I'm going for a Steelers win 27-17.Usually in a superbowl you get 1 team with more fans there than the other but both teams this time have a lot of fans that travel to away games so it'll be interesting to see who gets the most fans in the stadium.Not that it'll affect the outcome of the game as the Bears had a lot more fans than Indy in our last superbowl and we know how that ended.

Come on the Pack. I always cheers for the NFC team, as my team ( the 49ers ) don't have a hope in hell of reaching a SB anytime soon, so at least the champs can come from the same Conference

Probably be a Packers crowd as the Steelers are hated by the Cowboys(Ice Bowl).

Thanks to your defence. Rodgers needs a big game in the superbowl. Can't play like he did yesterday against the Steelers. Hope you win it, Rodgers comes across as a nice kind of guy.

Definately. Great game from our D and I think they can match up well with what the Steelers do on offence. The Steelers O-line is rubbish at times and Big Ben gets hit alot so we need to make sure when we get to him we take him down.

On offence I think it'll be tough, and we need to get Starks out to practice some pass protection and picking up the Blitz for when they bring it. We'll need to spread them out to keep Harrison, who isn't the fastest, away from Rodgers. Rodgers is one of the best at picking up the Blitz so he'll have his shots.

Bears fans aren't happy with Cutler.

A lot of Bears fan's seem to have jumped from the Jay Cutler bandwaggon, has anyone actually said what his injury was yet?

He's having an MRI but apparently he may have a torn ACL.

Alot of players hammered him on Twitter too, apparently he was close to tears when he was told other players were questioning his commitment/toughness.

Ok he was injured but players have played, OR attempted to play on equally as bad injuries. Rivers played the 2008 AFCC game with a torn ACL, Gradokowski has apparently played a game with 2 torn ACL's, McNabb has played on a broken ankle, Favre has played on any combination of leg/ankle injuries.

However aside from that he didn't even look interested. He didn't go over and try and advise Henie, he wasn't trying to get the crowd/other players going.

I think they are going overboard because I like Cutler, but he certainly isn't blameless.
