SUPER BOWL LVI:

Green Bay Packers - 31, Pittsburg Steelers - 25

Why Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers for Super Bowl LVI?

Yes, I did predict a Super Bowl XLV rematch with the same results. Aaron Rodger's "will he? won't he?" this past offseason made it obvious Aaron Rodgers's time with the Packers and the NFL will come to an end soon. It would not surprise me if this is Aaron Rodgers's last year with the Packers and the NFL. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers recently knows what it feels like to be the bridesmaid and not the bride, as they have consistently finished 2nd place in the NFC, losing the conference championship game. The time has come for Rodgers and the Packers to return to the Super Bowl for the first time in eleven years. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a similar situation. Pittsburgh has not seen a Super Bowl in eleven years. The Steelers have an aging quarterback, whose retirement may come sooner than later. Unlike the Packers, however, the Steelers really don't have a backup plan for Ben Roethlisberger's retirement (I do not have faith in Mason Rudolph). The Steelers may not see a Super Bowl for a long time, so they deserve another visit. Unfortunately, as comparison to the last time these two teams met in the Super Bowl, this Packers team is better and this Steelers team is worse. Therefore, the Super Bowl goes to the Packers, and hopefully the Steelers can at least keep it close.
