I'll be waving my terrible towel this saturday...

[Squawker24]

I think Seattle will shake things up and actually win.

i think it all comes down to the battle of the LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

Steelers are great at bringing the blitz from many different sides.

The Seahawks have one of the best (if not THE BEST) O-LINE in the NFL and one helluva RB that takes advantage of it.

The QB matchup is pretty good and the same goes w/ WRs.

i think the seahawks will play better than most expect. but i still call it a STEELERS victory (by single digits).

[shock]

squawker24 im confused, you posted the line but the poll question is who will win. I think pittsburgh will win but i would take seattle and the points.

also, i believe the over/under on this game is 47. take the under.

agree, they get no respect because they aren't the "emotional favorite" but htey have a damned good team and are probably a lot more balanced than the steelers.

I posted the line for betting purposes only, the poll is just who will win.

exactly, take the under

Seattle don't get any respect because they're a bad franchise.

A season of beating purely mediocre teams doesn't change that. I have no problems with Hasselbeck... But they have an average core of WR's and what would Alexander be without Walter Jones and Steven Hutchenson.

I'm going for Pittsburgh.

[Squawker24]

I'm hoping for a good game, an Instant Classic!

I'd like to see Seattle take it, but I'm putting my money on the Burgh. To me they're just the more impressive team all the way around, and they are hotter than hell right now. They beat three of the toughest teams in the league on the road in order to make it to Detroit, and I just read where the 6 AFC playoff teams had a 20-4 record against the NFC this season, while the 6 NFC playoff teams went 9-11 against the AFC.

And coupled with Seattle's extremely weak schedule, and their somewhat lame and entirely gassed playoff opponents- it's impossible to tell how good they actually are.

So I am feeling very, very strongly that Pittsburgh's gonna win this.

WOW. That was a great pass by Randalel.
