Green Bay Packers - Super Bowl Champions


Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers on their 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.  This is their 4th Super Bowl Championship (Super Bowl I, Super Bowl II, Super Bowl XXXI, Super Bowl XLV) and their 13th overall league championship (1929, 1930, 1931, 1936, 1939, 1944, 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1996, 2010).

Super Bowl XLV - Green Bay vs. Pittsburgh

Super Bowl XLV is less then 24 hours away and I am starting to get excited!  Now it would be better if my Raiders (no jokes please!) were playing in the big game but they are at home with the 29 other teams who didn't make it either.  So it is the NFC's Green Bay Packers (10-6-0) versus the AFC's Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4-0).  The Packers got to the Super Bowl with wins against the Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons and Chicago Bears while the Steelers had a bye week in the Wild Card round and followed that up with wins against Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets.  What I am equally excited about is the Super Bowl commercials which for the last four years I had to watch after the actual game because AFN (Armed Forces Network) does not allow regular commercials.  

MY PREDICTION:  Green Bay 21, Pittsburgh 20
