Vs.

This will not be a re-run of the Superbowl last season, this new season starts with a special preseason treat, the possibility of a redemption for the Cardinals or complete dominance for the Steelers side, it will be quite a match that is a given, although both teams will be really testing players and not focusing on winning, WOULD THEY?

8:00 PM ET, August 13, 2009
Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA.
Game televised @ NBC and ESPN

Everybody thinks this will be the magical time in which Cardinals will get the chance to get even with the Steelers for the superbowl lost in the last seconds last season but think again, both teams have actually made deals in the off season to improve themselves, Steelers are looking pretty strong and I bet Arizona will give them a good run for their money but at the end of the day Pittsburgh will end up winning again.

Arizona Cardinals got some interesting picks at the draft like Wells (RB) from Ohio St and Brown (OLB) from UConn, they also held Karlos Dansby as a franchise Linebacker which brings a lot of security for the team looking to get another successful season right ahead. The Team really looks almost the same, let’s remember that Arizona gave 5 players to the Pro-Bowl last season and had the Pro-Bowl MVP Larry Fitzgerald, it will be the dream cinderella story with qualified players that care about winning, it will be a surprise throughout the season.

Pittsburgh Steelers had some good picks too, they got Hood (DT) from Missouri and Urbik (OG) from Wisconsin but as the reigning champs they pretty much retain most of the players they had last year, the team looks better than ever and with a big Ben taking command it will be awfully hard for the rest of the teams.

MY PREDICTION WILL BE A TOUGH GAME BY BOTH TEAMS, THEY WILL TEST SOME GOOD PLAYERS BUT AT THE END STEELERS WILL WIN NO DOUBT THERE, CARDS ARE TOO YOUNG TO HANDLE BIG BEN AND HIS CREW.
