So it’ll be the Packers against the Steelers then!
I have a grudging respect for the Packers, who have come through late pressure and away games in the playoffs to make it. I still think they have serious flaws. Their running game has arrived on the scene but pretty late and they are clearly over reliant on passing.
I would say the Steelers are the stronger unit and that the bookmakers have got it right with Pittsburgh three point favourites on the early betting lines. I expect another Steelers superbowl win.
The one thing that will come of these playoffs is that Jay Cutler’s reputation will take a permanent knock for coming off injured. Most people wouldn’t be satisfied unless he had his ankle bone sticking through his boot. I’ll hold judgement until something is said about his injury.
