OK.

I know you've been waiting for this, so here comes my Super Bowl pick.

I actually think, despite the 7-point spread, this game will be a lot closer than the 'experts' might think. The Steelers are ... well, the Steelers. They have a punishing defense and an offense that finds a way to get a big score even if it's not the most efficient group in the NFL.

Ben Roethlisberger certainly isn't pretty, but he gets the job done. And with Troy Polamalu and James Harrison, Pittsburgh's offense doesn;t have to do a whole lot to get the win.

The Cardinals are -- pardon the pun -- flying high these days. Kurt Warner is as efficient as he's been spectacular at times this season and if there was a better all-around receiver than Larry Fitzgerald in these playoff I'd certainly like to know who it is.

The Arizona defense has been maligned a bit during the regular season, but it certainly has found itself in the postseason. And they have this certain intangible you just can't put your finger on right now.

That said, I still think the Steelers will have just a little too much for them.

STEELERS 21, CARDINALS 17
