The second seeded Pittsburgh Steelers are slightly favored to win the Super Bowl crown over sixth seeded Green Bay Packers in their National Football League championship game on Sunday.
The Steelers (14-4) are picked to win their game due to their superior record compared to the Packers (13-6).
The Steelers have a huge year this year due to the strong plays of its superstar quarterback Ben Roethlisberger who overcame early personal setbacks to tow his team to their Super Bowl stint.
It can be recalled that Roethlisberger was accused in March of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old college student – the second time since 2008 he faced assault allegations.
Due to the accusation Roethlisberger was suspended for four games at the start of this season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
Returning from his suspension, Roethlisberger gave his 101 effort to bring the Steelers to victories against the rest of the NFL teams until they reach the Super Bowl crown.
A seven-year NFL veteran, the Steelers superstar quarterback also known as Big Ben already have two Super Bowl rings and a strong play on Sunday could give him his third and the seventh Super Bowl for the Steelers in its colorful history.
To win their NFL championship match-up, Big Ben needs to play big and outplay his younger counterpart Packers superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers come game-time.
NFL defensive player of the year Steelers safety Troy Polamalu also needs to produce an A-game in defense to topple the Packers.
The key for the favored Steelers in this game is to give their 101 percent effort come game-time to defeat the Packers.
The underdog Packers for its part can steal the thunder in this game and produce an upset if Rodgers can once again produce a solid game for his team come game-time.
A big revelation for the Packers all season long, Rodgers needs to further increase his intensity and battle Big Ben toe to toe to bring home the bacon to the Packers.
The odds of winning might not be on their side but the Packers can still pull the trick of winning if Rodgers can have a great game against the Steelers.
The key for the Packers in this game is also to get a solid game from linebacker Clay Matthews who must anchor the solid defense of the team against the Steelers.
Teams: Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers
