    Why Pitt will win XLV

    The glaring stat in the Packers 3 playoff games this year. Opposition rush attempts by running backs: Eagles(13/49yds), Falcons(13/45yds), Bears(17/70yds). As you can guess, the Packers held the T.O.P advantage in all 3 games. This will not happen against Pitt. Pitt will attempt 25 to 30 rushes from a RB and will win the time of possession battle. This is always a goal for them and certainly in this game. Look for Pitt to be very balanced with the 60 to 65 offensive plays from scrimmage. The battle to watch is Woodley vs. Bulaga. The rookie is going to have his hands full. The experience factor will benefit Pitt early on and late in the game. There are many factors to this game such as turnovers and field position but these are the keys that will impact the outcome. This will be a great game to watch!

    The longer Pitt can stay in the game, the better I like their chances. If Pitt can get a double digit lead, I seriously question GB's ability to come back. GB's only hope is to jump on Pitt early and pile it on, like they did with Atlanta. But there's a big difference between Pitt and Atlanta, namely that Pitt has proven that it can come back with a great passing attack of their own, when they need it. Not to mention that Pitt isn't going to lose focus if things get crazy, these guys have been through too many battles and they are not going to panic. I don't think GB wants Pitt hanging around in the 4Q because GB loses the close games and Pitt wins them.
