lol, gd luck with the ticket hunting

Cheeky play alert Boldin longest reception Under 21.5 Yards Bet365 4/5

Pitts allow very few 20 yards plus throws anyway, let alone to the number 2 wr. If anyone gets a big reception, its fitz. Worth a dabble unless i review the stats and decide to leave it alone

I can't see the Steelers getting beat, they are in top form and for me its not will they win but how much will they win.

Looks like i'm a minority of one.
I like the Cardinals + 7 and my money will be down.
Here's the reasoning.
They will restrict the oppositions rushing game (as in their last 3 games).
They will put 30+ points on the board (as in their last 3 games).
The game is being played in Tampa in a forecast 16 degrees.
Larry Fitzgerald can score on any team even when double covered.
The cards coach Ken Whisenhunt was the offensive coordinator for the steelers when their rushing attack improved from a rank of 31st to 2nd in his first year.

A Cards shock for me too. I reckon they will still catch the Steelers great D with a few long receptions and hit the Steelers offense themselves.

Thanks to Sporting Index for this trading preview on the Super Bowl.

An awesome day for sports fans and spread bettors alike is crowned by Super Bowl XLIII on Sunday evening (2320 GMT), matching the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Arizona Cardinals in Tampa, Florida. Both teams have an opportunity to make history, as Pittsburgh will be gunning for their sixth Super Bowl, an NFL record, while Arizona are hoping to win their first. Pittsburgh start as 7-point favourites, but sellers of their supremacy will be pleased that only one of the last nine teams who have started the Super Bowl as 7-point favourites or more have gone on to beat the spread. Looking at the last time the teams faced each other in September 2007 will add further doubt to buyers – Arizona won 21-14.

Spread betting buyers and sellers of total match points, currently predicted to be 45-48, will notice that the total points tally in the match last September was a lowly 35, but may also be aware of the season averages of the two sides. Pittsburgh averaged just 21.7 points in the regular season (ranked 22nd in the league), but jumped to 29 points post-season. Arizona scored significantly higher, adding further encouragement to the buyers of their win index at 25-28pts (25 pts for the win plus 1pt per point scored), averaging 26.7 points in the regular season and 31.7 post-season, albeit arguably in a weaker division. Taking a look at previous Super Bowls, the average total points score is 46.9 over the last ten years, but both buyers and sellers should be aware that in that time the total has been as high as 69 in 2003 and as low as 31 last year and in 2006 – Pittsburgh’s last Super Bowl victory.

The Super Bowl is an ideal vehicle for in-running spread betting as things can change extremely quickly. Punters buying or selling on the supremacy markets with Sporting Index will often wait for the first score of the game and the stats show that 71% of teams who score the first touchdown go on to win the game and 76% of Super Bowls go to the team leading after the second quarter. That said, 22 Super Bowls have seen both teams lead at least once, so punters may expect some big market fluctuations. A final note should go to the two quarterbacks in the game, Arizona’s Kurt Warner and Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger – two of the only three quarterbacks in history to have achieved three perfect passer ratings. Sporting Index offer a special Most Valuable Player shirt supremacy – the difference between the Pittsburgh MVP’s shirt number and that of Arizona’s MVP. In 22 previous Super Bowls a quarterback has picked up the MVP award. Warner wears #13; Roethlisberger, #7.

Please ensure you understand the risks with sports spread betting as it involves a higher level of risk and you can lose more than your original stake. Remember to bet responsibly. Sporting Index is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

this game comes down to one question:

Can the Steelers move Warner in the pocket without having to blitz Polamalu and their entire linebacking corp?

If you think the answer is yes, you take Pittsburg -6.5 @ 10/11

If you think the answer is no, you take Arizona to WIN @ 2/1

Personally, i don't trust Warner not to make turnovers against such a powerful defense, so i will be taking Pittsburg -6.5

Good luck to all Fingers Crossed

first of all well done to the CARDINALS for getting to the superbowl, i am sure alot of us did not have them on our list to get there.in WARNER they have a class player and i fill this is where the STEELERS will have to stop him playing.i am sure the STEELERS will have a special game lined up for him, if it works then the STEELERS will win.

my bets STEELERS @ -6.5 and in a high scoring game +45 points Smile
