Super Bowl XLIII: Poll/Prediction/Conversation Thread

[moondog22]

I'm staying with the dogs,Arizona

[bryce]

I am trying to get over the fact that two big plays won the game for Pitt. Holmes TD and Polomalu's INT. Pitt's other scores were three FG's. Arizona has been stout in their playoff games and literally manhandled Carolina and Philly in the first half. I am liking Arizona to cover this. I expect Arizona to test the airways frequesntly in this one. They have nothing to lose.

[ravenmaniac]

I think the key to this game is Arizona's offensive line. If Pittsburgh starts getting to Warner he will start getting happy feet and turn the ball over. If he gets protection Arizona will win because I don't think Pittsburgh can keep up in a shoot out. Right now I am leaning to the Steelers getting to Warner.

Eagles D was ranked 3 in the league behind the steelers and ravens. If AZ can move the ball that well especially running it, against the eagles, I don't see why they can't against the steelers. AZ also proved themselves after bouncing back with a 14 play drive after going down. Love the points....like AZ straight up.

[DBURGH]

The Steelers D is one that nearly set a record that has never been done before,,,to finish 1st in rushing, passing and total D. This may well be the best Defense ever. However, one problem with the 3-4 defense, if teams can consistantly hit the quick short routes it causes fits. Or should I say Fitz. New England knows how to handle the Steelers D, thank god we didn't have to lose to them again in a playoff game. Let's see if Wiz learned anything when New England used to pick us apart. If Arizona tries to run the ball against this team, let's say 20 times or more, they lose. If they pass on every down, then they stand a chance of winning this one and pulling off the upset.

[mavskidd02]

Totally against what the line and O/U indicate this game will be. I think Pitt wins 27-20

I think those bets are crazy. I can understand thinking Zona wins, but to pick the game within 4 points seems like a poor bet. No issues with taking Zona -7 for a chance at a big hit, and that means they can win by 8 of 28 and you win, but to specifically pick Zona to win within 4 points of the actual score.....not so much. It seems like the odds should be higher to have to be that specific.

[kokopuff]

this is damn good point...if you bet the 8-11,,,and it ends az by 7,,,you should still collect the 8-1 money as opposed to the 18-1 money...im sure its gotta work that way.

[crazy1464]

as much as i want to see arizona win at 8-8. i think pitt will show them why they are the #1 defense. the steeler defense never breaks. steelers win this 31-17

[jbaker1564]

Kurt Warner, it is time to retire...

[mavskidd02]

this is damn good point...if you bet the 8-11,,,and it ends az by 7,,,you should still collect the 8-1 money as opposed to the 18-1 money...im sure its gotta work that way.

If it did, why would anyone ever bet the 8-1 if you can bet the 18-1 and still win the 8-1. Not sure what you mean koko

[DIRK]

31-24 Cards,
Lets see Pitt play against a real offense not to mention they won't be at home in cold, snowy conditions. Don't forget the Ravens were injured, had a rookie QB on the road in a title game. Ravens couldn't pass or run the ball against them but were in the game late in the 4th quarter, this time no bail out pick for a td by Pitt's secondary.
Rememba what the NE offense did to the Steelers late in the season in 07.
Cards have those kind of receivers & a QB thats very accurate & plays well in big games.
Cards Win By 04-07 pts 8-1.

Pitt superbowl 3 years ago against a nfc west team pitt wins superbowl and ****** i was at the game to see it first hand!! 3 years later pitt back in the superbowl against what do you know a nfc west team and -6.5 to win the game. What do we know about nfc west teams??? Nfc west teams are known for having decent offense's top 15 in the league there also known for having weak defenses last 20-30 in the league. I believe that arizona has made the superbowl by just pure luck and the 2 gloves that kurt warner wears when hes throwing the ball!! Pitt plays some of the toughest teams in the nfl , they play balt/tenn/jax 3 of the leagues best defense's twice a year, they play indy,jets,sd,new eng, almost every year atleast once, arizona never faces defenses like this i mean philly ok but they only show up every other week. I expect pitt to win this game and put it away in a early fashion rip arizonas hearts out quick!!!!!!!!!!!

Cash money super bowl pick- pitt -6.5

good luck and cash in!!!!!!!!
