We&#8217;ve got the established Pittsburgh Steelers against the upstart Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. The two teams, which were briefly one during World War II, have some other similarities as well. Both have been owned by the same families since the 1930s. Both were generally awful for a large part of their existence. We know that the Cardinals had not won a championship since 1948 and only one other playoff game before this year. They also moved twice, from Chicago to St. Louis to Phoenix (actually Tempe) and even changed their location to Arizona. Many people forgot that the Steelers stunk for their first forty years in the league before breaking through in the 1970s. They have a huge fanbase spread out as Western Pennsylvanians have moved elsewhere for generations. The Cardinals on the other hand, don&#8217;t have much a fanbase anywhere, including Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, enough with the history. My pick is simple &#8212; <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">the Pittsburgh Steelers will win Super Bowl XLIII, it is a LOCK<\/span>. They are more talented and experienced than the Cardinals in almost every way. They have a better defense, a strong enough offense and Super Bowl experience. The Cardinals may have better receivers and a quarterback with twice as much Super Bowl experience, but I think the Steelers secondary and pash rush offsets that enough. I expect the Steelers to win by at least 10 points.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/website_3c1e0e40\/graphics\/technorati.gif\" border=\"0\">  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/SuperBowlXLIII\" rel=\"tag\">Super Bowl XLIII<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/PittsburghSteelers\" rel=\"tag\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/ArizonaCardinals\" rel=\"tag\">Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/football\" rel=\"tag\">football<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">&copy;MMX William F.
