OK, I was wrong about Arizona this weekend.  Now Im a believer!  This is a different animal with the defense playing decent and the offense clicking on all cylinders.  The Super Bowl will be played in decent weather in Miami.  As much as I respect the Pittsburgh defense I believe that Arizona is a team of destiny.  Cardinals to the bank!
 
ARIZONA CARDINALS +6.5
 
Over 47

People been saying that before every playoff game & he just lights them up, this game will be no different!

Um, the Eagles almost have the same amount of sacks that Pitt does on the year.  Oh, and Pitt has allowed a better completion percentage that Philly.

Point is, you can't come with a ton of pressure because you have to cover the best TRIO of WR's in the NFL...

This should be a very interesting super bowl , Arizona hasnt faced a defense like Pitts..................Pitt hasnt faced an offense like Arizona............I remember this is similar to the 1999-2000 super bowl that the St. Louis Rams won.

I have a hard time seeing AZ scoring that many pts against Pitt D.

 

Remember, Pitt has 2 weeks to prepare for this Offense and in the NFL that spells trouble for AZ. You can't give Dick Lebeau two week baby. Not a steeler fan, but Lebeau will eat you up with 2 weeks to get ready. This break kills AZ.

 

I see Pitt winning this game 24-16.

Ok found Az -7 and the total at 46.5.  Added 6 point teaser:

Cardinals +13

over 40.5

 

BigUnit says:

Ken will have 2 weeks to prepare for the Steelers.  He will devise a plan to take care of them.  As I said before Arizona has turned into a different animal and the defense has handled the Eagles, Panthers and Falcons offense effectively to allow the potent offense to do its job.  Arizona seems to relish being a dog in every game.  I wouldnt be surprised to see them win outright, but I will play the points.

numbersbuster says:
01/20/09 10:14AM

I think I disagree with this.  If you can get Az+7 right now I think you have to take it.  I have a feeling it will reach 6 by gametime, as people realize the tremendous opportunity Az presents here.

Like that teaser, but if you cash with a tie & W, would like a 7ptr better even with the extra juice. AZ +14 & Over 39.5 - GL

i'LL BE OFF TO VEGAS THUR. EVE.  I WANT TO FUCK, DRINK, PLAY CRAPS, B-JACK AND HAVE A CRAZY TIME.

 

MY MAIN THRILL IS WHEN I COLLECT ALL THE MONEY I HAVE ON PITT.!

 

 

FOR THE LEMMINGS ALL OVER AZ, YOU DESERVE WHATEVER PITT DISHES OUT TO YOU.

I agree all u mops betting AZ now is laughable.   This will be 8- by kickoff.  If anyone thinks AZ is scoring 21+ is not that smart.  This defense will keep them out of the endzone unless they are getting flagged for PI in the endzone.  Pitt will force turnovers and take advantage of a short field and cash in.  Christmas has come early gents I hope you locked in at 6-, if not I still wouldn't be that concerned.

the only reason for the over in this game is the pitts defence to much fumbles and interceptions i dont see arizona can made points with 2 players warner and fittz.
enjoy the game pitts all the time.

I do think the total will be higher though, barring thunderstorms, etc.

Last week I would have won both games if I had gone strictly by my numbers formula.  Instead I went with a gut feeling and took the Eagles even though I showed Arizona covering the number.  This week my numbers formula shows Arizona winning the game outright!  Therefore the 7 points is a gift.

Please have fun in my town (Las Vegas).  Remember to use protection and I do wish you luck with the table games.  However if you are expecting your bet on the Steelers to cover your losses you might be disappointed!

BigUnit says:

Thanks Doubleup and Sportslady! 
BigUnit says:

I am adding a Super Bowl prop:

First red flag call overturned (+105)

I think the coaches wont be frivilous in using the red flag in this big game!

Have been watching these posts and laughing. I think arguements can be made from all sides. 

 

Personally, I think Arizona's offense should be able to move the ball through the air vs Pitt...albeit very slowly.  There is no way they run the ball against this D, but Pitt's aggression leaves them vunerable to Warner's 5-10 yd slants and crossing routs against a blitzing defensive front.  Th only problem, is that NY and Carolina showed us that the extra week off frequently hurts an offensive rhythmn.

 

That being said, I see Pitt being able to move the ball relatively easily against a suspect Zona D (with or without Hines Ward)...which although has been playing VERY well the last 3-4 weeks, can still be taken advantage of (as we saw in the 2nd Half of the Philly game).  Big Ben will have a feild day against weak 1 on 1 coverage if Zona stacks the box to stop Willie Parker.  I think the more physical Pitt team begins to wear Zona down in the 2nd half.

 

If anything, this game is "closest" at the Half.  In the end, Im playing the over (1st Half and game totals), with Pitt winning outright and covering the number.  Although 7-7.5 pt's is tempting, I think this is only a "possibility" with a backdoor cover, and may take a Proposition that Pitt blows this open ( > 14 pt victory).

 

Good Luck to all
