Superbowl Predictions by the Pros
One of the great things about sports is that there are always opinions. In fact, the sports media is pretty much comprised of opinions, regardless of whether or not the reporter is a "columnist." If a person is covering a team long enough, they will have opinions and will share them with their readers more frequently than they might want.
With that said, who in their right mind would have thought that the Steelers and the Packers would be facing off in this year's Superbowl?
The Steelers were starting the season with a suspended Ben Roethlisberger and the Packers weren't even in the playoff picture mid-way through the season. It goes to show you the parity that is the NFL.
Regardless of how they got there, here are some of the predictions and snippets from the media:
Over at the Boston Globe, Bob Ryan and Chadd Finn debate as to whether or not the Steelers and the Packers are the best teams in the NFL this year.
One article over at the BleacherReport says that while the Steelers are strong, the Packers are hitting their stride and seem to be riding a wave of passion-inspired football and predict a Cheese-head win. Another writer picks the Steelers, however.
The Wall Street Journal threw out the "who will win question" to their readers and thus far, the Packers seem to be the pick.
Even Vegas is picking the Pack.
