One area that has not been touch in with much signifigance is the ability of the Steelers and Seahawks to create turnovers and get to the quarterback. Pittsburgh and Seattle, the participants in Super Bowl XL this Sunday, was a combined 8-0 in turnover margin in last week's conference title games. The winning teams in the playoffs this season are a combined plus-19 in turnover differential.
The team with the higher ranked defense has won the Super Bowl in four of the past five seasons and eight of the past 11.
If the trend continues, Pittsburgh will win its fifth Super Bowl next Sunday. The Steelers ranked fourth in defense, third against the run and 16th against the pass. Seattle finished 16th overall, fifth against the run and 25th against the pass.
Seattle, however, led the league in sacks (50) and gave up just 77 points in the past seven games. Pittsburgh has given up 73 points in its past four games.
The Steelers lets face it have been on some kind of wonderful ride for the past six weeks as they played sudden death football. After beating Cincinnati, Indy and Denver on the road, you know these creatures of habit wanted to play this past weekend and forego the weekend off. Momentum can be such a defining factor in games and the Steelers were on a road.
I’m just not comfortable with all the distractions and the long period of time staying in a hotel as their games won on the road, only required one night’s stay in an opposing teams city.
For the Seahawks life at home has been terrific, but now they are on East Coast time and the one advantage to being in Detroit so long, is that their bodies will get acclimatized to the time change.
Regardless of this entire trivia, both teams will be a bit edgy and rusty, so the great punting of Gardocki and Rouen may play a pivotal role. Both kickers are proficient at placing the ball inside the 20 yard line and this could bog down the offensive side of the ball.
I encourage you to spend a lot of time on the proposition wagers that deal with field goals. Both kickers are superb and I would not hesitate to lay some coin on the chance that both kickers will be successful from outside 35 yards on Sunday!
