The history of pro football playoffs is littered with unpleasant games, however the champions of enough of those games usually make it to the Super Bowl. But in 2011, both the AFC and National Football Conference division championships were won by good clubs competing unpleasant games vs longshots that almost beat them. The Packers and Pittsburgh steelers made it, true, but neither squad performed remarkably well this past weekend, almost failing to make the Super Bowl prospects and allowing the longshots make it to this year's major match. And that can mean difficulties for either team's probabilities to win the Super Bowl. In the 2nd half of the National Football Conference division championship, the Bears almost came back from being down by 14 points to take the Packers' place in the Super Bowl. If Bears Qb Cutler had been in the match the whole time, we might have been looking forward to a Steelers-Bears matchup. The Pittsburgh steelers didn't do much superior in their division championship match vs the Jets. The Jets and the Pittsburgh steelers were pretty evenly matched, but New York came out competing like they didn't feel they belonged in the Super Bowl. Being down 24 points in the 2nd half, the squad made a outstanding comeback, but it was only short of putting them at the top of the match. So, rather than an long shot from either division getting to the Super Bowl this year, we get to watch two good clubs fight it out, even with their not having performed up to their full potentials in their earlier games. And with all the exhilaration, distractions, and stress that come together with every year's bowl match, can we expect either the Packers or the Pittsburgh steelers to play actually well? The Packers and Pittsburgh steelers have been in the Super Bowl plenty of times and the Super Bowl title is named following Green Bay coach Vince Lombardi who led the Packers to wins in the 1st two Super Bowls. The Packers have 3 Super Bowls wins and one loss in their four earlier appearances. They won the 1st two Super Bowls and also won Super Bowl XXXI. They lost in Super Bowl XXXII. Pittsburgh has won the Super Bowl a record six times plus they are going following their seventh. If one squad or the other had crushed their competitors last week and decisively taken either the AFC or the National Football Conference championship, it might be easier to predict with squad would win the Super Bowl. But with both clubs arriving from pretty unpleasant 2nd quarters that could have cost either squad their chance at Super Bowl glory in any way, picking a favorite becomes considerably more tough. Presently, sportsbook prospects are leaning toward the Packers as the minor favorite to win in 2011. The Bet Royal casino features horse racing betting with live odds and horse race results.
