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.

"I feel like we're always underdogs, even when they've got us covering the point spread," veteran cornerback Ike Taylor said Monday after team meetings at Steelers headquarters.......................

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

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.
