Sean Salisbury "How can Pitt be favored?"

Journeyman · Jan 25, 2006

The outspoken ESPN analyst cannot for the life of him figure out how, and frankly it does not make any sense, Seattle on paper is the better team, Pitt is the public team.

This is a pick em at best, I really believe Seattle on paper is the better team.

I agree but history and Steeler Legacy is hard to cap. I still will have all the Seattle Moneyline I can take without a heart attack.

Streaks-The Steelers are on fire right now and they are doing everything right.

I may not be on them, but I'm sure as hell not going against them.

Sean is a no nothing. How can ESPN have such worthless analysts is beyond me.

Seattle has been on fire too though, just haven't had to play any real tough teams but have dominated everyone....

My point I'm trying to raise is ,how did Pitt a 6th seed become so highly regarded, the Seahawks destroyed Carolina who had been playing well..this should be a great SB.

My line was Pitt -4 before it came out(too the public) but I feel this game is pick em:nopityA:

While I agree with Sean Salisbury, I also must agree with Chuck Sims...Sean Salisbury is not a very good analyst....but that is just my opinion (and Chuck's too.)

HOWEVER, I agree...do not write Seattle out of this one! This is one of the closer matchups that we've seen in a long time! tulsa

It seems like the NFL majority have already awarded the SB to Pittsburgh before this one is played.

Old Steelers fan here, so its ok with me if they win it.

Tulsa · Jan 25, 2006

BY THE WAY.....one of the most important superbowl attributes for a team?

No way does Pittsburghs' Cower stack up to Seattle's Holmgren...no way and no how.....even team staff's don't compare....no way no how...

sounds like Salisbury is mushing the seahawks to me.

Do I dare say it? If Pitt shows up to play(and I've seen NO inclination that they won't), they can't be beat.

They are that good right now.

Sean picked Pitt to win, so I don't know what he is so upset about.

Trying to create a middle for himself.

He has pictures of Bob Ley and some real weird stuff w/ George Grande...that is why the old backup has his job.:missingte

If Pitt's OL protects Roethlisberger the way they have the last three games (and defense is not Seattle's strong suit) the Steelers will roll. I see a 34-17 victory.

the reason Pgh is so highy regarded is easy. Big Ben is healthy and when he is healthy, stacking the line like Denver did, and stopping the run won't do it anymore. He will pass the ball on 1st down.

Pittsburgh would not have been a 6th seed if Ben hadnt missed all those games to injury.

I think Sean has a big break the bank wager on the sea chickens

Staffs dont compare??? Name me a better defensive co-ordinator than Dick LeBeau. And Ken Whisenhut has been on fire. The Steelers will be well prepared, very well prepared!!!

I had already made up my mind before the number came out that i was going to have either team that was getting more than 3, if either was that big a chalk.
