I find the longer you wait to make your Super Bowl prediction, the more you tend to sway to the other side.
The Cardinals are the underdog, no doubt. But when I see video of Larry Fitzgerald leaping over helpless defenders, I think, 'maybe these Birds have a chance.'
There's been a lot of talk about Kurt Warner and his experience and the league's best passing attack.
But to me, the key for the Cards is the ability to run the football. If James or Hightower gain 100 yards or more, Arizona will win. A balanced attack will force the Steelers from teeing off on those receivers.
But I don't see that happening.
Last year, New England had the greatest scoring offense in NFL history and look what happened when it ran into a tough New York Giants defense. 'Tough' is just one of about 73 adjectives you can use to describe Dick LeBeau's unit.
I originally thought Pittsburgh would win by 20 or more, but I've moved from that stance a bit.
Score: Steelers 28 Cardinals 13.
Super Bowl MVP: Santonio Holmes (I originally had Nate Washington, but Holmes' punt-returning ability made me change my mind.)
First Touchdown Scored: Willie Parker (Heath Miller is a close second)
Last Touchdown Scored: Jerheme Urban
Coin Toss: Heads
