Super Bowl XLIII Preview/Game Thread

It's Super Bowl time BCC!! My track record is about on par with Nostradamus, with my pick of a Jacksonville-Dallas Super Bowl. The Steelers are going for a NFL record 6th Super Bowl, while the Cardinals are in their first championship game since current owner Bill Bidwell was a ball boy. Keep all of your Super Bowl thoughts here.
What to Watch For:
It's simple really, Ben Roethlisberger vs Kurt Warner. This is a classic matchup of two teams that live and die with their QBs. Perhaps it might be a better statement to say, the Cardinals have lived on Kurt Warner getting the ball to Larry Fitzgerald. The main thing however, is how Arizona reacts to a truly physical team. The only team they've played in the playoffs that had a real smash mouth mentality was Carolina, and for some reason they decided to air it out with Jake Delhomme.
Player on the Hot Seat:
Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Arizona
He's having the best postseason ever for a WR since this guy named Jerry Rice was catching passes from Joe Montana. He'll have to keep that up, both to keep Pittsburgh from teeing off on Kurt Warner, and making sure they can't stack the box.
Prediction:
Pittsburgh 27
Arizona 17
As I said, the only smash mouth team the Cardinals played was Carolina, and I'm of the opinion the Panthers lost that game more than Arizona won it. Roethlisberger shines in big games, and I think he atones for his bad performance in Super Bowl XL.
Also a quick note to Madden fans, it's been confirmed the first footage of Madden 2010 will be shown at some point during the game as well as a "Major announcement." If people with "Credible" sources are to be believed, the game will launch exclusively for the Xbox 360 for the first month it's out before making it's way to the PS3, PS2, Wii, and just about anything that has a processor and input device.

I love how common sense says the Steelers win...
But the rooting interest is in the Cards. I wonder if there’s some old AFC North Resentment going on?

I just hope
it will be a good game, that’s all. It seems to me that almost everything is depends how fiztgerald will perform tonight. If the Steelers can stop him, then I guesss Pittsburgh wins, if not Arizona…

All good
Just curious, what time does the Super Bowl kickoff for you locally?

At midnight
But I’m trained for it, for example MNF starts here 2:15 AM and I always watch it live!

I think it has
everything to do with Kurt Warner. If he goes mistake free, I think the Cards win.

Yeah
Though really if somebody had managed to tackle Harrision at some point then it’s still 23-20 Cards

It was really a great game
Was so good, or maybe even better then the last Superbowl. Congratulation to the Steelers (Byron Leftwich has a Championship ring!)
Also, we can saw once again the biggest disapointing team of 08: The Official crew(not just- this people who were the referees tonight, but this year long…
And one more note. Last year we beat the almost same Steelers team (minus Willie Parker) twice…As I wrote here once I really don’t like the “what if’s” but it makes this victory a little bitter for me. But just a little.
