The Green Bay Packers finally get a home game in the playoffs, but it is in Dallas. The Packers are the home team, and the offshore NFL betting favorite, in Super Bowl XLV, to be played on February 6, 2011 in Dallas.
The Packers are the first NFC No. 6 seed to ever reach the Super Bowl, and they ride an incredible wave of momentum into the season’s biggest game.
On their way to Super Bowl XLV, the Packers have beaten the Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons and Chicago Bears. The Packers beat the top three seeds in the NFC to get to the Super Bowl, and now they have their sights set on the No. 2 seed in the AFC.
The Super Bowl betting lines may not favor the Pittsburgh Steelers, but NFL history certainly does. The Steelers have played in seven Super Bowls to this point and have only lost one. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger adds to the Super Bowl odds of Pittsburgh by being 2-0 in the Super Bowl.
Under head coach Mike Tomlin, the Steelers have been to the playoffs three times and now the Super Bowl twice. This is only Tomlin’s fourth year. Momentum may be on the side of the Packers, but history speaks highly of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Green Bay Packers
The Packers got a surprise gift in the first playoff game of the year against the Philadelphia Eagles. That gift was rookie running back James Starks. Starks barely played in the regular season. He never started and only saw time in three Packers games. But when he was handed the ball against the Eagles in the Wild Card Round, Starks ran up 123 yards and helped run the Packers past the Eagles.
Starks has been the difference in all three playoff games for the Packers. Now that quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a running game, he is even more dangerous than he was in the regular season.
On defense, the Packers are full of talent. Linebackers A.J. Hawk and Clay Matthews control the middle of the field, and Matthews has become a virtuoso at rushing the quarterback. Nose tackle B.J. Raji intercepted a pass against the Bears and ran it in for a touchdown. This is a very active and athletic Packers defense.
Pittsburgh Steelers
It is pretty obvious that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is making up the offense as he goes along. He is getting plays in from the sideline, but as soon as the ball is snapped, Ben ignores the play.
Pro Bowl rookie center Maurkice Pouncey suffered a high ankle sprain in the AFC Championship Game, but he promises to play in the Super Bowl. If Pouncey can play, the Packers defense will have their hands full between Roethlisberger’s improv, Pouncey’s ability to spring running back Rashard Mendenhall and the running game.
The Steelers defense hits hard. There is just no other way to put it. The only soft spot of the Steelers defense is the secondary. The secondary seems to get out of position at times and make mental mistakes that a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers can take advantage of.
The Bottom Line
This will be a great Super Bowl. Both teams have unpredictable yet effective offenses, and the speed on defense for both sides is a big difference maker. In the end, the Packers offense now has too many dimensions for the Steelers defense to handle, and that will be the difference in the game.
The Pack is Back to the Super Bowl. No Favre, No Lombardi, No Problem. Off to Super Bowl XLV. The Green Bay Packers hung on to beat the Chicago Bears 21-14 in cold, windy Soldier Field in Chicago on a playing surface that perhaps was no more than painted dirt. Still it did not slow the Pack Attack, or stifle a defense that forced 3 interceptions and TD.
Has another Steelers Dynasty arrived? The Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Packers in Super Bowl XLV, as they attempt to win their 3rd Super Bowl in the last 6 years. The Pittsburgh Steelers jumped out to a 24-0 lead and then hung on to beat the NY Jets 24-19 in Heinz Field in frigid 15 degree weather. Coach Mike Tomlin is the 1st coach to lead 2 teams to the Super Bowl under the age of 40.
Super Bowl 45 will be played on February 6th between the Pittsburg Steelers and Green Bay Packers at the Cowboys Stadium – Arlington, TX.
The two teams are Pittsburg Steelers and Green Bay Packers who defeated the New York Jets and Chicago Bears respectively in the AFC and NFC games. Both these teams have great quarterbacks in the form of Big Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers and it should more likely than not turn into a defensive game.
With that I mean that the team which defends well should be able to take home the Lombardi trophy. It is going to be quite an exciting match thought with two super eager quarterbacks who can take apart any defense.
This year, Black Eyed Peas will be performing during the half-time show along with performances from Kid Rock and Duran Duran on Feb 3rd and Jenni Rivera, Chino Y Nacho and Dulce Maria performing on Feb 4th.

Aaron Rodgers ran for a touchdown and made a saving tackle, B.J. Raji returned an interception for a score and Sam Shields had two interceptions to lead the Green Bay Packers to a 21-14 win over the Chicago Bears in the NFC championship game Sunday.
The victory sends the Packers (13-6) to the Super Bowl in Dallas on Feb. 6 to meet the winner of the New York Jets-Pittsburgh Steelers AFC title game later Sunday.
Raji’s TD return in the final quarter put the Packers up 21-7. Green Bay then withstood a rally led by Chicago third-string quarterback Caleb Hanie. He led two fourth-quarter TD drives, but Chicago’s last chance to tie the game ended in the final minute when Shields came up with his second interception in Packers’ territory.
Bears starter Jay Cutler hurt his knee and played only one series in the third quarter. Todd Collins replaced him but was ineffective. Chicago ends the season at 12-6.
The sixth-seeded Packers have now won road games in Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago.
The Packers won this 182nd meeting of the NFL’s most played rivalry and will be playing for the Vince Lombardi Trophy – named for their former coach – in their in fifth Super Bowl.
Rodgers and James Starks had short scoring runs in the opening half as the Packers built a 14-0 lead.
In the third quarter, Rodgers went back to work, connecting with Jordy Nelson for 21 yards and Greg Jennings for 20. After a pass interference call on Chicago’s Tim Jennings, the Packers had a first down at the 8.
But on third-and-6, Bears star linebacker Brian Urlacher intercepted a pass by Rodgers and had just the QB to beat for a long TD return. But Rodgers got in Urlacher’s way and grabbed just enough of his legs to pull him down at the Bears 45.
The Bears couldn’t muster much of anything offensively.
Cutler was having a rough afternoon, going 6 for 14 with 80 yards and an interception before Chicago turned the offense to the little-used Collins. It wasn’t immediately apparent when or how Cutler got hurt. Collins lasted two series before he was replaced by third-stringer Hanie.
Rodgers started where he left off last week against Atlanta, throwing passes of 22 and 26 yards to Jennings to open an 84-yard drive on the opening series of the game. He later hit Nelson with a 22-yarder to the Bears 2, then ran in from the 1 on a bootleg after withstanding a hard hit from safety Danieal Manning.
And just like that, the Packers were ahead in the first four minutes.
Taking the ball at the Bears 44 after forcing Brad Maynard to put out of his end zone, the Packers moved in again early in the second.
Rodgers got off a nice dump pass under pressure to Brandon Jackson and the running back made a beauty of a fake to go right past Urlacher and gain 16 yards. Starks then broke off a 12-yard run before Rodgers found Nelson for a 15-yard gain to the 4.
The rookie Starks carried right and weaved his way over the goal line, putting the Packers ahead 14-0 with 11:13 left in the half.
Rodgers was 10 of 15 for 156 yards and an interception in the first half.
The Bears got their offense moving midway through the second quarter but still couldn’t score. Cutler had a 24-yard pass to Johnny Knox and then found Chester Taylor for 12 more, carrying to the Packers 30, their deepest penetration of the game.
But the drive stalled after a completion was wiped out by a holding penalty and two carries by Cutler. Instead of trying a long field goal, the Bears punted again and Maynard’s kick went over the goal line into the end zone.
Rodgers couldn’t find an open receiver on second down and took off for a 25-yard gain to the Bears 45. Chicago’s defense dug in and stopped Starks on a third-and-1, forcing a Packers punt.
Shields forced a Cutler fumble with just under two minutes to go – the Bears’ Matt Forte recovered – but once again Chicago had to punt.
Finally, the bundled up predominantly Bears crowd had something to cheer when Lance Briggs intercepted a pass from Rodgers intended for Donald Driver with 48 seconds to go.
But after a pass to Forte gained 17 yards, Cutler’s long heave for Knox down the sideline was picked off by Shields near the goal line with 32 seconds left.
The Packers and Bears met only one other time in the postseason, a 33-14 win by Chicago in 1941, shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
After splitting two regular-season games – the Packers beat the Bears 10-3 in the finale just to get in – the hype for this matchup overflowed all week.
Green Bay got in as the sixth seed and behind the play of Rodgers, went into Philadelphia and Atlanta for impressive victories. Rodgers had 366 yards passing and threw for three TDs in Green Bay’s surprisingly lopsided 48-21 win against the Falcons.
