[NFL] Super Bowl XLV - Pittsburgh Steelers vs Green Bay Packers

[-Heart]

Apologies if the person who made the play-offs thread is annoyed that I made this, but I felt we needed a thread solely for one of the biggest sporting events of the year - the Super Bowl.

Who do you think will win the famous trophy? Packers are the favourites by 2 are the moment. Should be a great game. Steelers overcame the Jets last night 24-19 and the Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 21-14 to earn their spot at Super Bowl 45 at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

*Biggest American sporting event

Don't anger the Brits here, they're scary!

I'm rooting for the Pack myself, used to be a big Packers fan because of my aunt. Now I just have teams I like and teams I hate (like the Pats).

Being in the suburbs of NYC I would've liked the Jets to have made it but owell.

[Judge Judy]

Go Steelers. I think it's going to be a close one like in 2009 I predict 27-21.
But first the Pro Bowl

[lol]

do europeans even get the broadcast of the game?
i picked the packers... i hate roethlisberger

[Judge Judy]

yeah BBC and Sky Sports in early hours of the morning.

Pro Bowl this weekend, just over a week away from the big one now.

[T@R]

TBH, even as a 'Brit', I'd safely agree this is currently the biggest sporting event in the world, one which I'll most definitely be staying up to watch, even though the Pats decided to not be in it... D:

[Stephen]

surely events like the world cup etc are bigger than the super bowl

if you said this year then I'd agree

oh and packers probably

[5,5]

I'm going with the Packers in this one because I hate the Steelers and I sort of like the Pack since my uncle lives in Wisconsin. And yes, the Super Bowl is without a doubt one of the biggest sporting events EVERY year whether or not their is a world cup.

For anyone interested, there's a great program on Sky Sports that's on every day from between 3-5pm I think it is, called NFL - America's Game, which gives a detailed report of the Super Bowl champions, with a different team being featured in each episode. 3-4 of the players from that particular team also help to tell the story, and it's a really interesting insight into how the team went about the season, their attitudes and feelings towards winning the Lombardi trophy, etc.

Been watching it every year around this time for 3 years now, as it's normally shown the week or so before the Super Bowl, love it.
