For the hell of it, let's add in offense:

GB: #2 def, #9 off
PITT: #1 def, #11 off
NY: #6 def, #12 off
CHI: #4 def, #21 off

Considering that New York is a weaker team all around compared to Pittsburgh and that the game is in Pittsburgh, it's really hard to argue in favor of the Jets. I mean, you have momentum, I guess, but everything else points to a Steeler victory.

Also, Chicago has a terrible offense yet still manages to get into the NFC championship. Of course, they only had to beat the Seahawks with a defense ranked #25 and offense ranked #23. Then again, Seattle did beat Nawlins at #10 offense and #7 defense. That's the only broken game, and it's broken all around. Jets (#6 def, #12 off) beat Indy (#23, #4) with a better defense and a weaker offense. Baltimore (#3, #16) beat KC (#11, #14) with a better defense and a weaker offense. Jets beat the Pats with -- you guessed it -- a better defense at #6 versus #8 and a weaker offense at #12 versus #1.

Odds on favorite here is that the better defense will win. Offense has a pretty miserable track record when it comes to predicting the winners of playoff games.

Indeed it does, and while that is quite impressive, they all have good defenses. So one being a bit "better" (ranked that is) won't guarantee victory/loss, obviously. Offense does also play a bit of a role 

I am not making this comparison for the sake of it....but despite the Giants 07 run people still don't seem to believe in momentum. The Jets are on a barreling bus at the moment, and playing for a coach who they honestly love.
A miracle to get rings? They already beat the Colts in their house.

A beat up team? Fine, they beat Brady and the Pats, in their house, while they were on top of their game. And really, made it look kind of easy. Wasn't much of a struggle, and those points put up on the end were semi junk time for the Jets. A good number of people in the NY area seem to think the miracle has been done already....

All props to the Steelers, but after that run...what is there to fear in the Steelers? Or any team?
They are currently in a place where numbers and stats be damned, they are going out to beat you.
As much as I hate saying this....same can be said for the Bears. No one really expects them to win, myself included.
Does this not have big potential for upset? Especially for a team that's gone way farther then anyone expected.

These should all be good games.
And defense wins championships without doubt, but you do need to score points as well lol

If we get a Packers/Jets SB I honestly would not be sure who to go for, I'd be happy with both.

The Jets for obvious reasons but the Pack because I like them this year and think it'd be great to see Rodgers get a SB. Favre tanked so hard all the Rodgers/Favre sh*t died, but still....after all that I wouldn't mind seeing him win one.

Besides, I hate Cutler and the Steelers have enough

Brady is a great QB as it was said, but he is not the God he's thought of, and it's proven that damn system they run is more important then the QB. Remember Matt Cassle? Not a knock him, but not started a game since HS to right off the bench and leading an NFL team to that much success? No, sorry. And while I've been a casual fan, the way the Jets have played the last 2 seasons and their mentality I think has made me a legit fan. Enh, not even worth commenting. Haters gon hate, etc.     Cheaters gonna cheat

How wonderfully original.

Man I hope the Packers win the SB.

Since we are speaking of Pouncey and centers... they showed an amazing stat during one of our games this year and had to track it down again.  I'm sure everyone knows that the Steelers have only had 3 head coaches since 1969 but even more impressively the Steelers only had 3 starting centers from 1974-2006.
