Super Bowl Preview

Super Bowl Preview E 'stato un po' di tempo since we? Ve seen the Steelers in a Super Bowl (10 years). And we? Ve never been in the big Seahawks game. Both teams have two weeks to prepare and are relatively easy victories in the championship game. This game is a neutral closed (Detroit), but everything else is the extent to which these groups was on the road this season? The Steelers play the best football in the right time of years, cycling 7-0 SU, 6-1 ATS in the last 7 games. Most impressive is that this is the No 6 seed in the AFC and win against the Bengals, Colts and Broncos? all on the road! This makes Pittsburgh 8-2 SU / ATS on the road this season! Seattle is 5-3 SU, 4-4 ATS on the road, although on average an impressive 27 ppg away from home. Edge to Steelers.Philosophically, both teams are similar. Coach Bill Cowher and Mike Holmgren are veterans, coaches? Fri, their teams before the Super Bowl. Holmgren the third time, winning and losing once with the Packers. Both coaches have their teams with a philosophy around the ball and balanced offenses. Each team has a bruising running back and a strong offensive line play.It was interesting that in recent weeks the two teams didn? T conservative game, which is their reputation. Pittsburgh has moved the ball, often against the Colts and Broncos, and threw several trick plays from the Bengals. In the past, Cowher more inclined towards the implementation of football, the critics say too much, but that hasn? T was the case in these playoffs. Don? T wonder if the two teams throwing the ball and mixing of the games. The difference this season in Pittsburgh, Cowher is likely to have a talented young quarterback, a good decision. Cowher is clear confidence in letting Big Ben Roethlisberger throw the football. It was not? T case in the past ten years, as he is, with below-average as QBS Bubby bristen and Kordell Stewart.Think back to last year? S Super Bowl, when two beautiful QBS square Donovan McNabb and Tom Brady. Brady has been quiet throughout the game, because he played in his third Super Bowl in four years. McNabb, on the other hand, is irregular, especially early on, with many receivers and pull Lollipop too many steps, one of which Rodney Harrison intercepted in the end zone for the first quarter. QBS nerves can play in their first Super Bowl with the whole world to see! The fact that the game inside is probably washing, favoring the two teams. Experience is another factor to consider. Although the team has no experience in the Super Bowl in late, I? D an advantage to Steelers. Pittsburgh was 16-2 last season and has hosted the AFC Championship Game, losing to the Patriots. This experience has contributed to this factor in post-season, especially since they played three games on the road in hostile environments, in Cincinnati, Indy and Denver. And they played smart, mistake-free football. Seattlemade the playoffs last season, but surge in the first round against the Rams. So, this year have had a head start at home, but played two games against playoff teams with more errors of Washington (lesser offense) and Carolina (too much damage to their third string back). In addition, Seattle doesn? T many great gaming experience home.Looking retu to Seattle last season won on the road to St. Louis and Tennessee. And the Seahawks lost 23-17 to Green Bay (the last game of the road), 20-17 and 26-14 in Washington to Jacksonville for the season. Note also that, Seattle? S defense allowed 21 ppg on the road, where they are 7-1 "over" the whole. Pittsburgh has the most offensive in the second half of the season and has a 5-2-1 run "over" the total of the Super Bowl. The Steelers have more experience playing indoor since Thanksgiving, what? Ve played three games in indoor, in Minnesota and two in Indianapolis, going 2-1 SU / ATS.Finally, games are often won and lost on the tuover, and in the trenches. Can I? T to predict sales, but I can remember that in the trenches, both teams were at the end of the race this season, and every place in the top 5 in the NFL. On paper it is? Saturday wash in the trenches, which can be use transactions? The difference? as the French say! Super Bowl 40 is a fun way to discuss over the next two weeks and observe. Good luck, as always ...
