SUPER BOWL - LATE ADDITIONS

Heath Miller receiving yards O/U @ 45.5

DeVoodoo's pick: UNDER
Miller has been used more as a blocker this year due to an injury depleted offensive line in Pittsburgh. Furthermore, TE's don't historically put up big numbers against 3-4 defenses, like the one the Packers run.


Team to use coach's challenge first

DeVoodoo's pick: Packers
I'll admit, a bit of a goofy bet, but since it's an even spread, I'll roll the dice and say the head coach making his first Super Bowl appearance -- Mike McCarthy -- will be a tad more jittery than the guy who's been there before, Mike Tomlin. And jitters can lead to hasty coaching decisions in the heat of battle.


First offensive play of the game -- run vs. pass

DeVoodoo's pick: Pass
A) There's no conceivable reason why the Packers will open the game by running smack into the Steel curtain.
B) If the Steelers get the ball first, I'd imagine they'll let Rapemyhamburger try to set the proper offensive tone.
