Super Bowl picks

This is one of those David and Goliath type games. The Steelers are one of the NFL's best franchises. The Cardinals are one of the worst. The Steelers were a better team in the regular season, and beat better teams in the playoffs. Their fans travel well. In fact, the total number of Steelers fans probably outnumber the total Cardinals fanbase by a factor of 20. The fans at the game will be heavily pro-Pittsburgh.
All that Arizona has going for it is the natural love that America has for an underdog. Well, that and the best WR in the game. I don't think that's enough. The line on this game is 7 points. I think this will be more of a breakout game where one team gets up big and the scoring just keeps going. Something like Steelers 44-17.
I'll cheer for Arizona but I don't have any confidence in them.
