I've already given the outcome that I saw in my dream last night - Steelers 56, Cardinals 15.

But I'll make a "real world" prediction (that will be just as inaccurate) and say - Cardinals 21, Steelers 20.

MVP: Steely McBeam, who accidentally steps on Kurt Warner's hand during pre-game warmups.

Halftime show - boring

Commercials - 2 laugh out loud funny, 3 humorous, 10 stupid beyond belief

Play-by-play and color commentary - inane and obvious, possibly also laugh out loud funny

Sideline reporter commentary - vacuous

What?

Oh.

You wanted a prediction on the score.

Never mind. :D

It could happen easily.

If the Cardinal defense plays as well as it has been, then the Steeler offense may struggle. Then, your FBB may step up his game even more to make things happen on defense. In the last Cowboys Super Bowl, the MVP was a defensive player thanks to whoever the Pittsburgh QB was throwing 2 INTs straight at him.

Dunno. But I had a dream with Leinart lifting the Lombardi Trophy. The weird thing is that I think I had the same dream last year with Jared Lorenzen...go figure...

The Steelers' QB was Neil O'Donnell, and Larry Brown was the Cowboys' DB who was the MVP. One stat I remember from that game was that Brown had more yards returning those two interceptions than Emmitt Smith had rushing.

This isn't a prediction, rather a sincere hope... Larry Fitsgerald scores 15 touchdowns and the Cardinals win 105-10....

Steelers will call heads, but it will be tails.

Take the over on the National Anthem.

Cardinals will have the first penalty (it will be a false start).

Cardinals 27
Steelers 21

The Cardinals share a common trait with the last three SB winners...lower-seed, surprise team who have been playing out of their heads since the playoffs started.

That's because I was clearly the better player....

Sorry- the Colts don't fit that description. And the Bears, despite their #1 ranking, were probably one of the worst Super Bowl entrants we've had in some time.

Neither did the Steelers fit that description, either. They were only #6 because Ben got hurt and was out for three weeks, and then Batch got hurt as well, leaving us with Tommy "I Sack Myself" Maddox in at a critical point of the season.

Really only the Giants fit that description of a team that played markedly differently than they had most of the regular season (although it helped to face "I Disappear in December/January" Tampa and Dallas in the first two rounds and "I Never Threw an INT I didn't like" Brett Favre in the NFCCG)...and they needed a miracle pass and a missed INT by Asante Samuel to pull that upset off.
