Superbowl Predictions- Pittsburgh vs. Green Bay

Who are you picking?
We have the experienced Pittsburgh Steelers who always put together a solid team and have had plenty of post season success.
Then we have Green Bay who havent really done shit since Brett Favre won them a Superbowl.
Enough about the past, let's talk the future...
BREAKDOWN
Offense QB's- About even, but with the type of year Rodgers has had, I give GB the advantage at QB RB's- GB has been sacked with injuries at the RB spot and now rely on 2nd and 3rd stringers. Pitt's Mendenhall has probably been the most consistent RB in the league this year. Advantage Pittsburgh. WR's- GB has maybe the most talented group of WR's in the league TE- If Finley was healthy, GB would have this owned hands down. Since he is down, I call it even. Offensive Line- Pittsburgh desperately needs their Probowl, rookie Center to be healthy, without him, Pittsburgh's O-line is in trouble. Regardless, I give GB a slight advantage here as well.
Offense score- 3 points GB, 1 point Pitt, 1 point split.
Defense D-Line- Pittsburgh. One of the best D-lines in the league LB's- Although GB's linebackers are underrated, you still cant deny what Pittsburgh has. Advantage Pittsburgh CB's- Here I give the advantage to GB. It's close, but I think GB is deeper and overall better in man coverage (not to mention Pittsburgh's best WR might be Mike Wallace. FS/SS- Pittsburgh again. Troy might be the best defensive player the league has seen in a long time. Always in the right spot at the right time.
Defensive score- 1 point GB, 3 points Pittsburgh
Kicking Pittsburgh has the unstable Shuan Suisham, who has screwed several teams with his inconsistency. This year HOWEVER he has had it dialed in and has kicked an incredible 14 for 15, but 0 FG from 50+
Green Bay goes with Mason Crpsby. A guy who is reliable, 22 for 28 with 4 coming from 50+ yards
Despite Suisham's comeback year, he could be what costs Pitt a Superbowl. I give Crosby the advantage
-----------------------
To the final prediction; I think Green Bay's offense is going to be too much for even Pittsburgh's defense to stop. I pick GB to win by 3. Suisham will have the chance to tie the game and send it to OT on a 45+ yard FG and he will push it wide right.
GB wins by 3, 27-24.

Actually, I was thinking of Dave Matthews Band.

Id say my breakdown was pretty spot on. 31-25. GB.

Suisham is a bum. Always folds under any kind of pressure
