Official Club Polk Superbowl XL Prediction Thread

[RuSsMaN]

Got some hot sports opinions on XL? Lay them out here.

I like BOTH teams. I really hope to see Pittsburg pull it out. Will they? This game boils down to Pitt's ability to harass Hasselbeck into bad throws, and to nullify Alexander. My take is they'll be able to do neither. I do think it will be down to the last 2 minutes, and an entertaining game to watch.

Seattle 20, Pittsburg 17

I am with you RuSs, I don't think Pitt is going to be able to stop Alexander, which will open up the passing game. However, this is only if Seattle can somehow take Troy Palomano out of "his" game.

My prediction is:

Seattle 34, Pittsburgh 27

[Shizelbs]

Agreed.

As for all the media out there saying that Seattle does not deserve to be in the SB, that they're not worthy, I have yet to hear a convincing, truly convincing reasonable argument as to why. Sure their division was weak, and they played a banged up Carolina, but the fact is, they beat Washington, they dominated Carolina (sorry Siddy), and they won 13 games during the regular season, while weathering their own injuries, against professional quality teams. Too much is being made of the noise at Qwest field too. It helps, but all stadiums are loud. Deal with it.

It will be a very good SB. I pray the Seahawks win, if for nothing else so that the East Coast biased media can get on their collective knees and suck it.

looks like polamalu "tweaked" his ankle...
i wonder how much this will effect the pass rush, as this seems to be the major focus for both teams
still...

Wow, a surprising group of Seattle votes here, considering the national conensus seems to be about 60/40 for Pitt.

I'm hoping for Seattle to win (mostly because I have a thing against Pittsburgh fans on the whole, and I'm sick, oh so sick, of Jerome Bettis), but I don't know if they can do it. Wish I had a prediction, but I'm still on the fence.

[Demiurge]

31 - 24 Seattle

[Shizelbs]

Hey, did you hear Bettis is from Detroit? :)

[Demiurge]

Really? What a great story. I wish to learn more about it.

[dragon1952]

Seattle 27 Pittsburgh 24

[DAGLJAM6]

Seattle- 27
Pittsburgh- 13

[jdhdiggs]

Feels like GB-Denver with Pitt being GB. I like the Hawks-34-27

[Early B.]

Both teams are great. Don't have a favorite.

[TroyD]

I've got a keg of Miller Light and 4 bushels of oysters lined up for Sunday.....who cares about the game?

Pittsburgh. 28-21

I've got a keg of Miller Light ....BDT

It's Miller LITE dumbass.

[shack]

I don't like either team. It's better to see the commercials the next day on the internet. NO WAY I'm watching the Stones at halftime....(instead of a wardrobe malfunction we have a better chance of seeing a couple strokes and/or a heart attack). They're practically having to make up stuff to create "controversy" so they have something to talk about.

Well....if the game gets boring (as they usually do) or I decide I really don't care anymore (good chance), at least the original "Gone In 60 Seconds" is showing on the Speed Channel...if not for that it would be reruns of "Beauty and the Geek".

[Strong Bad]

Hey, did you hear Bettis is from Detroit? :)

And I'm from Baltimore! Nobody gives a **** about that either.

Seahawks 24 - Pitt 17

Eh, it all tastes the same.

[ohskigod]

I predict this will be a really good game. no blowouts. down to the wire, with Pitt coming out on top.

Pitt 23
Sea 20

I put the odds very high thatthis game will go into overtime.

[VR3]

I hope its a tie... and its just voided...

I dont like either team.

But I hope Pittsburgh kicks the Seahawks in the jaw.

[Demiurge]

Well they sure tamed the Pussy Cats 2 weeks ago, must have been the fishy smell they were attracted to.

I'd like to see either team win this, but I still stand with Seattle.

[Shizelbs]

Sid, you should root for the 'hawks. Then at least you could say that the Panthers were finally and only beaten by the Superbowl Champs. Thats how I always pick the team I root for once my Seattle team is out of it.

[Ron-P]

I predict that Disneyland will be quite empty that day and that is where I will be.

[VR3]

I would... but I want 6th seed to really win to be honest...

[schwarcw]

Two very good teams. I'm from Pittsburgh so you know my favorite. Same old cliches: the team that can avoid mistakes will win. No blowout here, it could go either way. Steelers 28-17.

[nadams]

Somebody'll win, somebody'll lose, and the commercials will suck. I don't think I'm watching this year...

[danger boy]

ummmm. Seattle 24 Pitts 20 that's all i'm gonna say.

[hoosier21]

I predict I will get drunk, eat too much, not watch a lot of the game, and won't know who won in the morning.

Old school Cowboy fan, CAN NOT be for Pittsburgh (even if the the head coach is an ex-cowboy coach) I could not tell you a single player on the Seattle, but that is who I have to choose from. Does that mean I have to do that reverse hands on the head wing thing, eff it I will even if that isn't the Seahawks thing.

Sea 17
Pitts 13

In a totally boring game, maybe a tit will pop out and save the day.

**** I got a head start on the pre game tonight.

[janmike]

Pittsburgh- 24
Seattle - 20

[Shizelbs]

1)I believe you
2)Its called 'the sprinker' and its soooo last year
3)Thats obvious

[danger boy]

I predict that RuSs will get drunk. how do you like them odds? :D





OK, tell me how much this bites the big one. I'm on call this weekend. AND we're not allowed to drink alcohol, at all.




Follow up question. Why do people riot when their team wins? I can understand cheering and yelling and letting loose, but riots? Turning over cars, starting fires, seems like the wrong way to celebrate to me.
