STAN MUSIAL Baseball Hall of Famer |
Pittsburgh. |
JACK NICKLAUS Golf Hall of Famer |
Pittsburgh, 27-24. I am an AFC guy because of my longtime support of the Miami Dolphins. Even though I have always been a big fan of the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers, I still have to go with the AFC. |
ARNOLD PALMER Golf Hall of Famer |
Pittsburgh, 28-14. The Steelers have a very good team and a great bunch of guys. Terrific defense and lots of experience in big games. |

Pittsburgh by a hare (it’s the Year of the Rabbit, you know). |
KEITH URBAN Country music star |
Green Bay. I think they’re both obviously fantastic teams. I’d like to see the Packers win, just to be a nice moment. I have a lot of friends in Wisconsin. |
MARK WAHLBERG Actor and producer |
Not the Patriots, so I don’t care. |
JOE MANTEGNA Actor, “Criminal Minds” |
Green Bay, 24-21. As a Bears fan, it’s hard to pick the Packers, but I respect any team that plays normally outdoors in zero weather. |

Pittsburgh, 24-10. Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger is 2-0 vs. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, who is much less experienced and suffered several injuries. |

Green Bay, 24-17. They’re both good teams, but I just think the Packers are better this year and I like Aaron Rodgers. |

Green Bay, 31-21. I just think they have the attitude that this is “our time.” |

Pittsburgh, 21-17. One year I was playing outside of Pittsburgh. I couldn’t get to the job. The town went wild. They had to hold the show because the Steelers won. To me, they’re just always winners. |
CAL RIPKEN JR. Baseball Hall of Famer |
Green Bay, 27-24. They’re both really solid teams. Hard to pick. End of the day the edge goes to the Packers’ offense by a slight margin. |

Pittsburgh. |
MIKE HAYDEN Former CIA director |
Pittsburgh, 23-17. What a matchup. Historic NFL franchises. Great defenses. Quarterbacks who can escape the rush. My head says it’s a tossup. My heart says Steelers. Either way, ya gotta love the fact that this game features teams with no cheerleaders and two of the smallest TV markets in the NFL! |
PENN & TELLER Magicians |
Pittsburgh, 33-24. Taking Obama’s State of the Union to heart, Packers decide the first step in “winning the future” is “losing the present.” |

JIMMIE JOHNSON Five-time defending NASCAR Sprint Cup champion |
Pittsburgh, 31-28. I lived in Wisconsin for a while and followed the Packers, but I’m picking the Steelers because of Bill Cowher. I always respected him and the way he coached. I started liking the Steelers because of him and I’m sticking with them for the Super Bowl. |

Green Bay, 24-15. I’ve got to go with Green Bay since Aaron Rodgers is from Cal and I root for the Pac-10. |
