what i don get is how the steelers can be considered the favorites, like even the vegas odds r in the steelers favor. Yes they've won ther last 7, yes its bettis's last year and its in his home town, sure they got through the colts and broncos, but the #1 seed on one side should never be considered the underdog compared to the last seed on the other side.
And so wut the steelers hav won 7 in a row, if ther so good, they should hav never had to come down to winning ther last 4 games to make the playoffs, and not to mention the seahawks hav won 13 of ther last 14, and ther one lost, they wer playing mostly backups. They also had to go against the Colts, although they werent starting all ther starts, it doesnt matter, the colts arnt that big of a deal, they've looked very weak since ther loss to san diego. And the whole bettis thing, who cares? Yes hes a great player, who had a great career, and yes it would a great ending to his career winning the bowl in his hometown, but does that rilly hav ne factor on the game? R the players gunna try harder on pittsburgh jus cuz of bettis? No, bettis or not, ther gunna put everything they can into it. Bettis might try harder, but bettis isnt a gamebreaker, hes jus a solid player and does wut hes asked to do (cept hold onto the ball with a minute left wen ur down by 3 lol) I dont understand how the steelers could be favored, the seahawks r IMO the best team in the league, they hav the best O-Line, possibly ever, that should be able to easily pick up the steelers blitzes, which leaves Polamalu on his own, as he is ther only strong DB. With steelers defence rapped up all day, they'll hav to rely on ther, 2nd year quaterback, ther inconsistent RBs, and the rest of ther offense, to beat the probably 8th overall defense in the league, i jus don see it happenin
