The Big Game
I heard this morning 75% of Americans say they’re planning on watching the Superbowl tomorrow night. That’s impressive. I’m not sure whether to be excited about the Superbowl or depressed it signifies the end of yet another football season.
Jett said last weekend. “I can’t believe we have football for like 6 months and then all of the sudden it’s just over. Why do they do that to us Dad? It’s just not fair. Can’t they play year around?”
His statement brought a tear to my eye. My little boy is becoming a man.
So who do you think is going to win the “big game”? Leave your predicition, along with the score, in the comments and I’ll declare the winner of the first annual “Without Wax Superbowl Prediction Contest” on Sunday night.
My Prediction: Cardinals 27- Steelers 20
82 Comments:
Cardinals 26. Steelers 7
(I have no idea, I’m just doing “THe Price IS RIGHT” thing where one contestant, who is also clueless, just gives a number really close to the guy before her.)

According to the men of my house…they are going against Kurt Warner which is killing us all…but for the sake of a score, they are telling me Steelers 28 Cardinals 14. We will all be watching the game!

I would like to have seen the Panther’s go to the Super Bowl but since they will not be there I will be pulling for the Cardinals. However I believe the Steelers will win by 10. The score Cardinals 17 Steelers 27…enjoy the game!

@Noel, I’m not sure that’s a good idea. I wore a TN jersey once when I was pastoring in KY. Didn’t go over so well.

I’m picking the Browns (hey, what can I say – I’m a die-hard).
Seriously though, I would love to see Arizona get their first win…BUT I don’t see Pittsburgh’s defense letting them so I’m going with the AFC North and saying Pittsburgh will win their record 6th Superbowl.

Of course they would go to the big game the same year I move away from AZ. 29 years… no big game… i leave… big game.

Cardinals 24 Steelers 14 – Wish it would have been the Carolina Panthers, but they messed up really, really bad. Therefore I’m picking based on who has the prettiest helmets. It’s a not-so-secret method that I use.

Mainly because I don’t want the Steelers to have more SB wins than the Cowboys, but I do really like Kurt Warner and he deserves a second ring!!!!
GO CARDS!!!!
And I so agree with Jett, it’s just not fair – although my hubs and children can’t wait for the end of football so “We get our Mom back!!!”

My problem is that I’ve rooted for the Cardinals AND the Steelers all season, but didn’t expect them to both make it… now it’s like choosing between friends. But hometown boy Kurt gets my loyalty every time.
And I’m with Jett… the weekends just aren’t as fun anymore… I like basketball, but it’s basically just a placeholder until football is back.

If it’s not the Browns playing, than I must at least cheer for anyone playing against Pittsburgh. Regardless of my cheering though, I gotta say Pittsburgh wins. 27-13. Wonder how many people will be at the 6 o clock service?

There was a time when I’d be sure to be in church on Super Bowl Sunday night. That’s because I figured if Jesus wanted to take home a bride without spot or wrinkle, a bride that’s devoted to Him without reservation, not about to two-time on him with something else, then He’d do the Rapture thing during the Super Bowl.

I am so not a Steelers fan, but I say it will be Steelers over the Cardinals 17=10. That said, I am a female and I LOVE football. I nearly go into mourning when the college season ends, but after the superbowl it’s pathetic. (I also am married and have sons) I am not into the NBA and I would rather watch paint dry than watch baseball on tv, so until the Summer X games and then football again, I am forced to watch Nascar.

The game is on Warner’s shoulders. He plays well, they win. He plays bad, they lose.
