Considering MOST of the 1H points came off defensive interceptions and turnovers, it seemed quite likely the line was correct. |

Overrated is so High School and College. In the NFL, I do not believe that there is such a thing as overrated. The seedings do not mean as much as they may have once upon a time. There is a large degree of parity and as the saying goes, "On any given Sunday..." Let's keep the overrated discussions for College basketball and NCAAF. By the way, I believe the Steelers have earned every Super Bowl. I do not believe they get enough respect like the Pats for example. Everyone seems to be quick to get on their "jock" (band wagon) but the Steelers are like the Rodney Dangerfields' of winning Super Bowls.

I just read a blog that Dallas is short on home grown talent for the Super Bowl. So, my question is, what is the over/under on player and front office staff arrests?
O/U 1.5

So, if they win then I will win no matter what with the Steelers -2.5/+150. If they win by more than 1 point and 10 or less I am very happy; if they win by more more than 11 then I am hedged--I could only win on the one bet. So, basically, I am saying that I believe they will win between 1 and 10 points.

Do the math; it makes better value and sense to me especially when I have a definite opinion.To top it off, I am going to ladder up on Pittsburgh winning margin. Pitt 6-10 winning margin pays +700; 11-16 pays +1100. Oh...and 1-5 pays +400.
ML for +125 or -2.5 for +150...doesnt sound like a good investment...y risk all that when you could just play the ML...?? |

these are the kinds of posts i look for on this site... the more i see of them, the more i lean towards the Packers! other games the books "made a mistake" on this post-season: Balt (-3.5) @ KC (disrespecting the Chiefs) Atl (-1) vs Packers (disrespecting the Falcons home field advantage) Chi (-10) vs Seattle (disrespecting the Seahawks win over the Saints) GB (-3.5) @ Chi (disrespecting the Bears) those books sure do make a lot of mistakes... |

Good enough for me. Gonna bet my Spring Semester financial aid check on the Pack. By the time the game is over, I will have money for school AND to party! ROLMAF! Get out of here, you've got jokes. You're insane. Thanks for the confirmation! Now, I know without a doubt the Steelers are going win.

I believe more weight should have been given toward the team with the most recent Super Bowl (winning) experience. I believe the Steelers are a very misunderstood team. They tend to win close games or at times play to the level of the competition or the situation. They have been built for playoff success. So, in my view, the betting line is somewhat disrespectful. They should be the favorite.

I found the line that will make me happy, hopefully. Through Sportsinteraction, I am taking the alternate spread, Steelers -2.5/+150. I think that is pretty cool so I do not have to feel that the line was disrespectful to a six time Super Bowl winning franchise.

So.....would it be respectful if Pittsburgh was laying points?!?! The spread has absolutely nothing to do with respect - it's a price tag. |

Ok, I found out how I am going to play it! I can play Steelers -2.5/+150 through Sportsinteraction where I feel the line should be. Thanks.

That's why they play the game. Think about this....Polamalou will have 2 weeks to study film. I believe he will be heard from in this Super Bowl in a dramatic way. The Steelers have a great record with him in the line up.

In 2005, the Steelers had less wins than the Seahawks. The Steelers were the #6 seed while the Seahawks were #1 seed Steelers were -4.5 & they covered It seems people are over analyzing this game & its not that difficult. The oddsmakers arent stupid & they know why they made the Packers the favorite. |

I meant to say in my prior reply that against New England there was no #43 Troy Polamalu. I believe he is going to make some big plays in this game. His injury will have more time to heal and more importantly he has 2 whole weeks to study!

Since Pittsburgh boasts one of the best run defenses of ALL TIME, obviously you are going to pass more being that is all you can find success in. If you figure that in 8 of Pittsburgh's 12 wins, they had two touchdown leads and some of the box stats are completely misleading. This team has shut down team after team, with everything being thrown at them... NE is the only team to score more than 24 points on the Steelers all year. 1 time this team gave up more than 24 points, 1 time! They are number 1 in the league in points allowed at only 14.5 per contest. So Rogers is going to have to do more than put up some decent stats on the Steelers. To make comments that Pittsburgh's pass D is terrible and Rogers on turf is going to have a field day is just baseless nonsense... Now they might have some success, especially with an extra week to prepare, but don't expect GB to go up and down the field. Pittsburgh was tops in the league with 48 sacks in the regular season...So far in two playoff games, they have 7. Rogers is going to have to stay on his feet to make plays, and with Harrison and company rushing, it will be a tall task. It is not as easy as it seems fells, just sayin.. Well said, and remember that against New England there was #43 with the long flowing mane.
