![Super Bowl XLV]()
As the
Pittsburgh Steelers and
Green Bay Packers face off in Dallas this Sunday, fans are storing up on salsa chips and crab cakes and everybody has their
Ms. Cleo-like predictions.
Two-time Super Bowl Champion,
Houston Texans defensive end
Jarvis Green (pictured right) has Green Bay winning by six:

"I like Green Bay because they are a young team, they are new at this and they look hungry.
Aaron Rodgers has been playing like a beast in the playoffs.
"Yes, Pittsburgh has a strong defense, but I think Aaron Rodgers is up for the challenge and Green Bay has their tradition behind them. It's their time. Final score will be GB 34-PITT 28."
Two-time NBA All-Star and
Dallas Mavericks forward
Caron Butler (pictured below) will be there for
Super Bowl XLV. The Racine, Wis., native and lifelong Packers fan told
Aol. Black Voices that he is predicting a 24-21 Green Bay victory over the Pittsburg Steelers Sunday and sees the same gritty brilliance in Aaron Rodger that he recalls
Brett Favre possessed during the 1997 season - the last year the storied Packers franchise won it all:
"I grew up as a huge Favre fan. You look at Aaron Rodgers and you look at Brett Favre, and you see the same charisma and confidence," said Butler, who spends the off-season with his family in Wisconsin.

"Aaron Rodgers is a head above the pack. We are going to see two of the best quarterbacks in the league face off at Cowboys Stadium, but Rodgers is coming out on top."
It's a tough call.
Pittsburgh safety
Troy Polamalu, the defensive player of the year, will be leading the team on defense against the fleet-footed
Big Ben Roethlisburger.
Polamalu's arsenal includes covering receivers in the secondary when other teams are passing, grabbing interceptions and making bone crunching tackles like a linebacker.
I have to agree with Butler and Green that Green Bay is going to win, mostly because of their awesome offense. Though I am pulling for Head Coach
Mike Tomlin to win for so many reasons, only a few of them are football related.
Final score: Green Bay 44-Pittsburgh 42
