In case you didn't notice, what with all the hoopla surrounding commercials, Springsteen and President Obama's pick, there is a somewhat important football game this Sunday. As our good friend in Fairfield would call it: 'The Game With The Roman Numerals', aka The Super Bowl (make that XLIII) is this Sunday night at 6:30. For those of you that care, The Learning Channel starts its pregame coverage at 11 am with "Evolution Of A National Holiday." Here are our picks as the Pittsburgh Steelers are favored to beat the Arizona Cardinals.

Bobby Taute: Cardinals 24, Steelers 10: Roethlisberger makes the bigger mistakes, The Cardinal D, though NOT in the same class as Pitt, plays well. The Steelers will contain, but not control, Fitzgerald & Co. James scores a TD too. Warner will be the first QB to win a Super Bowl with two different clubs.

Lolita Lopez: Cardinals 21, Steelers 18: This will be a defensive stuggle. The Cardinals will actually score two safeties on defense!

Chris Jacobs: Steelers 17, Cardinals 14: PItt becomes the first team to win The Big Game 6 times.

News Reporter Chris Glorioso: Steelers 28, Cardinals 21: In the interest of full disclosure, I am a rabid Steelers fan! James Harrison will be a ball hawking nightmare for Kurt Warner. Inside linebackers Larry Foote and James Farrior will have the game of their lives. Soft spoken safety Troy Polamalu will single handedly neutralize Fitzgerald AND Boldin. Oh yeah, on the offense, WR Hines Ward will own the middle. Steelers win their 6th championship. Sorry 49ers and Cowboys, the STEEL CITY is home to the NFL's greatest franchise.

News Anchor Jim Watkins: Steelers 31, Cardinals 14: But my Super Bowl picks are ALWAYS wrong so I'm actually going to bet on the Cardinals right now.

News Anchor Kaity Tong: Who's playing? Seriously, I LOVE Larry Fitzgerald. I don't care about the score, just that Arizona wins.
