Mike McCarthy vs. Mike Tomlin. Aaron Rodgers vs. Ben Roethlisberger. Packers defense vs. Steelers defense. Dom Capers vs. Dick Lebeau. Who's going to decide Super Bowl XLV?

Lil' Wayne vs. Snoop Dogg.

The two notable rappers are Packers and Steelers fans, respectively. With all of the articles being posted on ESPN, Sports Illustrated, CBS Sports, or the NFL, what more could I possibly tell you that would provide further insight to the most watched television event this year? Well, not a whole lot except for my thoughts on who will win. But more on that later. 

So, what better way to decide it than let the song titles do the talking.

Lil' Wayne's first album Tha Carter provides the most evidence the Packers will win with his song "Bring It Back." Obviously, Lil' Wayne could be referring to nothing but the Lombardi Trophy. Since the Packers won the first two Super Bowls under legendary head coach Vince Lombardi, the Packers have only won one other Super Bowl--XXXI. The Lombardi Trophy belongs in Titletown, and the Packers will bring it back.

Snoop Dogg counters with his cameo appearance on DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win." While, Snoop loses some points for it not being his own song, the message of the song is clear. Perhaps, Snoop had the Steelers in mind when he agreed to lay down a few rhymes for this track, but the title of the song is clear and the Steelers did win more games than the Packers this year.

Advantage: Push

Lil Wayne's next song "Knockout" on the Rebirth album has a surprising tie to the Packers 2010 season. Over the course of the season the Packers knocked out one starting quarterback, two head coaches, and the three top seeds in the NFC Playoffs.

The Packers defense set the tone for their 2010 season by knocking out Kevin Kolb in week 1 of the NFL season. Obviously, the Eagles plugged in Michael Vick, who performed better than Kolb ever could have done, but the Packers defense got started off on the right foot. 

Furthermore, the Packers caused two teams to fire their head coaches after embarrassing them in back-to-back weeks. In week 9, the Packers dismantled the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, 45-7, causing Jerry Jones to fire Wade Phillips. 

Just two weeks later, following their bye, the Packers beat the archrival Vikings 31-3, which caused the firing of Brad Childress.

After two straight must-win games against the Giants and Bears in weeks 16 and 17, the Packers blew through the playoffs beating the no. 3 seed Eagles, no. 1 seed Falcons, and no. 2 seed Bears.

KNOCKOUT.

Snoop Dogg counters with his old, but classic hit, "Drop It Like Its Hot." What could Snoop be referring to but the Steelers hard-hitting defense forcing fumbles.

The Steelers were second in the NFL in forced fumbles with 28 fumbles, recovering 14 of them. James Harrison, the poster boy for NFL's new policy in issuing fines to protect hits on the quarterback, led the team with 6 forced fumbles followed by LaMarr Woodley, who had three forced fumbles. However, none of these forced fumbles may be bigger than the strip-sack fumble caused by Ike Taylor on Mark Sanchez in the AFC Championship game. William Gay recovered the fumble and returned it for a touchdown giving the Steelers the insurmountable 24-0 lead. The Steelers didn't score in the second half and won 24-19 to advance to the Super Bowl. 

You can bet that the Steelers will be coming after Aaron Rodgers or going for the strip after Packer receivers catch the ball, while hoping the Packers drop the football like it's hot.

Advantage: Slight Lil' Wayne.

Lil' Wayne's third song that gives evidence for a Packers victory is his single "On Fire" on the Rebirth album. The Packers weren't the best team this season in the NFC as evidenced by the sixth seed in the playoffs. However, they do come into the Super Bowl as arguably the hottest team in the NFL. As I mentioned before, the Packers won two must-win games at the end of the regular season just to GET IN to the playoffs. Then, they rampaged their way through the NFC playoffs with a signature 48-21 dismantling of the first-seeded Falcons in the Georgia Dome, only Matt Ryan's third loss at home in his career. 

Not only are the Packers one of the hottest teams, but Aaron Rodgers certainly is one of the hottest quarterbacks coming into Super Bowl XLV. After putting up 45 points in last season's Wild Card loss at Arizona, Rodgers proceeded to throw for over 500 yards and 6 passing touchdowns, 1 rushing touchdown, and no interceptions in the first two games of this season's playoffs. 

Even though Rodgers didn't play his greatest game against the Bears in the Conference Championship, rushing for one touchdown but throwing two interceptions, Rodgers and Packers are literally on fire.

Snoop counters with his "Pass It Pass It" song from his R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece album. 

Much has been made of the Steelers 37-36 win at Heinz Field against the Packers last season. In that game, Roethlisberger threw for 503 yards including the game winning touchdown with no time left to Mike Wallace. The Steelers did anything they wanted through the air in that game as they did pass it and pass it some more all over the field. 

However, the Packers defense has changed mightily from last season including being the top rated defense against quarterbacks with a defensive quarterback rating of 64.3. Tramon Williams has really come into his own as a Pro Bowl cornerback and that includes three interceptions in the playoffs. Not to mention, undrafted rookie Sam Shields had two interceptions against the Bears last week, including one to save a touchdown and another that saved the game. 

The improved cornerback play from last year has allowed Dom Capers to be more liberal in releasing Charles Woodson on blitzes, dropping him down into run defense, or leaving him in coverage as another safety. 

The fact of the matter is, Roethlisberger won't be throwing for 503 yards again in Super Bowl XLV. 

Advantage: Slight Lil' Wayne.

Lil' Wayne slight victory over Snoop Dogg=Packers slight victory over Steelers. 

While this method is about as reliable as simulating Super Bowl XLV on a Madden 2011 video game, this game has all the makings for one of the greatest Super Bowls in history. With two of the most storied franchises, rabid fan bases, and rosters filled with perennial Pro Bowlers, this game will almost certainly surpass the television ratings record established in last year's Super Bowl pitting the Indianapolis Colts against the New Orleans Saints. 

The Packers have Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, Clay Matthews, Charles Woodson, and B.J. Raji while the Steelers have Ben Roethlisberger, Rashard Mendenhall, Hines Ward, James Harrison, and Troy Polamalu. 

So, who wins?

I think the Packers do just enough on offense using the Patriots "spread 'em out" blueprint that allowed them to beat the Steelers 39-26 in week 10 of the regular season. Rodgers has a lightning quick release and will use the short pass to Jennings, Donald Driver, James Jones, or Jordy Nelson as the Packers running game. Using four wide receivers will also somewhat neutralize what Troy Polamalu does best: dropping back into coverage and reading the quarterback's eyes to make the big interception or big hit. The Packers quick passing game can also limit the hits on Aaron Rodgers from the Steelers dominant front seven. 

On the other side of the ball, I think the Packers can take advantage of a weak Steelers offensive line as they have been taking advantage of offensive lines throughout the playoffs. The Packers have 10 sacks in three games in the playoffs including three and a half from runner-up Defensive Player of the Year Clay Matthews. The improved secondary with Williams and Shields along with Nick Collins and Charlie Peprah will be able to neutralize the big play from Roethlisberger that was so common in last year's 37-36 defeat.

What kind of Packers blogger would I be if I didn't pick them to win Super Bowl XLV and their first appearance in 13 years?

Packers 27, Steelers 23
