Packers Pass D Is Light Years Ahead Of Last Year [Cheese and Wine after the game]
The Packers will have huge issues running against the Steelers front seven.I am one who is impressed by what James Starks has done,but ready to say he is the answer.The Packers are going to need to run the ball to help Rodgers with the play-action.They are tough and get after it better than anyone in the league.That being said, I really believe that the Packers will be able to throw against the Steelers (ie Week 15 of 2009) if they are able to keep the pass rush at bay.Aaron Smith is most likely going to play for the first time in months, so the task gets immediately more complicated.I think playing in a controlled environment will allow Rodgers to have a heck of a game.Troy Polamalu is going to have two weeks to get back to 100%,you could tell he wasn't on top of his game this week.
The Steelers defense is very difficult,but it wont be anything the Packers haven't seen before.Its the Super Bowl so there is more information about this game than it probably warrants.Still with an estimate of 10 billion dollars being wagered clearly the Big Game is big business for the books.But with so much scrutiny how do you get an edge though is the Packers-Steelers gambling conundrum.Some say props are the way to go and you can bet on everything including how long the national anthem will be.I tend to agree but sometimes the props are over and done with so quickly that watching the game becomes pretty boring.I say for this one play it old school and just pick the straight up winner.If you are on GB you get a decent payout (1.74) and if you like the Steelers you can double your money (2.15) don’t see that happening!..Why??.... Packers pass D is light years ahead of last year when we had a ST only guy playing nickel and a street FA from 2 weeks earlier playing dime!Bush and Bell should never have been on the field last year for anything other than ST! Steelers were w/o Polamalu in the vs Pack last year and we all know what kind of a difference maker he can be.Packers w/ Williams,Wood and Shields can match up man to man w/ your WR and do a good job of holding them in check.On the other hand I don’t see you being able to match our WR depth nearly as well, even w/ Polamalu… Unless you harrass Rodgers into playing un-Rodgers like, I see it being an advantage for the Pack!Don’t see either team running the ball very well, so thats a wash… Punting and Field Position might be the deciding factor in a relatively low scoring game! 21-17 one way or the other. Cheese and Wine after the game… LOL

Steelers allow only 62.8 yards per game on the ground. It’s obvious that Super Bowl line odds makers believe the Packers’ wide receivers will have a big impact on the game because 45 ½ points is a lot of points in a contest between the 2nd ranked D in the league, Pittsburgh, and the 5th ranked D in the league,Green BayThe line for Super Bowl total of 45 ½ will go either up or down depending on how sports handicappers view Green Bay’s passing game versus Pittsburgh’s secondary.I’m not ready to say how much of an impact Green Bay’s wide receivers will have on the total assigned to the game.What I am ready to say is that if the total stays at over 45,that most football bettors believe Green Bay’s wide receivers are going to be very effective versus the Steelers’ D because Green Bay’s best shot (only shot?)of putting points on the board on February 6th is through their passing game.
