Veni, Vidi, Vici

Defense wins championships, right? Nonsense. Quick counts (and please, Arizona, mix in the no-huddle offense) will prevail tomorrow in Super Bowl XLIII and counter Pittsburgh's stealthy pash rushing schemes.

Edgerrin James will average IV yards a carry; this is the key to keeping Troy Polamolu and Ryan Clark honest. Kurt Warner will throw for CCLXXV yards and IV touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald will catch II of them.

The Cardinals will steal a possession with a turnover and turn it into points. Ben Roethlisberger has been too lucky with the "extended pocket" miracle heaves that got cheap scores in the Steelers' playoff run. They won't happen Sunday. Cardinals will win outright XXXV-XXIV and put to rest the dominant defense myth.

Take Arizona and the points (VII last time I looked, but VI 1/2 on other venues) and the over (XLVII).

Happy Roman numeral day!

Dear Senatus Populusque Romanus,
Wish I knew the Latin for well said. I had to use a pony for the Aeneid. Good luck tomorrow.
