All right folks I can't honestly say I'm really happy with the way the season has gone but we are rolling in the playoffs and hope to keep it going through the big game. Got some thoughts on today's game here goes:
Green Bay -3.5 Gotta roll with Aaron Rodgers here over Jay Cutler. Both teams have great defenses but I just think Rodgers is much more composed and fundamentally sound than Jay "my arm is better than John Elway" Cutler. Another factor I like is that some of the veterans on Green Bay like Jennings and Woodson remember losing to the Giants in the NFC Championship and if you have heard these guys talk about that game they said they thought they had no chance of losing. So I think they come in here today with the right attitude and I just think Rodgers is almost unstoppable at this point. I expected this line to be more like a pick 'em or even -3 in favor of Chicago for home field, but seeing it at 3.5 in favor of Green Bay to me is just begging for Chicago action...I'll take arguably the hottest team in football right now.
Steelers -3.5 Let's be honest folks beating the Colts and even the Patriots is just not that impressive. Sure NE finished the season strong but nobody can tell me that they have a championship caliber defense. Sure the Jets are a solid team but the Steelers have been here many times before and I just can't help but roll with Big Ben over Marky Mark Sanchez in the playoffs. Both QB's are facing very good defenses and I just can't say that I think Sanchez is going to fare well today. Throw in the fact that its nearly impossible to run on Pitt and I just don't think that Sanchez can win this game if that's what it comes down to. Give me the Steelers in this one.
