Super Bowl Betting - Why Arizona is the Better Bet
by Ian James

Congratulations to everyone who has been betting on the Patriots who were an overwhelming favourite in a championship game. Partly because it is easier to play in the “Big Game” when the pressure is off of you as the underdog, but also the Giants defence matched up extremely well against the most dominant offense in NFL history.
The same can be said for this year’s Cardinals against the defensive juggernaut Super Bowl MVP, and convince those knuckleheads that still believe that Warner doesn’t belong in the NFL Hall of Fame that he’s a first ballot shoe in.
Lets talk about the Cardinals player who everyone can’t get enough of right now, Larry Fitzgerald. You cannot ignore the record breaking stats Larry is posting in the playoffs, but lets put those aside for a second. Just look at some of the individual plays he has made. Warner threw a bomb against the Falcons into the corner of the endzone, it floated on him and turned into a jump ball, Fitzgerald was double teamed yet jumped a good foot higher than both defenders and pulled in an impactful touchdown. Super Bowl as an overwhelming underdog.
Now lets not sell the Steelers short, they deserve to be here. They have dominated all season, they dominated all playoffs, and enter as the favourite, the spot they deserve to be in. However, they are banged up. Their Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward is injured and will be more of a decoy on the field. Future Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu will still impact the game, but won’t be playing at his highest potential with a calf injury. Indeed through all the injuries and the notion of playing against a coaching staff that is familiar with Pittsburgh’s tendencies, the Steelers do still deserve to be the favourite. I’m urging you to look at the spread though, 6.5 points against a team that has never played better than right now. Arizona has proven the spread wrong all playoffs, and that won’t change in the Super Bowl. This will be a close game, a phenomenal game, and perhaps one of the best Super Bowl match ups ever.
