Sky in game for HD then when it cuts back to England over to BBC; no ads and no Cadle...or Halling.

I really think the steelers defence will hold their own and if the packers want to win the game,then they will have to stop the offence.They have to stop Big Ben getting good ball to Mendenhall otherwise it could be a long night for the Packers.Anyway Steelers to edge it 27-19.

Your D will get spread out all night long. Why try running it significantly when we can negate your pass rushers and get great matchups. Our recievers are better than the guys covering them and your tendency to blitz will give the best QB against the Blitz (not named Manning) time to find the open man. I really think our offence can put up significant points.

I like our chances against your offence. No Pouncey means Legursky gets to go up against Raji and Clay coming off the edge can reak havok.

I think it'll be close, we are both good on both sides of the ball, but I think our superior offence and oppurtunistic D will get us the victory in the end.

I quite like Jay Schroeder so will watch the sky coverage but to be honest when the ads come on/they cut back to the studio I will be going to the fridge for another beer so I won't notice

I couldn't have a beer during the last 2 SB's so I'm gonna have a few this year me thinks.

Apparently the beebs lineup is going to be Jake Humphries, Mike Carlson and Osi Umenyiora. Gunna be a tricky one to choose between Sky and the BBC.

Sky going with Cadle, Martin and Schroeder in the studio and Halling, Gayle and Reinebold in Dallas. Why can't Reinebold be doing the BBC coverage? Would make the decision a lot easier! Feel a bit sorry for Van Pelt. Yeah he wasn't great to start with but I thought he had picked up a little in the last couple of weeks.

Definately not watching the BBC if Carlson is on it. The worst analyst/commentator I have ever seen.

Richard Dent, Marshall Faulk, Chris Hanburger, Les Richter, Ed Sabol, Deion Sanders and Shannon Sharpe are the newest hall of fame inductee's.

Shows what a strong lineup there was this year when Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Cris Carter, Charles Haley and Curtis Martin miss out!

Your passing attack will open up the run. Starks will have a big day. I hope you win to stop Big Ben winning one. The stuff r.e Favre that Rodger has had to fight along with his draft day troubles, I think it would be a great story. Currently watching the 2007 Americas Game. "The Packers secondary must be cold, as they've just been undressed by Plaxico Burress. I hope he's back next year.

There's a load of players that should be in especially the one's on my list IMO

I saw this on twitter Cris Carter " all he does is catch touchdown's and not make the hall of fame"

Steelers 20 Packers 16 for me.

The Super Bowl is normally a relatively high scoring affair (at least compared to usual play-off football) but I can't see this one being such a high scorer due to the talents of both sides D's.
