Although at first glance the Super Bowl seemed to be no contest with the Pittsburgh Steelers defense smothering Kurt Warner and his high powered offense, but that may not be the case.
Of course when Super Bowl weekend approaches every year the media is like a pack of starving wild dogs looking for some meat, well, besides Hines Ward's controversial monster hits during the regular season and Anquan Boldin's spat on the sideline with the offensive coordinator in the NFC championship game the media has found no dirt on either of these teams.
With no real story lines this time around and just two great teams going at it, the Super Bowl will be less of a show and more of just another football game between these two NFL heavyweights.
The spread, as of right now, is only -6.5 in favor of the Steelers. You ask me that could be a blessing in disguise.
Logically the Steelers will win the game and will probably do it on the defensive side of the football. Stopping Kurt Warner this post season has been no easy task, but if any defense were to contain him it is the Steelers lead by James Harrison and Troy Polamalu.
The safe bet in my opinion is taking the Cardinals. With an offense like theirs and a quarterback who doesn't get rattled are panic in a blitzing situation Arizona might be able to do the impossible and get the best of the Steel Curtain like defense of Pittsburgh.
