And most likely win.
I have yet to hear a compelling case for the Steelers besides "defense wins championships". I don't understand how Vegas can have them at 7 point favorites after how the Cards have played in the playoffs.
So please, convince me not to bet big on the Cards this weekend.
And with that:
5. The Cards defense is better than the Steelers offense
The Cardinals are facing arguably the worst running back they have seen in the playoffs and possibly the worst offensive line. The Steelers will have trouble putting up points.
4. Hines Ward injury will be bigger than people think
And this goes with #5. Ward's injury will allow the cards to focus on stopping Santonio and Parker, thus leaving Washington to make big plays.
3. Russ Grim and Ken Wisenhunt know the steelers personell
It's not like Gruden vs the raiders, but their knowledge of who is on the other sideline will help them come up with a superior gameplan.
2. The Cards receivers will exploit the Steelers secondary
The Steelers D is great, but the Cards receivers are better. Boldin is healthy and pissed, Beaston is a threat and Fitz, well, he is on fire.
1. Kurt Better
C'mon, seriously though. Big Ben choked in the Super Bowl last time and I expect him to do the same. Warner will be the better quarterback, with better receivers and better o-line.
