NFL Picks- Super Bowl XLV

The Super Bowl will be kicking off in the Jerrydome in a few hours and I'm going to reveal to you who I think is going to win this one.

In the Championship Sunday picks I got the AFC game right between the Steelers and the Jets and the NFC one wrong between the Packers and the Bears so I'm carrying  a 4-6 record into this one no thanks to all the upsets in the Wild Card Weekend. 

While both teams are on a roll going into this game and top the league in defense, I just feel the Steelers have the edge going into this game despite the stellar postseason play of Aaron Rogers and the fact Green Bay found a running back who has relatively fresh legs.

Rashard Mendenhall has had an equally impressive postseason run as well. .


So who is Moni picking to win it?    Sorry, Cheeseheads.   Know your favored in this one and it will a close game, but I believe the Pittsburgh Steelers will take home their seventh Vince Lombardi trophy.

We'll see if I'm correct in a few hours.

It's Pittsburgh And Green Bay At The Jerrydome

The participants in Super Bowl XLV in Arlington have been determined, and hallelujah, one of then won't be the Arlington Cowchips to Jerry Jones' disgust.

It won't be the Houston Texans either, to my disgust.

It will be the AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers (to Kat Rose and Polar's disgust) and the NFC champion Green Bay Packers (to 'errbody' in Chicago's disgust) playing in Cowboys Stadium on February 6.

The best part is Jerry Jones will be hatin' from his Jerrydome luxury box as the Steelers seek to claim their seventh Super Bowl ring.   The Packers will be seeking to take the Lombardi trophy back to Wisconsin.   

Mike Tomlin will be seeking to make more NFL and Black history as he begins the quest to become the first African-American NFL coach to win it twice.

He's already the youngest coach to win a Super Bowl and the second African-American NFL head coach to do so.  Tomlin is also one of the few coaches to have taken two teams to the Super Bowl before his 40th birthday.


And has anyone noticed how much he resembles actor Omar Epps?

Super Bowl Week starts January 30 with the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.   As for who I'm picking to win it?   I'll put that post up closer to Super Bowl weekend..
