As for me...this is why we are sports fans. When you follow a team for a large part of your life...feel the ups and downs of winning and losing...read and watch anything you can about your team.....and you get to this spot, well it doesnt get any better.
I am uncomfortable most times thinking my team WILL win, because when they dont it is harder to take than believing they CAN win. Since the Packers beat the Bears 2 weeks ago right until this minute, I have had the feeling that they WILL win and it bothers me.
At any rate I think this team is destined for the win simply because of the enormity of adversity it has had to overcome in reagrds to injuries this season. You mix in a defense that hasnt allowed its team to be behind in game by more than 7 points ALL year, add in the single hottest offensive player the last month who is ready to shake a really large shadow thats been following him for 3 years, and the fact these guys are playing what amounts to their 6th straight elimination game on the road and I have to believe they are ready to finish the deal.
Packers 31 Steelers 23.
