Betting on Super Bowl 43 is as fun as it is complicated; there are a million different angles you can bet, including the Super Bowl 43 line, Super Bowl betting props or the Super Bowl spread. Today, let’s examine potential surprise heroes in betting on Super Bowl 43.

Not only can an unsung hero influence your MVP pick in Super Bowl betting props, but he can also significantly impact the final result of the game. While the offensive superstars are getting the press, I think betting on Super Bowl 43 could come down to whichever team makes mistakes at crucial moments.

For that reason, I think James Harrison and Troy Polamalu could have as big an impact on betting on Super Bowl 43 as anyone. The Cardinals’ line has been outstanding in the playoffs, allowing just three sacks in three games, but it hasn’t faced a pass rush like Pittsburgh’s. If Harrison, who was fourth in the NFL with 16 sacks this season, can put heat on Kurt Warner, it could force him into bad throws. A bad throw could mean an interception – and maybe even a score – for Polamalu, who was second in the NFL with seven picks this season.

On offense, Nate Washington won’t draw the same attention as Hines Ward or Santonio Holmes and his deep speed gives him a chance to explode for a long TD. Those betting on Super Bowl 43 could think of him as a good long-shot bet.

Note that the three unsung hero picks here are Steelers; they have more proven, “big-game” playmakers and that could be the difference in betting on Super Bowl 43.
