Did the oddsmakers really take a look at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ resume this year and in previous Super Bowls?
It doesn’t appear so because they gave the Green Bay Packers a 2 1/2 point edge in the game. That’s despite the Steelers’ six Super Bowl titles, 14-4 record this season and the No. 2 AFC seed.
Don’t worry if it doesn’t make sense because you are not alone. The players are feeling the same way.
“I kind of don’t understand what everybody sees that we don’t see,” Steelers defensive back Ike Taylor said. “I feel like, deep down, in the back of people’s heads, they really don’t want us to win, people don’t like successful people. Just the tradition we have here, the success we have here, I just feel that a lot of people don’t want us to succeed. They’re getting tired of seeing the same people over and over again. I guess they want to see somebody new.”
“Until that happens, I’m just glad to be a Pittsburgh Steeler.”
The Steelers started their season as underdogs and have embraced it all season..................
