Super Bowl - Steelers vs. Packers

Post by stlouie_lipp »

Packers installed as the favorite and the early money is going on them.

Can my Steelers win a 7th Super Bowl or will the Pack win the trophy named after their legendary coach?

I'm kind of surprised the Packers are favorites. I bet the line ends up close to even by game time.

Huge Packers fan so, by default, I assume the opposition will win. I think experience in this situation from the quarterback position might be the difference.

I'll be watching with a Wisconsin beer in one hand and a bratwurst in the other. Maybe some fried cheese curds on the coffee table.

Like Richie, assuming the Steelers will win #7 and hoping that I'm wrong.

I am shocked to see the Packers installed as early favorites.

Excellent matchup of two blue collar professions--steelworkers vs. meat packers. I believe the Cowboys are the only other NFL team named after a job title.

Good sign for the economy, I think.

Do the Buccaneers count? They're illegitimate, but it's a living.

Same with the Vikings.

Don't think that's hard work? Well you just try a little plundering, mister, and
see how you feel the next day.
49ers could also qualify, considering they're named after a group of people who dug for gold.

Chiefs

Texans (for some, being Texan is a full-time job).
