Everyone talks about how Seattle has played an easy schedule and that Pitt is way more "battle tested." Am I missing something??? Didn't Pitt just beat a Cincy team without their starting QB, an Indy team that did not play a meaningful game for the last two months, and a Denver team that got manhandled by New England but had the benefit of some timely turnovers and bad calls just to escape that game.

And why is everyone down on Seattle's playoff wins. Redskins were one of the hottest teams coming in to the playoffs and Seattle ran through them without Alexander and then manhandled Carolina. Yeah, I know Carolina was beat up , but that game was not even close.

think Indy rest/rust factor is irrelivant, look at Philly last yr, they held starters out even longer than colts and were fine.


Wash was hot team, but they prob shouldnt even still been playing. they had worst offensive yds of a team that won a playoff game ever.

I stand corrected, meant to say this. This is also the first time that a low seed (less than #3) has opened as a favorite against a #1 seed.

actually think I messed up too, think Balt was #4 seed

Well it's certainly the first time a #6 seed has advanced, never mind being favored in a Super Bowl. A lot of seeds to plant for sure. lol

justinfischer.......

Seattle hardly "ran through" the redskins......it was a very close game all the way and without the 3rd and long Max Strong run the redskins would have had the ball and a chance to tie the game with about 4 minutes left..........good close game........

Didn't Seattle play the game without their MVP? They still won by 10 right? Just checking....

THE GAME HAS TO BE CLOSE because they have to sell beer and spots on tv and keep all the fannys in their chairs till the end of the game... the refs will keep it close.....z

..

this is only 2nd time ever the #1 offense and defense meet in the super bowl (total yds). the 1st time the #1 D (TB) beat #1 O (Oak).

all time records in super bowls of:
-#1 offense are 7-5 su (all the losers were #1 seeds)

-#1 defenses are 7-3 su (1 loss was in strike season and other 2 losses were before the merger and vs #2 rank D)

"Didn't Seattle play the game without their MVP? They still won by 10 right? Just checking...."


You could technically have a game that ends with a point difference of higher than 10 .......and it could still be a close game.....

Maybe if you watched the Seattle vs Redskins game..... you would also have noticed that Seattle hardley "ran through" the Skins.........

Just cause they won by 10 has nothing to do with it.......if fact if Moss doesnt drop the last pass then Seattle would have won by 3.........

So much for taking it easy. I've had a good year in FB (albeit better in NCAA) so WTF. I almost changed my mind and went Pitt (as I did last year from Philly +7 to NE -7) but I'm sticking with my original choice come Hell or high water.
