I just thought I would get this into writing before kickoff here in a few hours. Let me briefly state my qualifications for making this pick: I have watched, perhaps combined, a single NFL game this year if you add up all of the fractions of games I have watched. I detest Ben Roethlisberger, but not because of all of the new stuff that has come to light. I don't follow it too closely, but he seems like an all-around scumbag. Not that this has made me like him anymore, but the reason I detest him is that his senior year at Miami of Ohio he single-handedly dismantled the CSU Rams while I sat in the crowd with my chest painted green and gold like an idiot. I don't like Troy Polamalu, and let's face it, you don't either, you just like his hair. If I had to choose between visiting Pittsburgh or visiting Green Bay I would choose to visit Green Bay because at least there people talk funny. Jordy Nelson, wide receiver for the Packers, is a K-State grad so I always wish good things for him. Aaron Rodgers seems like a class act, and the anti-Ben. Brett Favre's fall from grace (finally) would be sealed nicely with a Packers Super Bowl championship in the year of his public meltdown. He, Tiger Woods, and Ben should all hang out sometime.
So, with all of those qualifications stated up front, I am predicting a Steelers win. This just isn't my year for sports. Steelers 24, Packers 17.
