SB: PIT -6.5 vs ARI

Congrats to the Cards and the Steelers for making it to the Super Bowl.

Early SB game update posted.

Cards jumped out early to a big lead in their game vs PHI only to fall behind, then come back, go ahead and hold on to win the game. This seems like a common MO for the Cards.

Steelers made enough plays (and missed some big ones) to move the ball and score some points in the first half. The defense shutdown Flacco and the BAL offense, but the injury to Ward hurt the Steelers passing game and offense. In the end, the PIT defense, made the plays, kept the pressure on Flacco and came up with the final score to put the game away.

As far as an early prediction, I think the Steelers will win a close one. The Cards will jump out early to a lead, but the Steelers will run the ball and play defense to come back and go ahead. However, in the end, the Cards will try to fight back, but will fall short against the #1 defense in the league and the Steelers will hold on for the SB win.

Good Luck!
