My 2 defining stats for the Super Bowl

[Azrael]

Tired of hearing all the analytical drivvle and build up flying around the airwaves and tv shows? Can Hasselbeck handle the blitzes? Can the Steelers stand up to the best O-line in football (funny how that was KC until the Super Bowl)? How does the WCO matchup against the 3-4? Is Polamalu ok? What will Porter and Stevens say next?

I am. So I have just 2 simple stats for you as to why Pittsburgh should win.

1. Seahawks are 0-2 in road games against teams with winning records. The Steelers are 6-1 on the road against winning teams this year.

2. Steelers' opponents' combined regular season record was 164-140 (win pct 53.9%) while the Seahawks was 131-157 (win pct 45.8%).

That's all from me.

In 1 game especially the superbowl. You got to throw out all the stats and just let the 2 teams fight it out.

exactly

Anything can happen.

Good point Az. I agree.

Enough of all this. Stop getting all in the nitty gritty. Stick to the basics when braking down a game.


I think Pittsburgh is an easy winner simply because they are more physical then Seattle.

How about this stat:

Pittsburgh's home record against teams with winning records is 1-3. (lost to Cincinnati, Jacksonville, and New England; beat Chicago)

The opponents regular season record is actually 126-130 (.492) for the Steelers and 110-146 (.429) for the Seahawks. Your numbers included the playoffs.

How about this: The Team A vs. Team B vs. Team C theory doesn't work in the world of football, or in sports for that matter. Anything can happen tomorrow. No amount of anaylsis can predict tomorrow's outcome.

Swami Sez: 24-23 Seahawks.

My prediction....forget stats, this is something you can bank on...


The winner of this year's superbowl will have a team name that starts with a "S"....

Only took 1 post to find my exact response.

You can kind of throw that stat out the window because the Steelers aren't at home. I don't think any of these stats matter anyways in the Super Bowl.
