I'll take Seattle, straight up......
Steelers are goin down bitches.
Dowwwwn.
i cant believe the 6th seed from the afc are a 4 point favorite ... i dunno but it seems like an inflated line to me!
like yea the afc is alot stronger then the nfc but still its not like seattle was some slouch of a team this year ...
id take seattle on the moneyline @ +150!
$100 says the Steelers win it, and Jerome gets the perfect sendoff party to his hall of fame career (he'll score -- just you watch).
Steeler defence is going to swarm all over Hasselback making life difficult, and if Big Ben throws like he did in the last two games the Steel curtain will snuff out Mr.MVP and the rest of the Seahawk offence.
Look out for Troy Polamalu, Jerry Porter and Clark Haggen --- one, if not all of them will make a huge play.
3-4 Defence baby !!! --- blitz that mothafucka all day 
i'd normally go with seattle but pitt has really surprised me this year esp. after knocking off the colts and a strong broncos team at mile high which isn't an easy place to play. i'm going with pitt on the big game and much due to the credit of their coach. fucking bill cowler is crazy!! he takes his players beyond their limits. if not for him, jerome bettis wouldn't be in pitt anymore.
anyway my final prediction: pitt 21 seattle 17 (big ben mvp)
p.s. PATRIOTS are still the best!!!!

Porter irked over Seahawks tight end's remarks
PONTIAC, Mich. -- Steelers linebacker Joey Porter minded his manners and said nothing derogatory about the Seahawks during his first two days at the Super Bowl. That changed Wednesday after Seattle tight end Jerramy Stevens effectively guaranteed a victory.
Porter said Stevens' remarks were all he needed to get him going for the Super Bowl.
"I've been asleep all week but now I got woke up," Porter said Wednesday. "I've got my first taste of blood and now I'm thirsty for more. Until now, it was 'Watch what I say,' `I can't say this,' `I can't say that,' `Don't do anything silly,' but I'm ready now.
"You look for the guys that say something that aren't supposed to say nothing, and I feel like he definitely was out of pocket to say what he said," Porter said. "I'm going to make sure he owns up to those words."
Porter was agitated about Stevens' comments Tuesday regarding Steelers star Jerome Bettis' much-publicized return to his hometown of Detroit to try to win a Super Bowl in what likely is his final season.
"It's a heartwarming story and all that, but it will be a sad day when he leaves without that trophy," said Stevens, who said later he wasn't guaranteeing a victory but was only saying what he felt.
Stevens also said Porter will have a difficult time whenever he is matched up with Seahawks All-Pro tackle Walter Jones.
"He had a huge game in the AFC championship game coming off the edge on the blitz," Stevens said of Porter. "I don't think he is going to have such an easy day against Walt, though."
Porter said Stevens' remarks made it even easier to get himself ready to play in his first Super Bowl.
"He's too soft to say something like that," Porter said. "He's going to have the opportunity to back up his words. I'm going to have the opportunity to back up my words. So it's something I'm looking forward to and I'm ready to get going."
Porter also called Stevens "a first-round bust who barely made some plays this season." He also said a player of Stevens' stature "has a lot of nerve" to say what he said about Bettis.
Porter and Stevens had productive seasons. Porter had 10� sacks in the regular season and has three more in the playoffs. Stevens had 45 catches and five touchdowns during the season and has eight catches and another TD in two playoff games.
Porter's outburst was the latest in a series of strong or inflammatory comments by him during these NFL playoffs.
He riled up the Colts during the divisional round by saying they relied on tricks and wouldn't play smashmouth football, then accused the NFL officiating crew of cheating the Steelers during their 21-18 upset of the Colts. He was not fined for those remarks.
Steelers coach Bill Cowher subsequently cautioned Porter and other players about making comments that opposing teams might use for motivation. Cowher also called Porter's officiating comments "ridiculous," and Porter subsequently had little to say before Pittsburgh's 34-17 victory over Denver in the AFC championship game.
And what might Cowher think of these comments?
"I do what I have do to get myself going and he likes to see me going," Porter said. "He knows once I get going, he knows what kind of player he's going to get. That's going to make me play at a high level."
Steelers players also were cautioned before the Super Bowl about not saying anything that the Seahawks could use for motivation, but Porter didn't seem to care.
"When a guy says something who lines up in front of me on every play, I have to like that," Porter said. "He has to see me. There's no way he can hide from me. We have to meet -- over and over and over. ... I'll remind him every time I put him on his back."
Stevens found Porter's comments amusing.
"I think that will make it more exciting. That fuels the fire," Stevens said. "He's an up-tempo guy and playing that way is why football is fun."
Then, reflecting on what Porter said, he added, "He said I'll be on my back?"
Stevens flashed a smile.
"We'll see."
If his words make Stevens Public Enemy No. 1 in Steel City, there's always the support of those close to him, right?
Well, maybe.
"My fiancee is from Pittsburgh," Stevens said. "She was born there. She is on the right side, though. She knows who to cheer for.
"Her family and my family will be together at the game. I think they are going to cheer for a good game. My family will be rooting for [Seattle], but her family, they're lifelong Steelers fans, so this is a dream come true for them. I can't tell them anything about what they should do.
"I did tell them I got them the tickets," he added with a smile, "so you have to root for the Seahawks. But that's just kidding."

"We're going to try to tap out as many people as we can, I'm going to put it like that," Porter said at the Steelers players' final pre-Super Bowl news conference. "We're going to try to send as many people to the sideline as we can."
Tap out? In the Superbowl? I'd pay to see that...
That guy is a tool and he is the main reason why I will be rooting for Seahawks this Sunday.
Porter ready to send Seahawks to sideline
PONTIAC, Mich. -- Pittsburgh linebacker Joey Porter kept up his verbal barrage against the Seahawks, saying Thursday the Steelers will be so physical in the Super Bowl they will try to make Seattle quit playing.
"We're going to try to tap out as many people as we can, I'm going to put it like that," Porter said at the Steelers players' final pre-Super Bowl news conference. "We're going to try to send as many people to the sideline as we can."
Asked what he meant by "tap out," Porter patted the top of his head with his hand -- a sign that the player is tired or injured and wants to be taken out of the game.
Porter's latest comments came a day after he ripped Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens' seemingly harmless comment that Seattle planned to spoil Jerome Bettis' retirement party by winning the Super Bowl.
Stevens seemed mystified by Porter's reaction, calling it "ridiculous."
But, a day after both players sat at small tables with few people around them at Super Bowl news conferences, each was given a podium to accommodate the large crowds that wanted to hear them Thursday.
"Some people need something to be motivated. If that's what he found, that's what he found," said Stevens, normally unaccustomed to such attention. "I don't feel I was out of line. I meant what I said. I am not going to repeat it to stir something up. I meant it, and I meant it with no disrespect."
Both coaches also tried to play down any effect on the game by Porter's constant talking. Seattle coach Mike Holmgren talked to his team about not creating any more distractions.
"I used to lecture my children, too. As much as I'd like to think they're perfect, they're not," Holmgren said.
Steelers coach Bill Cowher said Porter has always been emotional and "was only being himself."
Porter said he wouldn't have said anything if Stevens hadn't talked.
"I don't want to go into a situation where you can't say how you really feel and you're acting like it's going to be a nice day," Porter said. "It's not going to be a nice day. They're trying to come out and win the same trophy I want to win and only one of us can have it.
"Now I know how they really feel, and now I can tell you know how I really feel, I don't have to hold any punches any more. If they're looking for a fight, I've been ready for a fight," Porter said.
Despite the stir, Stevens doesn't think any of the comments will affect the outcome.
"This is something I wish I didn't have to deal with but it's not that big a deal," Stevens said. "What's said right now won't have any impact on Sunday. I'm pretty close to unaffected. It doesn't have any bearing on how I'm going to approach the game."
Several other Steelers acted as if they wished Porter hadn't spoken out and possibly given the Seahawks extra motivation, especially during a week that otherwise has seen the two teams be respectful of each other.
"We had to keep him on a gag order a little bit," wide receiver Hines Ward said. "But if they start it, Joey is going to finish it. Trust me."
Steelers linebacker James Farrior laughed when he heard the "tap out" comment, saying he's never seen an NFL player ask to be taken out because the game was too rough.
"I don't know if he's going to be able to tap anybody out, this is the Super Bowl," Farrior said. "He's going to really have to play hard to tap somebody out."
The Seahawks aren't accustomed to Porter's outbursts, as the Steelers and most of the AFC teams are, and Farrior suggested that might account for the stir created by Porter's words.
Earlier in the playoffs, Porter suggested the Colts also were a soft team. Then, after the Steelers upset Indianapolis 21-18, Porter accused the game officials of "cheating" the Steelers and suggested the NFL badly wanted Peyton Manning and the Colts to win.
Cowher then stepped in and ended that talk, calling his own player's comments "ridiculous."
Farrior said it wouldn't be a big game if Porter wasn't talking.
"That's Joey," Farrior said. "If you think that was the best of him ... that was nothing. Half the time we laugh at it and think it's pretty funny. It's no big deal. We've still got to go out and play this game. It's the Super Bowl, so we don't need any extra motivation."
