Local gridiron fans make their Super Bowl picks

I’m going for the Steelers on this one. I just want Jerome Bettis to get one and they had a rough road in the playoffs but still beat the top teams from the AFC. They were at the bottom of the list with other teams from the AFC and they pulled some upsets. I think they’re heading in the right track.

I’m going with the Seahawks. It’s all because I think Shaun Alexander is going to have a big game and he will be the difference for Seattle.

I’m sticking with the Seahawks on this one. They’re the underdogs and I like to go with the underdogs. Nobody really expected the Seahawks to go that far and they’re there. I know its Jerome Bettis’ last game, but I’m still hoping the Seahawks will win. It will be something big especially since Seattle has never won a Super Bowl.

James Lee
Basketball player

After beating the Colts, I think the Steelers are going to take this. I’m not a big fan of either teams, but I just have a feeling that fans in Pittsburgh are going to have a good time and will have a lot to be happy about after the game.

Seahawks all the way! They are the underdogs and I like the underdog teams.

I haven’t really been following football since my team didn’t make it, but I’m rooting for Seattle because they’re the underdogs and because I like their running game.

Robin Sapong
Athletics coach

I think the Steelers are going to win. I like their chances and I see them as a strong and ready team.

Nard Bantolino
Gas attendant

I’m going for the Seahawks, but only because most of my boys are going for the team.

Cuki Alvarez
Trench Tech-Purebred Saipan

It’s a tough pick since I’m not a big fan of either teams, but I think the Seahawks are going to steal this one. Seattle has a coach that I’m confident in and I think they’ll do just enough to win the game and the championship.

Ed Fejeran
DJ

I’m not really sure but most of my friends are going for the Steelers so I’ll pick the Steelers to win this one.

Frances Pabico
Cashier

For the Super Bowl, I’m going for the Steelers. I think they’re going to win with their defense and also because of their strong quarterback.

Ben Jones
Multi-sport athlete

I’m more into basketball but because most of my friends are going for the Steelers, so for me, I think they’re going to win.

Jun Camacho
Department store employee

I’m going for the Steelers on this one. I just think they’re going to win it all.

Ronie Bunao
Water bottling employee

I’m going for the Steelers. They haven’t been there in a while and now they’re making a return, so I hope they can do it. I think they deserve it.

Arnold Balisalisa
Fast food restaurant employee

Steelers. I watched them and they got one player there with a long hair who is very flexible in moving around. So I think he’s gonna give all that he got for this one.

Maj. Franklin Babauta.
U.S. Army Reservist

I think Seattle is going to win. I’m not really a big fan of the game, but with many people I know going for the Steelers, I decided to pick the Seahawks. They’re the underdogs so that’s another reason.
