I like the Cardinals, the computer likes the Steelers

I'd like to see the Arizona Cardinals win the Super Bowl.

They have a great story: A hapless franchise makes good and does it in year where they clinched their division in early December, then proceeded to fall apart before going an uncanny playoff run. The franchise hasn't won a title since it played in Chicago in 1947 and the team has never played in a Super Bowl.

But what do I know?

Our game forecast simulator is pretty confident the Pittsburgh Steelers will win Super Bowl XLIII.

And it's pretty much inline with the Vegas odds makers. In more than 10,000 simulations the game forecaster is has the Steelers winning with an average score of 27.1-20.6.

It also has the Steelers winning 68 percent of the games. There are also breakdowns for key players.

Still, I'll go with my gut. It told me the Patriots would beat Kurt Warner's 14-point favorite Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI, and they did.

So give me the Cardinals 27-23.
