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 Steelers in this game is to get solid numbers from both Big Ben and Brown to defeat the Jets.

The 6-foot-5, 241-pound Roethlisberger also needs to use his bigger frame to overpower and outplay rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez to beat the Jets.

All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu must also elevate his game into another level to bring victory to the Steelers against the Jets.

According to the latest NFL data, the Steelers are 31-8 with Polamalu in the lineup since 2008 and 6-7 without him.

The visiting Jets for its part can continue its upset run if it can once again get solid contributions from rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Sanchez is 4-1 on the road in the postseason, and his playoff passer rating is 92.2 – 22.0 higher than in the regular season.

If Sanchez can play solid and not be dominated by Big Ben there is a huge chance for the Jets to beat the Steelers.

Ryan said his team is very determined to defeat the Colts and avenge their early defeat last year against the Colts.

He said losing a playoff game is very painful and they are very determined to let the Colts experience it this year.

To defeat the Colts, Jets star quarterback Mark Sanchez must once again produce a solid game for the visitor.

Sanchez who completed 17 of 30 passes for 257 yards with two touchdowns and one interception against the Colts in the playoffs last season must keep his good performance against the Colts this year.

The key for the Jets is to have a solid game from Sanchez and keep Manning from dominating their game.

Taking the NFC West title will not be a walk in the park for the Rams since they hasn’t won the NFC West since 2003 and hasn’t reached the postseason since an 8-8 finish in 2004.

Despite the tough task, the Rams are still confident of their chances against the Seahawks.

To defeat the home-team Seahawks, Rams rookie quarterback Sam Bradford must produce another solid game for his team.

Bradford, the 2010 number one draft pick is having a solid rookie season and is very instrumental in the average success of the Rams this year.

The rookie quarterback has completed an NFL rookie-record 335 passes, and he broke Peyton Manning’s 12-year-old mark while throwing for 292 yards and a touchdown last week.

Through the strong effort of Bradford’s help, the Rams have scored 283 points after posting a league-low 175 in 2009.

Bradford, who is 22 attempts shy of breaking another Manning rookie record, had 289 yards and two TDs as the Rams snapped a 10-game slide to Seattle with a 20-3 win Oct. 3.

If Bradford and the rest of the Rams will have a solid game there is no reason they will lose against the Seahawks.

The chance of victory might not be strong on their side; the Seahawks can still pull a surprise if they will give their A-game on Sunday night.

To beat the Saints, Falcons star quarterback Matt Ryan must continue to play superb for his team.

Ryan must execute great plays for his team and not allow Saints superstar quarterback Drew Brees to outplay him in their match-up.

In six home games this season, Ryan has thrown for 1,545 yards with 12 touchdowns and three interceptions.

The key for Falcons victory is superb offence and tough defense against the very determined and dangerous Saints team.

The Saints for its part who is seeking to enter the NFL playoffs this year can defeat the favored Falcons if Brees will continue to play big for his team.

The road towards an NFL playoff is quite a challenge for the Saints since to earn a wild-card berth, the team needs to just one of its last two games.

As the top man for the Saints the past few years, Brees has proven himself as a reliable clutch player for his team in the NFL.

Now that the season of the Saints is at stake, Brees must assert himself in the game to bring victory to his team against the Falcons.

Manning who is very instrumental in the Giants success this year, need to play 101 percent to bring victory to the Giants over the Packers.

Aside from Manning, his teammates should also do their roles well to ensure the Packers cannot beat them.

The odds of winning are on the side of the Giants all they have to do is to use it well by playing their hearts out against the Packers.

The home-team Packers for their part can defeat the Giants if star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is back from injury, will have a superb game come game-time.

Rodgers threw for 11 touchdowns and no interceptions in a four-game span prior to suffering the concussion Dec. 12, when he failed to slide on a run and was hit hard in a 7-3 loss at Detroit.

Beating the Giants is a tough task but Rodgers and the rest of the Packers could do it if they play collectively as a team in terms of offence and defense.

To beat the Giants the Packers needs to put a handcuff to Manning so that the latter could not beat them with handsome plays in their game.

Teams: Green Bay Packers, New York Giants

The Bears aims to get their 10th win and capture the NFL North title this year in their all important game against the Vikings.

Holding a 9-4 record, the Bears are the favorites to win their game against the Vikings who holds a woeful 5-8 record this year.

The Bears is fully focused to win their game for them to have the chance to enter the playoffs this year.

Taking charge for the Bears in their game against the Vikings is star quarterback Jay Cutler who is having a banner year this year like his team.

If Cutler can once again produce a brilliant game against the Vikings chances of victory is very possible for the team.

The home-team Vikings for their part might have a tough game without Favre, but they can still pull a surprise if third string quarterback Joe Webb can produce a huge game against the Bears.

Webb, a sixth-round pick from UAB, becomes the third third-string quarterback the Bears will face this season after wins over Miami and Detroit.

The young back-up quarterback is the key for success for the Vikings, if he can produce scoring and passing in the game an upset against the Bears is not remote for the team.

Their chances for an NFL playoff spot might be over but the Vikings remain focused on beating the Bears to act as spoiler and end their NFL year with a bang.

Teams: Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings

Coming into the game the Patriots are the huge favorites to win their game due to their 11-2 record compared to the 8-5 of the visiting Packers.

The Patriots are picked to the win since the Packers will be playing without its leader superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers who is down with an injury.

The home-team Patriots are very determined to defeat the Packers so that they will have the chance to clinch the AFC East title and a first-round bye in the forthcoming NFL playoffs.

Leading the charge for the Patriots in this game is its leader for many years, superstar quarterback Tom Brady who is playing superb in the 2010 NFL season.

Playing in-front of its home-fans is also a big-advantage for the Patriots since the team has won 15 consecutive regular-season home games since losing to Pittsburgh on Nov. 30, 2008.

The success of the Patriots this year had been attributed to the strong plays of Brady, who aims to extend his NFL record of 26 consecutive regular-season home wins by a quarterback, may be playing the best ball of his career.

He has thrown 19 touchdown passes with no interceptions in his last eight games.

Brady has now gone 268 consecutive pass attempts without an interception – 40 shy of Bernie Kosar’s all-time record streak bridging the 1990-91 seasons.

Brady’s production has improved since the Patriots traded wide receiver Randy Moss in October, replacing him with Deion Branch a favorite target from earlier in Brady’s career.

Branch and fellow receiver Wes Welker each caught eight passes despite frigid, snowy conditions in last Sunday’s 36-7 victory at Chicago.

Professional football experts said if Brady and his team can execute their game-plan well and will give their 101 effort against the undermanned Packers victory can surely be theirs.

To avoid an upset, Brady as always should the lead for the Patriots by creating plays, passing and scoring for the home-team.

Playing against the Patriots without its main man will be very tough for the Packers, who hope to strengthen its bid for an NFL wildcard against the home-team.

Despite the odds, the Packers can still upset the Patriots if the team’s back-up quarterback third-year backup Matt Flynn, who went 15 of 26 for 177 yards and an interception in relief last week, can play great in his first career start in Rodgers’ place.

If Flynn can produce good numbers against the Patriots chances of victory against the Patriots is not remote for the Packers.

To defeat the Patriots, the Packers need to score and play huge in defense and do its best to limit the performance of Brady.

In order to upset the Patriots, Flynn should not allow Brady to dominate him by orchestrating the right plays for his team.

Teams: Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots

Despite the failure of the Cowboys to live up to its billing as contender for the NFL crown this year, the Cowboys hopes to end their year with a winning season.

To defeat the Philadelphia Eagles, Cowboys star quarterback Jon Kitna must take the lead chores in scoring and passing for his team.

The Dallas Cowboys must also do its best to play tough defense to stop the Eagles from scoring big in their game.

The Philadelphia Eagles for its part can avoid defeat if superstar quarterback Michael Vick can once again produce huge numbers for his team.

Vick had been a revelation for his team this year as he carry his team to a lofty NFL record this year.

After heading into this season with a career completion percentage of 53.7, Vick has completed 63.8 percent of his passes in 2010.

His NFC-best 105.7 passer rating is exactly 30 points higher than what he put up in his last full season as a starter in 2006.

If Vick and his teammates can score big and escape the defense of the Cowboys there is no reason they will not win against the Cowboys.
