So here we go again, another season is about to wrap up and a new champion will emerge. We have the Pittsburgh Steelers opening at -6.5, getting as high as -7.5, and currently back to where they started at -6.5
We also have a game total of 46.5 which hasn't really done anything at all the past week and a half except stay at a pretty standard 46.5
UNFORTUNATELY - proline has not yet released its props ticket for the big game like i had hoped they would, and although i am quite confident in where i am leaning, i would still like to see some numbers to avoid any kind of ridiculousness on my part.
I'm going to be giving enough ridiculousness when i make my selection, don't you worry.
Once the props line comes out, i will get at it in more detail, but as it stands, i'm looking at something along the lines of:
Warner Completions - over
Fitzgerals Receptions - over
Parker Rushing yards - over
Interceptions - over
Fumbles - over
Longest Pass - over
**again this all will be determined on exactly how these lines are set(obviously).
... AND NOW FOR THE BIG QUESTION???
For as many times as i have said that defense wins championships, there have been an equal amount of times i have said not to count out the cardinals just yet. So, for my final hoorrrah...
DON'T COUNT OUT THE CARDINALS JUST YET!!!
I don't know why, or exactly what it is, but i just cannot get off this team right now. I think i am just hoping for a really really good game, but i also think that the cardinals have the weapons to get it done. Fitzgerald IS the best receiver in the NFL. Bolden is easily top five. Tim Hightower and a fresh, fresh, i only started the first half of this season so my legs aren't tired at all come the playoffs Edgerrin James aren't gonna do a whole lot in the stat book, but will definately keep pittsburgh's defense honest.
And then there is God man himself, Captain Kurt.
As much as i dislike him, he plays the game well. He sees the plays develop and makes smart decisions. My only concern with him is the fumble. He has seemed to have had that under control more this season. But he quietly still managed to lose 7/11 fumbles, and this pittsburgh defense is going to do everything they can to get at him from every angle possible.
On the other side of the ball we are looking at a pittsburgh offense who has really been able to turn it on when they needed to all season long. Big Ben has been poised in the pocket, made very intelligent football decisions, and has been nothing short of spectacular on 3rd downs.
But he struggled in his last superbowl. And although it was his first, and he ended up being the youngest quarter back to ever win the big game, you gotta be able to prove yourself in the big game. With Hines Ward not at 100%, and a cardinals defense that has all of a sudden emerged dominant throughout the playoffs. This could be a really REALLY good game.
Proline: the tie (3.60), and the over (46.5 @1.80)
- find a nice hockey game, or college ball game to throw in there to complete the parlay
**props ticket will be announced as it becomes available
BOWMANS: Arizona +6.5
(and if you wanna throw a little sprinkle on the money line +200)
So as you can see i think this is gonna be a close one... a higher than you might think close one to be exact. The bottom line is you got the best defense in the league going up against one of the most explosive offenses in the league. Anything can happen, anything is possible, and for 60 minutes these two teams are gonna give everything they've got to take that final step into immortality. Wow... only 60 more minutes of football until its over for another year. I'm gonna enjoy this.
