Super Bowl XLV Pick
To me this should be an epic Super Bowl. Two truly balanced teams. One with a great defense and an underrated offense. The other with a great offense and an underrated defense.
.
The difference will be at the quarterback position. While Aaron Rodgers may have more talent, Big Ben just has a knack for rising to the occasion in big spots.
.
My pick is for the Steelers to take home their seventh Super Bowl trophy.
