2011 Super Bowl: Packers Odds and Championship Traditions
When the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers square off at Dallas Cowboys Stadium this Sunday, the resulting Super Bowl will be one for the ages.

If the question is "What have you done for me lately?", then the Steelers have the more acceptable answer by today's standards. With two Super Bowl championships in the past five years (and an impressive six in total), the Steelers are a modern day NFL dynasty. All season long they, and specifically quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, have sought redemption after missing the postseason in 2009 and in the case of Roethlisberger, fighting a defaming legal battle. Will they manage to put the finishing touches on their return to the spotlight with a victory and upset in 2011 Super Bowl odds as underdogs? Only the final whistle will tell...
