GB -3 Vs. Pitt
 
Discuss

GB did everything in their power to keep Chi close. Pitt is far better than Chi but it won't matter at the end. Pack by 2 scores.

I think the Packers win and cover. Too many receivers for the steelers to cover. They outplayed Pitt last year at Heinz field and Pitt was lucky to win.

I very rarely have a strong NFL opinion but I think GB is wildly overrated.

You would think that all season long it seemed that the AFC was the much better conference and now you have the #2 seed from there being a 3 point dog to a team that needed to win it's last 2 games just to get into the playoffs. Seems a little strange.

I guess they figure that GB is better suited to an inside game on a fast field. But I wasn't really impressed with them today.

We will see in 2 weeks. You believe the AFC is superior to the NFC. I just don't buy that they are that much better. Chicago's defense was very good. Yesterday wasn't the pack best game. The jets made it a game in the 2nd half with Sanchise. Rodgers can't tear up that secondary. 5 straight elimination games for the pack and they got it done on the road and at home. Are the dolphins coming to dallas for the experience they will never get?

Well they dont have the experience of getting to the SB every 14 years but they do have the experience of beating the Pack earlier this year.

Maybe Bob and Wiphan can go halves on this SB suite

Packers have edge! If pouncey can't play the steelers lose their center and that line has been beaten up all year. Pack played the bears for the 3rd time and the bears have played the pack good all 3 times. The key was the quarterback play of cutler! He takes himself out in the big game! That hanie kid looked good! I think the best play might be the under! Both teams have great d's. Pack 20-17!

Not a Steelers fan here, but Rapelisberger is 10-2 in the playoffs in his career. I don't care what the matchups are, there's no chance the Packers win by two scores.

It actually opened as Steelers -1, but the money all came in on Gb and they had to keep moving the line.

That is simply not correct. If one casino opened it at that I wouldn't be shocked but the big wigs offshore, aka BetCris and Las Vegas consultants were pretty clear on GB favored at 2.5 pushing 3.
