If they can establish a short passing game and open up the run in the first quarter the Pack should win it. So I am sticking with my NFC Central and the Packers.
I JUST WON!! I JUST WON!!!
You know why? It's because the Steelers win SuperBowls, thats what they do. They've never lost one they've been to yet and they aren't losing today. The Bears completely shut the Pack down in the second half last week and I expect the Steelers to do it for 3 quarters today. Defense wins championships and the Steelers defense is just plain better. They've been there, they've done that, and they're gonna do it again
GO STEELERS!
Parting Shot. Once again you prove you are a BIG time "know it all" analyst. Time to eat Crow.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Hell will freeze over before you see that, but one thing that jumped out to me was the desparity in penalties. Seemed like everyone of Pittburghs drives were ended by bad calls, and take it from a guy that played 6 years and coached 7 winning 2 Carnation Bowls- that was not a personal foul on that last kickoff to the Steelers, that kind of hand fighting occurs on every single play. Take the bad calls and the 3 turnovers away and the Steelers win by 18. The better team lost this time.
Furthermore, I was beating Viking by like 10 wins halfway through this contest and suddenly he was like 1 win behind? I was meaning to go back and check out how he could have possibly done that, but I never got around to it. I'll find the time tonight though, so mods don't pay Viking until my audit is done. I'm officially notify'ing you here in writing that i am protesting his win.
Once again: I'm officially notify'ing 285bound.com in writing that I am protesting his win. I'm going through line histories and some of Vikings mid season picks..
