I'm failing to understand why a victory by the Cardinals would be an "upset," which is what everyone is calling it. They've played pretty damn well the past three weeks. who cares what they did in the regular season, it's all about the present when you get to the playoffs/SB, as the Giants proved last year, and others in recent years (ie: Pittsburgh's most recent SB victory). Most prognosticators are actually picking the Cardinals to win, yet everyone's still saying it will be an "upset" if they can pull it off.
The Cards have a great offense, a big game QB that handles the blitz well (neutralizing some of what makes the Steelers great), the best WR 1-2 punch in the game. Their defense isn't great but the Steelers don't pile points on the board. ohh and what's that? the head coach for the Cardinals knows the opposing team like the back of his hand as he used to be on their staff, so he'll have some tricks up his sleeve.
I'm picking the Cardinals, but it's really a toss-up for me. Either way I'm just hoping for a good game.
