Tomorrow most, if not all, of us will be sitting in front of a television donning some form of red and white, while others don black and yellow. Hosts will be entertaining either their friends or family or even both. Soldiers will receive a hard-earned break from battle for a small glimpse of home. All of us have selected a side. All of us are tuning into the Super Bowl.

Whether we admit it or not, each of us has some vested interest in tomorrow.  Whether it is for the commercials or the actual game, well, that’s a different story. Naturally there are people that have fallen in love with the underdog story of the Arizona Cardinals. Then, there are others that believe the Steelers are a shoe-in for their second championship in three years. I’ll admit next to the Lions, the Steelers are a close second in my heart, and they are the safe pick. But, as Lee Corso always says: Not so fast my friend.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say the Cardinals are going to pull off the upset tomorrow in Tampa and here’s why:

The Steelers’ offensive line has given up 46 sacks this year and in the post-season hasn’t really been spectacular. You can definitely count on the Cardinals to send blitz packages from every angle to keep an ailing Big Ben scrambling to extend the play, or getting to know Raymond James’ turf on a more personal level. In Arizona’s three playoff games the defense has played out of their minds holding good rushers to mediocre yardage: Michael Turner was held to 60 total yards, DeAngelo Williams had only 75, and Brian Westbrook rushed for 97. Two of which were in the top five this past year in rushing. Not to mention Westbrook was ranked 18^th while Willie Parker, the Steelers go-to guy, holds the 26^th spot respectively.  The Cardinals aren’t strangers to good defenses either. Two weeks ago against Philly, who had the No. three defense in the NFL, the cards put up 32 points and 369 total yards. Kurt Warner lit up the Eagles for 4 Touchdowns while going 21-28 with four and didn’t throw an interception all game. Plus Kurt Warner is a Super Bowl MVP. Not to mention this is Kurt Warner’s third Super Bowl appearance.

The Cardinals’ coaching staff has seven Super Bowl tested minds to their advantage. One of which coached with the Steelers in 2006. You have to expect that Ken Whisenhunt will bring that expertise and familiarity of the Steelers to the Table.

Vegas holds the spread at 6.5. I say the Cardinals win 24-20 tomorrow and who knows it could be on a late touchdown like Eli threw to Plaxico last year against the Patriots and that is the beauty of this unofficial holiday.

Every year experts and fans both agree that the BCS creates conflict. Usually it is about whether a team is ranked properly or who should get a shot at the National Championship. No matter what the case, the BCS leaves doubters in its wake. One doubter is taking the argument and the BCS to a whole new level. Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff makes the claim the BCS is monopolizing college football. But, why bring this up now?
