Oddsmakers made the Cardinals a seven-point underdog to the Steelers.
Steeler D that ranks up there with the best ever. 3 & out most of the day for Cards O. Parker 120 yds, Fitz 60. Steeler's 30-10.

idk i think kurt warner can pull it off. Boldin is having a great year and the way Fitzgerald played last week.. idk it's gonna be a good game. Still say the giants should be there :(

The hype surrounding the cards will no doubt displace their focus necessary to win a worldwide viewed event. By the end of the first half, warner's crew will get it but will then find realization that there is no answer to the Steeler D. Frustration will be all over warner's otherwise "calm", "show the rest of the team all is good" face. It will remind us of the famous spoiled brat look of the manning's when thing's don't go their way.

this game is a mirror image of the 2000 giants ravens game... and i believe that the score will be about the same.... The defense is going to be fast.... The Secondary no one understands that it is hard to have the number 1 rushing and number 1 passing team.... But we have it and we did it against the colts, chargers, cowboys, its not like the steelers had the regular season teams that the cardinals beat, they havn't played anyone until the made the playoffs and all of those teams overlooked them.... Not the steelers its no secret what the cardinals are going to do and the steelers will stop them.

Calling Fitz the most dominant player is just flat-out wrong. With just decent line play, Ben is the most dominate player in this game. And Pittsburgh line is SOOOOO different than it was in Sept.
No, this won't be a blow-out and I don't know why this reporter or anyone else is saying it is. Since when is 7 points a blow-out? But the last 9-7 team to make it was beaten by the Steelers and this one will be to. Arizona almost blew a 18 point lead. And Pittsburgh's defense is way better than the Eagles.

The teams are well matched. The Cards are a talented football team to make it this far. I believe experience and 'mistakes' will make or break this game either way and the Steelers have the experience! HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO!!!!

...absolute & total CARDINALS fan....should be a great game.....Warner can handle the blitz packages that the Stelers will send.....however, got to watch the massive Pitt D line....a huge factor.....however-----don't count out the long range pass from KW, esp to Fitz.....NO BLOW-OUT---Cards win 33-29.....

Kenny Whiz KNOWS what the Steelers will do on defense. He KNOWS how to create the match ups for his ALL PRO receivers and TE's to get open. I KNOW for a fact that the Cards O-Line WILL show up for this game and everyone will be SURPRISED the protection Warner will have to play catch with Fitz and Boldin. The Cards defense is NOTHING to sneeze at..... Just ask the Eagles. Cards win 28 Steelers 17.

Fans are talking about Coach Whis knowing the Steelers offense very well, but I have not seen any comments on how well Coach LeBeau knows the Whis offense. Game will be close.

this will be the Cards game to win.. with the running and short passing game going at the same time.. and a veteran QB not Flacco or Rivers' one man show.. this will be different. the passing will be going short screens to Arrington or Edge with short passes to Boldin, Breaston and Fitz plus jump balls to Fitz. Hey it is a different ball game.
Plus the Defense will challenge rottenberg to go deep in deep coverage... and Hines is not 100% so this team may see limited time on the field if the Cards can can 5 to 6 minutes on each drive and score a td or fg.
Last year the hatroits were suppose to win big.. yet they lost and the Bills were suppose to beat the Boys and lost twice... upsets has happen and this will be too. Unless the yellow flags start flying for mystery fouls like with the Seahawks. Old School cheating is the rooney rule.. and yes everybody knows a they are the stealers... for that reason...

The Steelers have a great defense but Warner to Fitzgerald will happen early and more than once. Mr. James is going to run for over 100 yards and the Cardinals will upset the Steelers 28 - 17. The Cardinal defense is on a roll and they will shut down the Steelers' offense enough to complete the upset. There has been upsets in the last couple of Super Bowls and this is another one coming!!

Don't ever count the Cards out. The Steelers think they deserve to win and will come in with an "ownership" attitude. The Cards will come in knowing no one expects them to win and they have to prove themselves once more. Cards 34 to 21. It will be one of the best games in recent Super Bowl History. Don't miss it. GO CARDS

We haven't had many Super Bowl blowouts this decade. Colts-Bears, Bucs-Ravens, Ravens-Giants. Wonder if that bodes well for the Cardinals.
