Why Pittsburgh Will Win Its Sixth Super Bowl

The Pittsburgh Steelers play the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII.

You are looking at the picture of why the Steelers will win this game.

Defense!  The Steelers have the most complete defense that the league has seen in quite some time.

No. 1 in the league in pass defense and No. 2 in rushing defense.

Arizona will not be able to run the ball at all. Period.

The pass defense will be more than Kurt Warner can deal with.  While the blitz has been very effective, the pass coverage will be the key and has been extremely good.  Plus, the excellent athletes in the secondary will be defending the wide receivers.

I know Larry Fitzgerald will not run all over the field without being covered rather well.

Anquan Boldin is not 100 percent and will not be a huge factor.  In fact, he may be more of a distraction to his team at this point. He will not be a Cardinal next season.

Tim Hightower and Edgerrin James are replaying the Willis McGahee hit over and over in their brain.

Meanwhile, the defense of Arizona will have its hands full with the bruising running of Willie Parker, who will break off some big rushes in a ball-control offense designed to keep Warner's hands off the ball for much of this game.

Big Ben Roethlisberger will have a very good game, doing what he has to do to win this game. Take the Steelers, give the seven points, and enjoy the best team this season in professional football—the Pittsburgh Steelers.

On Super Bowl Sunday, the dream ends for the Arizona Cardinal fans.

It was a nice run, while it lasted.

I seldom get this game wrong!
