Corey Beaulieu Picks His Superbowl Winner

This weekend ahead of the Superbowl we're running a contest where you could win tickets to the Big 4 concert or the Mayhem Festival, as well as iPods, CDs, and more. Head over to our Facebook page for details. Keep in mind if you're subscribed to our email list you double your chances.

Trivium's guitaris Corey Beaulieu offers his Superbowl pick here:

"I was leaning towards Pittsburgh at first, but with Rodgers and the packers defense, I think the Steelers will have a hard time with their offensive line losing a key member with Pouncey and also Polamalu not being 100% . I think it will be a close game and since both teams have dominate defenses it will prevent a blowout. I think the edge goes to the Packers. Unless Big Ben can pull out another clutch drive or big play like he did against the Arizona Cardinals I think the packers win a close one.

 

Final Score :

Green Bay Packers- 27

Pittsburgh Steelers- 24"
