With the big game less than a week away, there’s been a lot of talk about which really is the better team. While it’s difficult to say with any level of certainty that the Steelers or the Packers are in fact the superior squad, there are some things we can all agree on: cold, hard facts. The graphic below illustrates some of the more interesting football- and non-football-related facts and figures about the Badger State and the Keystone State. And while, the answer to the question, ‘who will reign supreme this Sunday?’ may not be answerable as a result of this information, it certainly provides some food for thought, especially when it comes to your tax return. Definitely feel free to comment on which team/state you think is superior, and why.
