No respect? Underdog status could benefit Steelers

[stillers4me]

It remains to be seen whether Vegas oddsmakers did the Steelers a disservice by installing the Green Bay Packers as the favorites in Super Bowl XLV.

They certainly did coach Mike Tomlin a favor by setting the early line at three points.
That will serve as one of many rallying points for the Steelers as they prepare for a Super Bowl that pits two of the NFL's most storied franchises against one another Feb. 6 in Dallas.

NFC gets to pick whether or not they will wear their home or away jerseys. So expect to see the Steelers in white again.

I'm not gonna lie, I'd like to see us play in the Super Bowl in our black jerseys. But then again, we've been doing pretty good in our whites, so why not stick with what's been working?

I miss the black also, but last time we wore black in the SB, we lost.

Plus, we've been good in white this year. (although at least 1 away game - TB - we wore black)

We wore black when we played in Tennessee as well.

Maybe GB will do what we did in 05 and choose to wear white to continue the "road warriors" mentality. Because I would rather us wear black this time.
