It’s Superbowl XL from Ford Field in snowy Detroit tonight, kick-off in around 5 hours. This will be the fourth superbowl in a row I’ve managed to watch, having missed several of the late ’90s to early ’00s superbowls. This year it is the Pittsburgh Steelers vs the Seattle Seahawks.
I’m really looking forward to this one, although the Steelers are probably outright favourites, it should still be an entertaining game, especially if the Seahawks’ running back, and NFL MVP, Shaun Alexander comes out all guns blazing. He has already broken the single season touchdown record this year, and I can see him getting a few TDs tonight. For the Steelers, although Jerome “The Bus” Bettis has received most of the attention, Willie Parker, their man running back is likely to be doing most of the running. However, in recent weeks the Steelers have come out with a passing offence, whether they decide to do this again will be interesting, as I’m sure it won’t surprise the Seahawks.
I still think the Steelers will win, but it could be a closely fought match, and definately an enjoyable one, oh well, only 5hours to wait.
