Steelers slightly favored to roll past Packers in Super Bowl

Previews Comments Off
The Pittsburgh Steelers has been picked by experts to rule the Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers in the current National Football League season.
The number two seed Steelers (14-4) is the favorite in this NFL championship game since they have a better record compared to the sixth seeded Packers (13-6).
A successful NFL franchise, the Steelers aims to get its seventh Vince Lombardi trophy when they face the very determined Packers on Sunday night.
Lead by controversial quarterback Ben Roethlisberger the Steelers had a great season this year as the marched towards the biggest stage NFL.
After having accused in March of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old college student – the second time since 2008 he faced assault allegations, Roethlisberger was suspended for four games at the start of this season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
Despite the accusation and suspension, Roethlisberger still gave his 101 percent effort and carried his team to victories against some of top NFL teams to reach the Super Bowl.
To keep their NFL postseason winning streak alive, Roethlisberger once again needs to produce solid numbers to his team to bring home the bacon to the Steelers fans.
NFL defensive player of the year Steelers safety Troy Polamalu also needs to continue with his great defensive effort to bring victory to the Steelers over the Packers.
The key for the Steelers in this game is to allow Roethlisberger to do his thing being a seven-year NFL veteran.
Having won two-Super Bowl rings, Roethlisberger must use his experience to topple the Packers and its young quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The Packers for its part can hurdle their tough task and beat the Steelers if Rodgers can continue his huge NFL postseason plays.
Rodgers is a big revelation for the Packers this season as he overcome odds to lead his team to victories over the NFL teams expected to beat them in the playoffs.
The Packers quarterback has showed the world in the playoffs that he is ready to carry the Packers on his back away from the shadows of former Packers quarterback NFL great Brett Favre.
The key for the Packers in this game is to once again get solid contributions from Rodgers who faces a tough opponent in Roethlisberger.
If Rodgers can hold his ground against the Roethlisberger there is a big chance the Packers can pull and upset and beat the favored Steelers.
Packers linebacker Clay Matthews also needs to continually play big for his team to get the Super Bowl crown this year.
The rest of the Packers players also need to give their A-game to topple the favored Steelers in their NFL championship match-up.

Steelers, Ravens gets going on Sunday night

Previews Comments Off
TWO of the top teams in the National Football League will clash on Sunday evening in the ongoing NFL season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will visit the Baltimore Ravens in search of their ninth win in the current NFL season.
Holding a similar 8-3 win-loss record, a win in their game will do wonder to any of the two as they hope to land a seat in the forthcoming NFL playoffs.
The game between the two is hard to predict since they always plays hard, in five of the last six meetings between Pittsburgh and Baltimore have been decided by four points or fewer, and the one that wasn’t
the Steelers’ 23-14 win in the supremely hard-hitting AFC championship game Jan. 18, 2009 was a two-point game until Troy Polamalu’s late interception return for a touchdown.
In the recent game between the Steelers and Ravens, the Ravens beat the former 17-14 at Heinz Field on Oct. 3.
Coming into the game, the Steelers is the slight favorite to win their game due to the presence of its superstar quarterback Ben Roethlisberger who was not able to play in the last meeting between his team and the Ravens due to suspension.
Roethlisberger has missed four games against Baltimore due to injury or suspension since entering the league, and the Steelers have lost all four. With him starting, they’re 7-2.
If Roethlisberger can produce great numbers against the Ravens chances of victory of his team is higher.
To win the game for the Steelers, Roethlisberger need to assert himself by scoring and passing for his team.
The Ravens for its part could avoid defeat if they can sustain and limit the performance of Roethlisberger in their game.
Aside from imposing tough defense on the Steelers particularly on Roethlisberger, Ravens reliable quarterback Joe Flacco also needs to play big for his team.
The Ravens third-year quarterback threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns in a 17-10 win its eighth straight at home.
In six games since Oct. 17, Flacco has 13 TDs, two interceptions and a 111.6 passer rating — the league’s second-best in that stretch.
The key for the Ravens in winning is to make sure Flacco will not be outplayed by Roethlisberger and they can limit their visitor from scoring big in their game.

Previews Comments Off
The Pittsburgh Steelers hopes to win its sixth game in the current National Football League season when they visit the hapless Cincinnati Bengals on November 8.
Coming off a 10-20 loss to the defending NFL champion New Orleans Saints, the Steelers are eager for a victory to get back into the winning track as they face the Bengals Monday night.
Leading the Steelers in the game is superstar quarterback Ben Roethlisberger who is out to give his team another victory and improve their 5-2 win-loss record.
Having a superior record than the Bengals (2-5), the Steelers are favored to win their game against the home-team, who themselves are desperately seeking for a victory to improve its chances in the 2010 NFL season.
To gain victory on the road against the Bengals, the Steelers need to impose its vaunted tough defense against the Bengals.
Roethlisberger must also continue to play hard for his team to ensure the Bengals could not upset the Steelers.
The Steelers under coach Mike Tomlin has every ingredient to win against the Bengals if they play with heart and avoid complacency against the home-team.
The underdog Bengals for its part could upset the visitor if quarterback Carson Palmer will have an A-gem against the Steelers.
In the recent losses of the Bengals, the seven-year veteran had been struggling big-time as he has only 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
To bring back the winning attitude, Palmer need to connect with the Bengals top wide receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco.
The star quarterback of the Bengals needs to exert more effort to make his team play as a team and give joy to the franchise and their countless fans by defeating the Steelers on Monday night.
