Thomas Morstead picks Pittsburgh Steelers as Super Bowl winner

New Orleans Saints Super Bowl winner Thomas Morstead has picked his Super Bowl winner, ahead of the two games on Championship Sunday.

The punter was a rookie when the Saints lifted the Vince Lombardi trophy back in 2010, beating the Indianapolis Colts 31-17.

This year, the Green Bay Packers play the Atlanta Falcons, before the New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Championship round, with all four teams vying for a place in next month's showpiece event.

Morstead believes that this year's winner is going to come from the AFC.

"I am going to go with the Pittsburgh Steelers", Morstead said, speaking after his guest appearance on last week's show.

How the Steelers reach the Super Bowl

Sky Sports previews the Pittsburgh Steelers' strengths, ahead of Championship Sunday.

"I said before last weekend that I thought whoever won out of the Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs could beat the New England Patriots, and I stick by that.

"I just think the Steelers are so good right now and, barring any crazy injuries, they are primed to go in and get a win on the road at New England."

The eight-year veteran also picked his NFC Champion.

"I'm a Saint, so I can't be pulling for the Falcons. I think that Aaron Rodgers can get the Packers back to the Super Bowl. They went on the road against Dallas, and can do it again at Atlanta."
