BRENNAN'S BEAUTIES: So the No. 6 seed from the NFC is again the favorite after also being the team to beat - at least according to Las Vegas - in the NFC title game. Do you get the sense this Packers team is one of destiny? It's a team without a legitimate running game since it lost Ryan Grant in Week 1. Yeah, I know. James Starks is a budding star all of a sudden. Well, run for 80-plus yards and a score against the Steelers' run defense and then get back to me. But while Green Bay's and Pittsburgh's impressive defenses are a push - the Steelers get the edge in the running game with Rashard Mendenhall - let's see if Pittsburgh has an answer for the Packers and their four- and five-receiver sets with its shaky-at-best secondary. This also could be the day Aaron Rodgers - provided his offensive line keeps him upright and away from James Harrison (three postseason sacks) and LaMarr Woodley (two sacks) - picks the Steelers apart and delivers Green Bay's first Supe title in 14 years. Packers fans everywhere then celebrate by deluging the International Star Registry with calls to name a star after Rodgers. Fear the Cheese! |
