Sundays super bowl is likely to be won by the team with the most rushing yardage. winning the battle of the line of scrimmage is as basic it gets, but its also a tried and true method for victory. Last season the Patriots won the rushing battle 112-45 in their 24-21 win over the Eagles. The year before, the Pats outrushed Carolina 127-92 on their way to the title. Even in their stunning upset of the Rams five years ago, the Patriots won the rushing battle against Marshall Faulk and their strong St. Louis offensive line, 133-90.

This super bowl is so interesting because both teams love to run the football behind mammoth offensive lines and bruising running backs like Jerome Bettis and rushing champ Shaun Alexander. Both coaches, too, Mike Holmgren and Bill Cowher, have a propensity to run the football and take away the opponents running game. Both offensive lines are solid.

seattle was third in the nfl averaging 153 yards rushing per game, while Pittsburgh was fifth averaging 139 yards per game. In the all important yards per carry, seattle averaged 4.7 yards (second) while the steelers averaged 4 yards per pop (12th).

One aspect of the game that could be key is that seattle has faced only one good team all season (Dallas) that ran a 3-4 defense. So does Pittsburgh. In that game against the Cowboys, Shaun Alexander had his worst game of the season with 61 yards rushing on 21 carries. seattle needed a late miracle in the final minute, and a timely Drew Bledsoe turnover, to win that game 13-10. You can bet the Seahawks have watched game film of that one again to try and figure out what they did wrong and what adjustments they need to make. Pittsburghs run-stuffers and quick, aggressive linebackers are as good as any in the league, and better than the Cowboys!

The Cowboys continually controlled the line of scrimmage by putting as many as nine defenders within 4 yards of the ball, even on passing downs. The seattle offense, averaging 407 yards coming in to that game, finished with 289. In addition, QB matt Hasselbeck was 23-of-42 for 224 yards, with one TD and two interceptions. Hell likely have to put up better numbers than that Sunday if seattle is going to win a championship. Notice that Dallas RB Marion Barber ran for 95 yards on 22 carries in Julius Jones' place. The steelers would love to repeat that kind of production with Jerome Bettis or Willie Anderson.

One final thought is the explosive war or words thats been going on. seattle TE Jerramy Stevens took a foolish shot at Bettis, after which Pittsburgh LB Joey Porter retorted, I think we can go out there and beat them. Porter also added, "I've got my first taste of blood, and now I'm thirsty for more. Does anyone smell FIREWORKS? Said Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren when asked about the rhetoric between the two players, "You won't hear Jerramy say any more about it the rest of the week. Which means he told Stevens to keep his yap shut! Enjoy the game, and remember that the dog has covered 4 straight super Bowls, with three of the last four decided by a field goal.

golf is becoming an increasingly popular sport worldwide, but it is estimated that there are 27,000 golf injuries every year that require hospital treatment and that millions of dollars worth of equipment is stolen. Yet an independent survey claims that 9 out of 10 golfers have insufficient golf insurance.

Ask yourself this question, could you afford to be sued should you cause damage to third party property or injure an individual with a stray golf ball?

It is important to remember that not all incidents could be the fault of the golf player. There are many golfers on a course at the same time, many being amateurs, as golf is becoming the new up and coming sport and there are new members on the courses that wish to start playing. It is easy for someone to get in the line of fire when you are taking your shot, resulting in a possible injury. Also many golf courses are close to public property, or are surrounded by hotel complexes for instance when abroad, it could be possible to cause damage to such property.

A majority of people wrongly believe that their household contents insurance covers their golfing equipment. In many cases, this is not true. A large quantity of household insurance policies exclude sports equipment and sports injury cover, which means that if anything should occur either on or off the course, you would be held financially responsible.

Reliable coverage against theft, loss or damage to your golfing equipment, damage to property and personal injury is highly important. The fact of the matter is that golf can be a very expensive game if it goes wrong when you dont have the correct insurance cover. Remember, the more golf you play without sufficient insurance, the greater the risk.

All golfers, regardless of ability, run the risk of injuring another person while out on the course playing golf. The last thing you want is to be on the golf course, achieving those pars, birdies and eagles that you long for, but having that uneasy sensation in the back of your mind that you dont have sufficient golf insurance coverage.

So, if you think that your insurance policy provides sufficient protection for your equipment used for golf and public liability cover for golf sport injury, please think again and check the policy wording very carefully;

Does it protect your golf equipment from theft, loss or damage, 24 hours a day, anywhere worldwide;

Does it provide you with cover for playing golf on any golf course or driving range anywhere worldwide;

If you are covered, can you make a claim without adversely affecting your premiums or No Claims discount;

Does it cover your golf equipment if lost or stolen whilst left unattended?

Very few household policies provide adequate cover and making a claim usually results in a premium increase and a reduction in your No Claims discount allowance. So remember, if you dont have the correct golf insurance coverage, make sure to check it out!
