Super Bowl XLV

It is finally Super Bowl Sunday! Today I make my pick and give you some other things to think about.

Special Teams

Special Teams is very important to every game. In many cases it is the reason a team wins. I think that the Packers and the Steelers both have good units. The Packers have the edge in punting. Tim Masthay is on a roll, just look at his game against the Bears. He took Devin Hester out of the game! In the kicking game, the Steelers have an advantage. Shaun Suisham has a way better percentage and has a few more years of experience. Punt Returning is going to the Packers.  Tramon Williams has a good average and has almost broken a few. The Kick Returning has to go to the Steelers. Antonio Brown returned a kick for a touchdown the first time he touched the football. He is a definite X-Factor for this game!

The score is now:

Packers(7) Steelers(6)

Before I make my pick, there is one thing I would like to break down.

That is the Terrible Towel VS the Cheese Head! Both are very good fan props and both have great origins. The Cheese Head started from the name that Cubs fans gave Brewers fans. The Packers embraced the term and made hats. Myron Cope started the Terrible Towel as a hook for fans to come to the game. Now they have many different versions of it and the proceeds go to local Pittsburgh schools. As cool as the Towel is, the cheese head takes the cake! (Cheese Cake you might say). It is by far the most recognizable prop in football and I love it!

To the pick! This was hard, but this is what I’ve got!

Packers 31 Steelers 24
