In the Super Bowl XLIII matchup between the Steelers and Cardinals _ one team trying to become the most prolific ever and the other who’s been arguably the most disappointing _ black-and-gold will reign supreme. So says a simulation by EA SPORTS, the computer gurus who bring you Madden NFL 09.

According to the gamers, Pittsburgh will gut out an unprecedented sixth Super Bowl title 28-24, holding off a late fourth quarter rally. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw three touchdowns and was named the Super Bowl MVP, while 36-year-old Mike Tomlin _ who we think looks like Omar Epps _ became the youngest coach in history to win a Super Bowl. And remember, this is for entertainment purposes only.

According to the game, the Steelers led 21-7 at halftime and 28-14 after the third quarter, and Santonio Holmes’ second TD catch. The Cards _ whose last NFL title came in 1947 _ got a 15-yard score from WR Larry Fitzgerald and a field goal with 3:15 left, but it wasn’t enough.

I can only assume the game did not include Anquan Boldin throwing any hissy fits on the sideline. And remember, we’re not telling you to lay your mortgage on the Steelers. If you bet your car note, that’s on you….
