Image via Wikipedia The Super Bowl is probably America’s favorite event of the year. I treat it like a holiday and I think others do as well. Two weeks of anticipation comes down to an hour of game play. Two teams play for bragging rights, the Lombardi Trophy, and their coveted rings. Commentators have been predicting who would be in the game and who would win it for the last 6 months. Why should I be any different?I believe that the Green Bay Packers will win Super Bowl XLV. The key matchup that I think the packers can and need to exploit is their receivers against the Steelers secondary. Neither team is going to be able to run the ball very effectively so the passing game is going to decide the game. The packers have a better secondary overall and Charles Woodsen is the equalizer to Troy Polamalu. If Aaron Rodgers can protect the ball and keep Polamalu from making a notable impact on the game then I feel the Packer receivers can make enough plays against the Steelers’ corners to win the game.
I see the game going much like the NFC Championship game. Green Bay will be able to take advantage of some quick hitting plays and score first. The Steelers will settle in and slow the offensive attack for the Packers down. The Steelers will be able to score a few times during the game but not with any consistency. Green Bay matches scores with the Steelers after the open one or 2 scores and eventually wins the game. The Packers will win by either 7 or 10 points.
