Which team will win Super Bowl XLIII?

And why?

There seems to be a problem with your poll. You're implying that the Cardinals will be playing in the Superbowl, which is quite clearly impossible. I'd suggest you fix that before anybody gets the wrong idea.

I'm hoping that the Cardinals win. The Steelers have already won 5 Superbowls and the Cardinals have never won one.

Oh ye Arizonian of little faith.

Chuck Norris will win the super bowl. All by himself.

The logical pick is the Steelers, who have played far better than the Cardinals throughout the regular season and the playoffs. Arizona, based on any rational analysis of the regular season, should have lost every playoff game they played; Pittsburgh should have won (though the Baltimore game should have been close, going their way mostly due to home field advantage).

I mean, I guess it's possible Arizona will make it four straight upsets. The Giants did last year. But that's no reason to start predicting it will happen.

I choose Anheuser-Busch... Bud & Bud Light get 3 out of the top 5 commercials.

What?!? I'm supposed to watch that stuff in between commercials?! That's just crazy talk!

Is the question who will win (as in who should win) or is it who would I like to see win? There was some question about that last year IIRC.

Like last year, I'm going with the latter - Cards baby! If for nothing else but how they proved the sports media wrong this post season!

I voted Cardinals.

Cinderella story aside, I think their offense is peaking at the right time, and their defense has suddenly shown a serious spine.

Pittsburgh, OTOH, has a powerful defense. However, my intuition is that the Steelers get an "extra player" in the form of the nasty late-season weather, and unless something utterly freakish happens, there will not be snow and freezing temps in Tampa.
