Super Bowl 45 will be the scene where the Pittsburgh Steelers go after their 7th Super Bowl Title. Their opponent; the storied Green Bay Packers. Most experts out there are leaning towards the Green Bay Packers after they easily put aside the Atlanta Falcons and then squeaked by a Chicago Bears team, who went with their 3rd string quarterback in the second half. QB, Aaron Rodgers is on fire, but he has yet to face a defence like the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers defence has done it all year long. Week after week they give their team a chance to win and often get the win themselves. With the exception of their game against the New England Patriots, the Steelers have basically shut the door on all opponents and I don’t see things changing this weekend.
The Steelers team doesn’t seem to get the respect they deserve, which sits just fine with the Steelers brass. Ben Roethlisberger is a proven winner and wants this 3rd title more than anything in hopes of giving back to the fan base. I truly believe the Steelers defence can hold Rodgers in check long enough for the offence to put up some points. The receiving core of the Steelers is coming into their own. All the talk is about the Packers offence but be ready for the like of Antonio Brown or Emmanuel Sanders to make a difference in this game.
Pro-Bowl rookie Maurkice Pouncey continue to not practice due to a high ankle sprain, however he is still vowing to play. Pouncey makes the Steelers a better team, but there is confidence in Doug Legursky if he has to fill in for the phenom rookie.
Undoubtedly Rodgers will put up points, but I believe the Steelers defence will do what they’ve done all year and be the difference. Ben Roethlisberger and the offence want to be known as great. Prediction: Steelers 17 Packers 14.

Just a heads up. The Steelers have been to the Super Bowl 7 times. They’ve won 6. They’ll be going for their 7th Super Bowl title.

That will teach me to do 20 things at one time. Terrible oversight on my part, thanks for the catch.
How could I overlook the “Stairway to 7″ ?

Look at it in another way you have found the limit at how many things you can do at one time. Stop at 19 and you will be good.

Steelers win, better running game with a more reliable RB and far more exp in SB.
