Arizona 30...Pittsburgh 21
I think Cards are gonna win by about that much. Cards will get some quick strikes,Pitt will probably get a fumble/int return for a TD. I think Cards will tooo though. Pitt may get a couple Td's on offense. But I see Ben making couple bad throws that loses the game.
Ben will heretofore no longer be known as where I guess he's known as that only in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh - 31 Cardinals - 13
Why? Because I think the Steelers are a much better team. Fitzgerald will be taken out of this game - he won't get over 100 receiving yards. Fortunately, Pittsburgh has the speed on defense to be creative in neutralizing him. The Steelers secondary has become one of the biggest strengths on this team. Ike, Bryant McFadden, Deshea Townsend, and William Gay are all good CB's. Obviously, the safety tandem is lethal.
Warner has a knack for fumbling in the pocket. James Harrison is one of the best at getting pressure on a QB and knocking the ball out. I think you'll see this once or twice. This Steelers front seven is too talented to not get pressure on Warner. He's not the same QB under pressure. They'll hit him hard, fast, and early.
Arizona definitely just will not be able to run the ball. Edge has had a little bit of a revival, but he will do nothing against this run defense. A one-dimensional team against the Steelers defense is a bad team. It just won't work out all that well.
On offense, the Steelers will play methodically. I think the Cardinals will have trouble stopping a fresh Willie Parker. I'm thinking FWP might have an MVP-type game. Ben will play mistake-free football. He will have a solid game. If he doesn't turn the ball over the Steelers will win. Pittsburgh will pound the run, hit the Cardinals with play-action. Rodgers-Cromartie will get burnt a few times.
