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

  1. GOOOOO STEELERS! Yes yes yes I love the Steelers man! I believe your right I like that score 28-24 but I think the Arizona cardinals hill throw a hail Mary at the end for WR Larry Fitzgerald and its gunna be picked off by Safety Troy Polamalu! That’s what I think! Ha-ha!

  2. I think that the Cardinals are going to defeat the Steelers in this year's SuperBowl because their offense is very talented and I believe it will surpass the Steelers' defense. Magic sucks!! The Heat are the best.
