Gimme an Extra Large

Superbowl XL is up today, pitting the Pittsburgh Steelers up against the Seattle Seahawks. It's The Bus Jerome Bettis against this season's MVP Shaun Alexander. Second-youngest-quarterback-in-Superbowl-history Ben Roethlisberger versus the crafty Matt Hasselbeck. It is the city of steel against the city of coffee...

Who's going to win? The heart says Seahawks, because for some undefined reason I inherently like teams from Seattle (Sonics, Mariners). And they're the underdogs, they've never been here before.

The head says Steelers, because they have the momentum; they have beaten more formidable foes en route to the game, and they look absolutely dominating at times, especially against the Broncos two weeks ago.

So we have to go with the gut, and it goes with the Steelers... by two scores.
