For the eighth time, the Pittsburgh Steelers are heading back to the Super Bowl, and this time they will be taking on the Green Bay Packers.  Now the Steelers only need one more victory to get to seventh heaven.When the Steelers played the Packers last season, the Steelers came away with the victory in a classic shootout winning 37-36 at Heinz Field. Though now these teams are much different, especially the cheese heads of Green Bay.Aaron Rodgers has become the new face of Green Bay under center after taking over for future Hall of Famer Brett Favre, and have made Packers fans say “Brett who?”These two teams are very similar, they both have speedy outside linebackers that can get to the quarterback, run stopping defensive lines, and tough secondary.  On offense they both use power run games, and have mobile quarterbacks. I believe the Packers are the best team in the NFC and deserve to be in the Super Bowl and this matchup against the Steelers should make for a fantastic game.  Already, though the Steelers are underdogs with the Packers favored by three points.The Steelers played two great defensive teams in these playoffs in the Baltimore Ravens and the New York Jets, and they were able to win both matchups.  The Ravens ranking number 10 in total defense and the Jets ranked number three.  The Packers are number five.The Steelers, I believe, are going to win this game but it is going to be close.  This game is going to come down to the quarterback play from both sides, and the quarterback with the most experience like Big Ben Roethlisberger will win the game. Ben, with two Super Bowl championships in his career and Rodgers, who has never been this far in the playoffs, will show his experience in this game.  I give Ben the advantage because he is a bigger and he is a lot harder to try and take down. In the past, Rodgers has been sacked in record high numbers.  It just so happens that the Steelers rank number one in total sacks this season.   I believe in this offense because this is an offense that has made the big plays all season when they need to, especially in the playoffs.This team was not even predicted by many people to make the playoffs and now they are in the Super Bowl.  I expect that the Steelers will raise their seventh Lombardi Trophy in front of 110, 000 waiving Terrible Towels in Dallas. Your time is up in the penalty box, you can head back on the ice.
