Final score: Packers 23, Steelers 17 (OT)

MVP: Clay Matthews

Game-winning score: Roethlisberger hit by Matthews as he throws, the pass goes off-target and into the arms of Nick Collins who takes it back for the Lombardi-winning pick-six in OT. :D

Oh that Game-winning score would be amazing. Pittsburgh deserves one of those heartbreaking losses. What would be even better is if this happened on like the 10 yard line with the Steelers about to score to win. :P

If football was like wrestling, the game would be tied with 30 seconds remaining and the Steelers driving for a certain winning score. Ben would drop back to pass, when from out of nowhere he is decked by a masked assailant. The ball goes up in the air where it is caught by a Packer who runs it back for the winning score. The masked man removes his mask to reveal himself as Rex Ryan, and he and Mike Sherman engage in a powerful handshake at mid field, creating the NFL's first unholy alliance. The NFL will have no choice but to start recognizing DQs as valid outcomes, with the caveot that the championship can't change hands on a DQ. The Packers will make the SB for each of the next 10 years, and each time they are about to lose, some Jets practice squad players will do a run-in, forcing a DQ, and ensuring that the Packers keep the Lomardi.

Why in the hell would Mike Sherman be there? The Pack fired his ass years ago. :P

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Dude... I still type Sherman from time to time. The Packers have had 4 coaches over the past 18 years and only in one of those years was it not a guy named Mike.

But could the Packers really be a heel team? I suppose BBTV's scenario might work in a Hogan/NWO heel turn type of way, but I think the Rodgers-era Packers are more of a Ricky Steamboat type babyface... not very brash or flamboyant, but they execute better than just about anyone and who really hates them outside of the NFC North?

EDIT: Y'know, that might be a good concept thread i.e. "If the NFL were pro wrestling then <team> would be <wrestler>."

I'm not talented at making predictions but will try some admittedly dicey logic: Saints handled Steelers, Falcons split with Saints but played them close each time, Packers demolished Falcons, therefore Packers should handle Steelers.

Besides, Rodgers has more to play for than Big Ben does.

Packers 27, Steelers 21

Ah, the transitive property. Consider this, it took overtime for the Steelers to beat the Falcons without Roethlisberger and that game was in Pittsburgh. The Packers destroyed the Falcons in Atlanta. Just Saying...

I hope the Packers win, but I'm willing to bet the Steelers win with some crazy bounce or questionable call in the last 3 minutes. I've seen too many Steeler wins to think otherwise. The Packers will be in the game just enough to make you think they have a good shot at winning (ala Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII) and then the Steelers will pull off some ridiculously lucky play to win the game and their fans will behave like morons. What would make my year is if they miss the game winning field goal or an overtime loss on a Big Ben fumble as posted above would be the perfect moment to hold us over until 2012.

as a packer fan, i am really scared that the refs will ruin it again, but, in the wake of all the rothlisberger controversey, I don't think the NFL will want the steelers to win. Apart from a defensive lineman being caught with some coedine, we have a been a clean team, that unless your from minnesota or chicago, people don't hate. Also the NFL should want the lombardi to return home, steelers have done enough winning. Either way, Roger Gooodell has got to be drooling at this match-up.

Too early for me to give a prediction since injuries and suspensions have yet to come down.

However, this season GB is 2-6 in games decided by 4 points or less. Even while one score games are basically random, that is not a good trend. They are 6-6 in games eight points or less.

Meanwhile PIT is 6-1 in games 4 points or less and 5-2 in games of 8 points or less.

And last season was a 37-36 game.
