The Super Bowl

Hurray! It is almost Super Bowl Sunday. In a couple of days one team will earn the title of being the best football team on earth. This year, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers will fight for the Lombardi Trophy and that coveted title. As your marvelous sports guru, I have dug deep within my mind and determined my Super Bowl Perdiction.
This game will be close. Both of these teams have fantastic defenses. The Steeler defense, led by Troy Palumalu, is (not surprisingly) very strong this year, but the Packers defense is also quite good this year. The defenses seems almost evenly matched. Therefore, the deciding factor comes down to the offense.
Both offenses are outstanding, but I have to give my edge and Super Bowl victory to the Pittsburgh Steelers. One of the most important factors in the Super Bowl is experience. Obviously, this is not the most important factor (just asked Peyton Manning and the Colts how well experienced worked against the Saints), but most of the time, it does have an important impact.A first-time Super Bowl player will show signs of his inexperience. The Super Bowl is a whole new atmosphere, unlike anything he has ever experienced. The seasoned Super Bowl veteran will, however, perform much better. Since he has been there before, the atmosphere is not near as intimidating allowing him to perform at a higher level. The Steelers, in paticular QB Ben Roethlisberger, have far more Super Bowl experience. There nerves will be lower, and they will go to work on the Packers. Riding their experience I give the Steelers a 42-10
