger will not have a good passing day (rarely does) and probably be picked a couple times as he trys to throw big passes.Remember Rodgers in ATL.

                    My thoughts exactly. GB does not play into Pitts strenghth. Pitt is very suspect in the secondary going against the best receiving corp. in the NFL with arguably the best/hottest QB in the game. This game is not as close as people think. GB will win convincingly.
