It's that time of the year, Super Bowl time! I must admit that I have no idea about this Super Bowl, I didn't follow either team all year. Being a fantasy football fanatic, I could have took Shawn Alexander with my 3rd overall pick, but instead I took Peyton Manning. Following Manning and the Colts, as many people did, I was sorely disappointed with their lose to some team named the Steelers. If I had taken the Seahawks RB, Shawn Alexander, I would have followed them more, watching my running back score TD after TD.
The problem I see now is this, a 6th seed being favored in the Super Bowl over the #1 seed NFC Seahawks?! How can this be, because the Steelers beat up on everyone to get to the Super Bowl? Carson Palmer doesn't go out of the game and the Steelers still beat the Bengals? The Colts decide to actually block someone and the Steelers still beat the Colts?
This brings us to the Broncos, who I cant stand. I grew up a Chiefs fan and find the Steelers win over the Broncos, normal. Jake the Snake was due for a "blow up" and I would have taken any team over the Broncos at that stage in the playoffs.
The Steelers are on an amazing run, beating a 3 seed, then a 1 seed and then a 2 seed. Can they now again, beat a #1 seed?
Though here in lies my problem, the Seahawks. They scored the most points in the NFL this year, second in total offense (behind my Chiefs). They have an average DEF (17th ranked), the MVP RB in S. Alexander and a QB that is due for success. BUT... they played twice this year, the Rams, Cards and 49ers!
Who? The Rams, Cards and 49ers, who have a combined record of 15-33.
I'm taking the Seahawks +4. I'm really not sure I know who is going to win. I want the Steelers to win, nice story and I don't really like the Seahawks, old AFC rival.
My prediction: Seahawks 24 - Steelers 27.
Super Bowl XL - Jan. 5, 2006.
