There are a few teams that are shining bright right now. But there are 4 teams that are sitting atop of the 30 teams right now. The Lakers, Celtics, Magic, and the Cavaliers. Who are all more than 20 games above .500. These teams practically already have playoff berths. There are also some teams that are playing better than expected. Like the Denver Nuggets. Who were predicted not to make the playoffs this year. Ever since they traded Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups. The Nuggets have been 29-13. The Pistons have not been so well since they got Allen Iverson. I personally think that the Pistons haven't found that chemistry together yet. The Atlanta Hawls are also a big surprise in the NBA. They too were no predicted to make the playoffs. Well, they are looking like a playoff team right now as they sit at the number 4 spot in the west. And the Miami Heat. They were supposed to do ok this season. But they are playing better than ok as they are the number 5 team in the East. Some disappointments are the Pistons which I already talked about. The Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors who were to be playing like title contenders but are playing like they want a early draft pick in next years draft. The Washington Wizards are probably the biggest dissappointment right now as they are dead last in the NBA with the worst record of 9-36. Here are a look at the divisions right now.

Super Bowl Sunday 6:30 P.M.
It is that time again in the NFL season where it all comes down to who is the truly the best in the NFL. As the surprising Arizona Cardinals are going to take on the defensive powerhouse Pittsburgh Steelers. The Super Bowl is going to take place in Tampa, Florida.
This is the biggest stage in Sports overall. This is the first time the Arizona Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl. The last time they had a championship was 61 years ago. No one thought that the Arizona Cardinals were going to be where they are now. They only finished two games above .500 putting up a 9-7 record during the season. Most people thought they wouldn't be that much of a threat in the NFL playoffs as they went 3-7 against opponents not in their divison. They have had to go through tough teams before getting to the Super Bowl. It all started in Wild Card weekend. They hosted the Atlanta Falcons and defeated them by a score of 30-24. Then they traveled to Carolina to pull off probably the biggest upset in the playoffs as they defeated Carolina Panthers in a blowout 33-13. Then they went back to Arizona to host the improved Philadelphia Eagles. At halftime it looked like the game was over as the Cardinals headed to their locker room up 24-6. Then the Eagles made an amazing comeback and made 19 consecutive points as the score was Eagles 25, Cardinals 24. Then, Kurt Warner connected with Tim Hightower for a 8 yard touchdown pass. The cardinals scored on their 2 point conversion putting them up 32-25. The Eagles failed to convert on 4th down to seal the win for the Cardinals crowning them their first ever NFC title.
Thing were a lot easier for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they headed into the Playoffs as the number 2 seed posting up a 12-4 record during the season. Their first matchup was against the San Diego Chargers who before defeated the Indianapolis Colts in a overtime thriller 23-17. At half time the Steelers were beating the Chargers 14-10. In the second half the Steelers pulled away defeating the Chargers 35-24. Then the no.6 seed Baltimore Ravens came into Pittsburgh ready to play and get a berth in the super bowl. Both teams played a great defensive game. At halftime the Steelers were beating the Ravens 13-7. The game ended on a interception return for TD by Safety Troy Polamalu which made the the game Steelers 23, Ravens 14. Securing a berth in the Super Bowl for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
My Prediction
I think that the Pittsburgh Steelers will Defeat the Arizona Cardinals 28-24
