Defend Your Super Bowl Pick In Five Words

With the NFL playoffs starting this weekend, I asked some of sports blogging and social media's elite to give me their pick for Super Bowl champion, and defend it in five words. The term "unstoppable" is used to describe at least two teams in this post - also, the pythagorean theorem is referenced.

WHY WILL THE PACKERS REPEAT?
