Super Bowl Prediction

Who's it Gonna Be?
The time has come for Jeff-tradamus to come out of hiding yet again and make another prediction.  First of all, let's get this out of the way.  The Jeff Report's preseason Super Bowl prediction was a gigantic failure, we all know this.  I told the Jackie Report after I made the prediction that against my better judgment I picked against the Packers and Aaron Rodgers to go to the Super Bowl and picked them to lose to the Cowboys in the NFC championship game.  That was a bad choice, but I'm ok with it now.  I also picked the Steelers to miss the playoffs, but we don't need to rehash that.

The point of this post is to predict a winner.  When I was younger, every year around Super Bowl time my grandpa would have his annual Super Bowl prediction pot in which every family member (keep in mind I have a large family, so this is a pretty decent number) would pick the winner and the points.  The person who picked the correct winner without going over would win.  My grandpa passed away in 2003 but my mom has kept that tradition alive and it is in honor of that tradition that I am laying out my prediction for you all here:

Steelers over Packers - 30-27

I don't like Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers generally piss me off (if for not other reason than their dominance at Arrowhead and their unruly fans), and I am huge Aaron Rodgers fan, but the reality is, the Steelers don't lose these games.  They have been to 7 Super Bowls and won 6 with their only losses coming at the hands of the Cowboys when Neil O'Donnell was their QB.  Big Ben shows up in big games, Troy Polamalu may be the best Safety to ever live, and like I said, the Steelers just don't lose big games like this.  Hopefully I am wrong, but for the sake of my Grandfather's Super Bowl pot, hopefully I am right on.  We will see.
