Any Superbowl Fans Out There?

Who's going to host the Superbowl party?????
I'm betting on the Seahawks... (Never been a fan of the Steelers).
We're having a family Superbowl party (annual thingy). Everyone makes something that favors a football game. I'm making the football cheese ball (too neat to eat, but for some reason everyone does!). Someone always "insists" there be alcoholic beaverages included (imagine that!) so it gets pretty wild before the 4th quarter. And then there's the football pot I'm planning to win this year..
What are you guys doing????
Hugs BD

When is Superbowl? I'm going to stay up and watch it live! It always comes during the night back here because of the time difference.

Pittsburgh by 17 (or more) ...
In fact any AFC playoff team, plus a few who didn't make it (San Diego, Kansas City, etc.) would wipe out any team in the NFC in a Superbowl title shot.
Think about Seattle's Division ... freebie wins! The rest of their schedule was almost the easiest in the whole league.
The NFC had their years, but they are long gone, anyone who can make the Superbowl coming through the AFC is going to be way too tough for any AFC team.
JMHO,

I checked: our channel MTV3 is going to broadcast Superbowl on Sunday. There will be 2 pre programmes, then the game broadcast begins at 00.50 on Monday morning.
And they are going to show the game again on Monday at 9.30-12.30. Too bad I have lectures on Monday, so it's either watch it live or miss it. So, I'll be up!

I'll be watching since I got some good numbers on the football square at work.
Steelers 7, Seahawks 4.
I should win at least one quarter.

Scott, Scott ... Scott! 
Sure you're not just upset with the Giants and are looking for an answer?
Let's see ... Pitt took out Cincy, Indy and Denver ... on the road! The "Bus" is home for most likely his last game. Steelers winning in the "air." Watch the ground Seattle! It's a setup! Oh ... they have something in the AFC ... it's called defense! Who wins Superbowls? We all know.
I'm going to keep my shirt and ExplodingEyeBall is going to make 25 cents on two Safeties!
Tell ya what ... I've got several OUCH Shirts, I'll take Pitt and bet against ya one of those shirts ... what do you have to bet against that straight up? (Straight up considering your confidence ... LOL!)
Come on now ... back it up!
Not losing a shirt here

Well I was hoping that Denver would go..But since they didnt I wont trade work shifts and I will be working during the game. Personally I hope the Seahawks win! I would really rather be hanging with these two guys than working or watching the game!

It seems like I've heard something about this "super Bowl" thingy around town lately... nothing to get people really excited here in Pittsburgh, though.

Lets See....
Regular Season -
Seattle played in a division where it's divisional opponents won just 15 of their 48 games.
Seattle played only 5 games against teams with winning records and lost two of these games.
Dallas – the only 3 / 4 defense Seattle played against held them to their lowest point total (13) of the season. They only got their final three points and won due to an interception/return of a absurd Bledsoe pass with 5 seconds left in a game that was tied 10 / 10.
Combined regular season opponent records 95 / 113.
Playoffs
Washington – 10/6 - Defensively solid - Offense virtually non-existent the entire season - Washington wouldn't even have made the playoffs if they were in the AFC. Hard to believe a truly one-dimensional team could make the playoffs even in the NFC.
Carolina 11/5 defense reasonably solid - Offense limited to a good quarterback and 1 outstanding wide receiver, subsidized by a 4th string running back. Carolina never makes the playoffs if it is in the AFC and is easy target for any reasonably good defense.
Now Seattle faces the best 3 / 4 defense in the NFL – it isn’t going to be easy for Seattle to run or pass against the most complicated/well-disguised defensive schemes they have seen and have never played against.
Offensively Pittsburgh has proven it has balance (finally). When opponents crowd the line of scrimmage and put 8 men up, the secondary gets burned or is exposed to quick passes in front of the secondary. Drop into coverage and the holes open up for a dangerous running game.
Cincinnati 11/5, Indianapolis 14/2, and Denver 13/3 all teams with very productive/ well-balanced offensive attacks and outstanding defenses were thoroughly confused and physically outplayed on both sides of the ball and these teams were familiar with the Steelers.
Good night Seattle – Pittsburgh Steelers 28; Seattle Seahawks 10.
Tom
