Super Bowl Sunday, the Sports News this weekend

Allsports article on the Super Bowl between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Who does allsports like and why. It should be a great game anyway.







Here is an excerpt.



First off the betting line on the game still has the Packers favored by 2.5 points with the over / under set at 44.5 points. Seems the odds makers are looking for the two great defenses to do their jobs and allsports can’t argue with that.







The two main reasons why allsports is picking the Green Bay Packers are that he likes Aaron Rogers as a quarterback, he thinks the game well and does not panic under pressure. A good student of the game who see's the field well and can think on his feet to decipher what defensive alignments are going to do. With that allsports thinks the receiving corps of the Packers is about the best in the league and should get open for Rogers. Personally I like that the Packers are community owned too which makes allsports want to root for them. But that being said the Packers still have to execute and do the things that they have to prevent the Steelers from doing. Its a simple game really, run the ball so the passing game opens up and keep the defense off balance and on the field. It is more tiring to play defense than offense for the simple reason that it takes more energy to react than to act. Either way you look at it, or what team you are rooting for? It should be a hell of a game with two very worthy opponents.
