THE SUNDAY LINE GUYS
Dave Larimer
Steelers 30, Cards 17Forget last year and forget who's hot. The better team almost always wins the Super Bowl, and it usually wins handily.
Des Bieler
Steelers 34, Cards 17It's been quite the magic-carpet ride for Arizona, but much like their state's senior senator, the Cards are destined to outlast every foe on their side of the draw, only to lose in the final to a more-talented opponent.
Matt Bonesteel
Cards 29, Steelers 24Whiff of Destiny + Cardinals' coaches familiarity with the Steelers + Warner + Fitzgerald = another semi-shocking upset in the Super Bowl.
