This is from the Ravens site, but I did hear him say this on ESPN's PTI

Peter King: Steelers will win Super Bowl

The first far-out prediction of the summer is upon us. In Sports Illustrated's 2010 NFL preview issue that goes on newstands Thursday, Peter King predicts the Steelers will beat the Packers in this season's Super Bowl, 33-27.

He has the Ravens finishing second in the AFC North at 9-7, but beating out the Bengals for a playoff berth. Then he has the Ravens losing to the Jets, 20-16, in the wild-card round.

The Steelers are going to be without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for at least four games, and possibly six, and likely will have Byron Leftwich as his replacement in the interim.

wtf we are doomed

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Oh man that's hilarious. I have a hard time seeing the Steelers make the playoffs. If they can manage without Ben, Polamalu stays healthy, and their offensive line plays well above expectations they could make the playoffs, but super bowl? What is Peter smoking?

I like Peter King and I think his pick has more to do with lack of strong teams in the AFC and past team history than anything else. Pittsburgh is a team that was just recently in the Super Bowl and they have a lot to prove this year. Seriously though, look at the other teams in the AFC:

EAST - Jets have a lot of bravado but can it transfer to the field? Patriots are getting old and injured. I don't know shit about the Dolphins. And the Bills will probably suck lol.

NORTH - Ravens seem like they are one of the true strong contenders in the conference. Steelers. Bengals might have a chance. Browns I think will get better than last season but there's not a lot of talent on that roster.

SOUTH - Colts. Manning. Everyone knows that story. Titans are pretty one-dimensional: decent defense and Chris Johnson. They'll be good but not great. Jaguars I don't know much about either but don't seem to impressive. Texans I think will be good this year, I've always liked them. They have four potential pro-bowl players on defense alone and an amazing offense with possible the best WR in the league.

WEST - There's the Chargers and everyone else. Really not much to say here.

So what teams would file in as possibilities if you had to pick 5? Chargers, Colts, Ravens and ...?

Jets, Colts, Ravens are the SB favorites from AFC. I don't think the Chargers will make it to the AFC Championship game this year, their OL is in shambles, they have a weak defense and Vincent Jackson is holding out.

If the Jets are Super Bowl favorites this year, it must be in spite of Mark Sanchez, not because of him.

Couldn't agree more. But Shonn & LT will tear it up with that O-Line, and their defense is just wow if Revis gets back.

Peter King even admits in his MMQB when he made that prediciton that he hasn't been correct in picking a Super Bowl winner since the Lombardi days. It's as good as the Madden curse.

Pittsburgh will not make the playoffs

The strongest team in the AFC in my opinion (for what it's worth) are the Ravens.

I still don't get all the Jets love either. I truly believe they were a one off last season.

beast (15m) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (16m) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (26m) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (38m) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (47m) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (1h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (1h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (1h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (2h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (2h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (2h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (3h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (3h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (4h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (4h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (5h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (5h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (5h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (5h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (5h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (5h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (5h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (5h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (5h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (5h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (5h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (5h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (5h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (5h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (5h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (5h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (5h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (5h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (5h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (6h) : Packers will get in

beast (6h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (6h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (6h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (7h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (9h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (9h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (9h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (19h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings
