Jay's Super Predictions

It's that time again isn't it?  Everyone pulls out their crystal ball, and makes their annual Super Bowl predictions.  I've never been one to make Super Bowl predictions.  Mainly, since I'm an Eagles fan, so I never have anything invested in the game. So I'm more interested in what Super Bowl party I will be attending, what type of food and beverages will be provided, and what talent will also be attending said party.

This year in particular, leaves me genuinely disinterested because of who is playing. So my main concern is that my boxes come up quarterly at Ray's Happy Birthday Bar (in beautiful South Philly).

I don't like the Packers. I like Aaron Rogers as a player, but I can't get over how much I loathe Brett Favre (aside his Jimmy Swaggert "I have sinned" speech, when he came clean about his addiction to pills). 

On the flip side, I really hate the Steelers.  Any team with a fan base with bigger a-holes than the Red Sox, deserves no love.  The only thing that amuses me about them is Big Ben not being able to keep it in his pants (forcibly or not).

Anyway, enough of my ill feelings and on to predictions:

- Whoever receives the ball first, will score on the first drive of the game.

- At the Super Bowl party I'm attending this year (at Ray's Bar) I will quarterly make a rape comment about 'Ole Ben, and proceed to call a Steeler fan an a-hole.

- At some point one of the Steeler fans I call an a-hole will threaten me with bodily harm.

-  If I see anyone with one of those stupid cheese head hats on, I will laugh in their face.

- I will consider wearing a black Falcons Michael Vick jersey to said party.  This will piss at least one dog lover off and they will tell me about it.

- None of my boxes will hit anytime in the game.

- I will make a case for the return of Bud Bowl.

-  I will drink too much and have a suicidal headache Monday morning.

- Beyond my stupidity, I do think this will be a good game. Although they were the Sixth seed in the NFC, the Packers proved they belong here. Rogers has come into his own and is the best quarterback in the NFC.  He can get out of his own way and has some of the best offensive weapons at his disposal (Grant Jennings anyone?). 

Pittsburgh again has one of the league’s best defenses. The lost Wild Samoan Brother in the secondary is the best in the game, and guys like Parker and Farrior can put a serious hurting on an opposing offense.

The biggest difference I see between these two teams is Pittsburgh doesn't have the offensive weapons that Green Bay has.  While the Packer D isn't what the Steelers have, they can still hold their own and have played well this post season. So I think it might come down to the offensive edge, even should it be a low scoring game. 

- Rogers will be going to Disney World, 24-17 Packers.
