Online betting on super bowl picks offers an endless ocean of fun ways to approach betting on Super Bowl XLIII. Where do you start? Do you break down the O-lines? The receiving corps? There’s no right or wrong answer. For today, let’s examine the coaching matchup.

Mike Tomlin, a former defensive backs coach, is a big reason why the Steelers are so strong against the pass. He may be young at age 36, but he seems to have his players’ ears consistently. While much of Pittsburgh’s vicious pass rush is attributed to defensive co-ordinator Dick LeBeau’s “Blitzburgh,” anyone who follows online betting on super bowl news should remember that Tomlin is the driving force behind Pittsburgh’s superb secondary.

Ken Whisenhunt brings a special advantage to online betting on super bowl analysis as the Cards’ head coach. Not only is he an offense-first coach who specializes in calling trick plays, he also served as the offensive co-ordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2005 Super Bowl betting championship run. He knows the Steelers offense and, namely, Ben Roethlisberger intimately. He’ll likely put heat on Roethlisberger throughout the Super Bowl line and force Big Ben to make plays.

Pittsburgh probably has the overall depth and talent advantage in the Super Bowl XLIII odds, but Arizona looks to have the coaching leg up based on Whisenhunt’s past.
