I think a lot of people will pick Pittsburgh because of the defense. Seattle has a great offense, I think at least a better QB under pressure than maybe the last couple of QB's they've faced. Their O-line is excellent and they have Mack Strong... that'll be a great matchup against the Pittsburgh blitz. I really have no idea who's going to win that battle.
I actually think the most impressive defensive feat today was Seattle completely shutting down Steve Smith. That is really impressive. I really think this might be the most evenly matched Super Bowl in a long time on paper. I mean there've been upsets, but usually somebody is the favorite... the Pats are big favorites, or the Rams, or the Ravens and their D, or the late 90's Broncos, 90's Cowboys, etc, etc. I look at this matchup, and I don't know who I'd pick.
