SpiralTap Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I couldnt see a thread for this so I thought id see what peeps thoughts are.  Does anyone follow the NFL over here? Does anyone follow our own NFL?  Regardless, the 'Mania' of American Football is upon us again;  Sunday 6th February   AFC champions Pittsburgh Steelers VS NFC champions Green Bay Packers  Anyone got any opinions, views or predictions?  I've read that Packers are coming in as odds on favourites but yet again im gonna have to disagree with the bookies, im predicting (and betting) that Steelers will take it but by less than 10 points difference.  I really should follow the NFL more closely but with about 2000 teams and 3,000,000 games a season I just dont have that much time to devote. I dont really follow a team but if I did I would go with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers purely because im a pirate.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 28, 2011 Moderators Posted January 28, 2011 I'm with the Iron Curtain on this one.
Paid Members GlennCullen Posted January 28, 2011 Paid Members Posted January 28, 2011 I hate, HATE Ben Rothelsberger so will be fully behind Rodgers and the Packers in this one. I love the Superbowl. Get a load of people round, plenty of beers and nachos and jobs a good'un. Shame the Black Eyed twatting Peas are doing the half time show this year though...
THELONEGUNMAN Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I think this one is going to be really tight, delighted the Jets didn't make it. I can see this being a 3 point game with Green Bay missing out. They've been on a great run doing play off games even as far back as the last two regular games in the season. I thought they looked tired against the Bears and with nothing in reserve and if Chi town had a good quarterback or a decent replacement then the game could easily have gone the other way.
hbk4life Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I predicted the Steelers about a third of the way into the season, so i'm gonna stick with them now.
lava_boy Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Will be watching around a mates house, same as last year. Don't watch American football apart from the Superbowl and every year I have to be reminded of the rules. Like KJHenley said a few mates, some nachos and a few more beers it's always gonna be a good evening. I'm going with Steelers for no other reason than I think the name Packers is gay.
Paid Members BigJag Posted January 28, 2011 Paid Members Posted January 28, 2011 I'm so angry at the Bears!
bigfoote Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Gotta root for my team, Big Ben and the Steelers. Just can't see the Packers making it happen. Will be off round a workmate's place with a few of us, for brewskis, pretzels and possibly chilli dogs (If I can perfect my chilli).
SteveJames Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 As a Bears fan, I naturally want to see the Steelers prevail but its going to be a bit of a shoot out between Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers, makes for probably the best Superbowl match up since the Pats vs the Giants in 2008. The Packers D will be dominated by Clay Matthews' ability to get inside the pocket and pressure the QB, never saw a big guy move so well before.
Moderators neil Posted January 28, 2011 Moderators Posted January 28, 2011 I've got a lot of time for Rodgers and he can get the monkey off his back. Favre?
Moderators neil Posted January 28, 2011 Moderators Posted January 28, 2011 The spectre comes in the form of mobile phone picture messages.
The Four Horsemen Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 With the upmost respect to anyone who support GB, Rogers was terrible for the first half of the Championship game. As for Pittsburgh then Big Ben totally ran the game so all in all im going for the Steelers to rout the Packers.
