Pittsburgh Steelers V. Arizona Cardinals

I dare anyone to tell me that they had Arizona going to the super bowl because I know I didnt! Well, when I first saw this matchup I was thinking this good be a great game but, I then remembered that its been a while since we've had a blow out in the super bowl (thankfully). I hope its not going to be another one of those but, with Arizona not having very many players that have been in the super bowl (only 5 players have played in the big game) compared to the Steelers who have a bunch more. Then again, I said they were done after they beat Atlanta in the playoffs......maybe they'll make me eat some crow again? The key with this Arizona team is gonna be there defense. I mean I never saw this team play as well as they have in the postseason. When they played my beloved Buffalo Bills the defense with a blitzing machine. Then they took out our quaterback and then it was game over from that point on. Speaking of my Bills I always enjoy the week leading up to the super bowl because I get to see old super bowls and watch Scott Norwood just missing the game winning super bowl and hearing how foolish Thurman Thomas is by losing his helmet before the game. The only thing good super bowl moment that us Bills fans have is Don Beebe striping the ball away from Leon Lett as he tried to hot dog it into the endzone in super bowl XXVII.

So here's my pick:

Pittsburgh 20 - Arizona 14

Arizona is gonna give it a great effort but when it comes down to it you cant beat experience and the steelers have tons of it. I'm rooting for Arizona but just dont know if they are gonna be able to get it done.

Please leave comments and tell me your picks!

P.S. The commercials should be pretty good this year!

Championship Edition

Here we are! The Final Four of the National Football League. In the AFC we got the battle of the top 2 defenses, Baltimore and Pittsburgh and over in the NFC we have what I call "Bird Bowl I" Philly and Arizona. Let me begin by saying that I went 2-2 during the playoff weekend and I was very nervous if I was gonna go 0-4. Both of Saturday's games I lost but, "came back" with an 2-0 Sunday so.....yeah for me??? That bring's me to a record of 5-3 this postseason so all and all thats not too bad I guess.

OK, now let's get into why you clicked on my blog. Who's gonna win? Well, I think I'm taking Pittsburgh in the AFC and here's why. Baltimore has 4 starters on defense that are banged up and are listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Does that mean that Pittsburgh is gonna score all day on them....yeah it will. The 4 starters that I mention are more than likely to play then not doesnt mean that they will be at 100%. When your not feeling good and you dont feel like going to work but you do anyway and why? Because, you take pride in your work and you would rather win the account before Henderson down the hall steals it and wins salesman of the year right? Of course! Plus, I also like at which quaterback would I rather have? Big Ben or Joe Flacco? In this game I'm going with Big Ben....he's been here before he knows how to win and Flacco just has to NOT screw it up!

So.....in the AFC Jay's picking - Pittsburgh

In the NFC its the "Bird Bowl I" I'm just gonna come out and say it...even though I'm rooting the opposite way. Philly will win. The Eagles remind me of the New York "Football" Giants of last year. They snucked thier way into the playoffs and had to face 3 road games to get to the super bowl. This is the Eagles 3rd playoff road game. McNabb is playing like a man on a mission and wont be stopped, Philly's defense is channeling Mike Ditka's '85 Chicago Bears and even though Brian Westbrook is hurt he doesnt want to get off the field. Arizona is a very nice story and its about time they've gotten as far as they have. Larry Fitzgerald is playing the best football of his career and could put up monster numbers again agaisnt philly's defense but, I dont think Arizona will be able to run the ball effectively agaisnt philly's front four.

I'm rooting for Arizona but I'm picking Philly!

Jay's pick for Super Bowl 43......Pittsburgh vs. Philly (should be a good superbowl)

Please let me your comments!!!

Wildcard Weekend

Hey everyone! Sorry for not updating the blog sooner. My job has been a real pain in the butt lately and havent had time to sit down and type a bit. So, happy 2009 to everyone! I'm sure its gonna be a great year for sports (at least I hope so). Last weekend we had our first matchups to determine who's gonna be playing in this years superbowl. Although I didnt post it on here I went 3-1 this weekend. (Yeah for me I win NOTHING!!!) If Indy would of stopped 5'6" Darren Sproles I would of went a perfect 4-0. Which is a rare......very rare! Anyways, here's my picks for this weekends matchups. Before I make them tho. I would like to say I may change them later in the week so please check back if you wanna see how I did.

Arizona vs. Carolina - Carolina

Baltimore vs. Tennessee - Tennessee (but not by much)

San Diego vs. Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh

Philly vs. New York Giants - Philly

Again, I might change my picks so please check back. I'll have these locked in by friday afternoon.
