A Good Pick!

From MSNBC.com, Novacek & his thoughts on how the game will go...

"The pick:

It'll be a tight game throughout. I can't see either team opening up a big lead.

The Cardinals will try for a fast start, but I think they'll stall on early drives. Pittsburgh seems like the more likely team to keep its cool and hold the lead after the first quarter.

But by the second half, Arizona should settle down defensively and I think Warner will have more luck spotting his receivers. Same for the third quarter.

And the fourth will be something to watch.

I expect both teams' offenses to get in a groove in the final period. It wouldn't surprise me to see more touchdowns in the final 15 minutes than the rest of the game. The Steelers will want to run the ball and control the tempo, but Arizona should be able to notch a couple of quick scores and force Pittsburgh to throw the ball and open up its offense.

This is the time when Warner should shine. The Steelers' defense has been great all season, but he'll make enough plays late in the game to give Arizona the lead and a Super Bowl trophy.

Pick: Cardinals, 31-24"

(Oh, and GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!)
