The rabbits have left their sign. Tracks criss crossing the yard. And in this year of the rabbit who shall fortune shine down upon. I say the Green Bay Packers.
Most are predicting a close game. I say Packers 35-17. Pittsburgh does not have its starting center. This means a greater turnover potential and false start penalty likelihood.
The Packers will play excellent in the indoor field and the Steelers let themselves slip in the last two quarters of the last game. That in itself should scream a blow out against the Steelers. Its all mental.
And then there were the remarks about hitting with one's helmet. The Steelers claiming they will pay their fellow players fines. Yes Steelers, get the officials against you. In that all important turnover battle look for the Steelers to have to give one back because of a penalty on the play. And for an ejection for a helmet strike. And if their coach protests...
The weaknesses for the Packers? The play calling in any scripted situation; a game opening drive, a four minute or two minute drill everyone knows what Coach McCarthy is going to call. In the opening play of the playoff game against the Falcons I spoke to the TV, "Don't give it to Starks. Don't give it to Starks. Don't give it to Starks." They gave it to Starks and as soon as the ball was in his hands four falcons were on top of him. And with the lead under four minutes just run ,run, run, punt. And make sure you try to run around the end so the runner gets pushed out of bounds and stops the clock. It's first downs that keep the clock moving.
This is why the Madden game system has the Steelers squeezing out a victory in the final moments. But it will be over by half time.
Just my view but I have confidence in my read as I am greater than most in everything I do except where others are greater than me. We will be watching at home.
GO PACKERS!
