| Pittsburgh | Jason Cole | As tempting as it is to pick the Cardinals, it's hard to go against Pittsburgh's defense. As fast as Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner is with the ball, the Steelers are just as fast getting there. | |
| Michael Silver | Arizona | After rolling with the Cardinals as underdogs three times in these playoffs, did you really think I'd give up on them before the biggest game of all? That's right, I'm changing my pick: Arizona over Pittsburgh on a Warner to Boldin TD pass. | |
