Cardinals in the Superbowl ... Really!

I remember the first Cardinals game in Sun Devil Stadium after they moved here in 1988(?) and back then we thought the team would definitely make the playoffs and that several Superbowl berths would be in our future. But then Neil Lomax got hurt, ruining that season, and dozens of low, low points followed for this woeful franchise.
But I've remained a Cardinals fan, but just didn't see this coming. What an incredible playoff run!
Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, Adrian Wilson, Darnell Dockett and many other players and a great coaching staff have electrified this state and fans of exciting football throughout the nation.
My prediction is a tough game against a great Steelers defense. But this team has resilience and character and I think they will bounce back again and again. I think the defense will score at least one and possibly two touchdowns (watch Antrel Rolle and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and the offense will match that. Add in a field goal or two and I predict a 34-31 Cardinals victory, perhaps in overtime.
GO CARDINALS!!!
