Pittsburgh -7 Is Vegas Serious?

Pittsburgh Speard -6.5 hook (-120) 10 units"

Why are you buying the hook if Pitt is going to win by at least 14 points?  I've read through the thread and you've talked so much crap yet you don't even have faith in your own words (and your spelling and grammar is atrocious BTW).  Regular season stats DO mean something and you can bring it up over and over again, but when they blow the whistle to start a playoff game, it's anyone's game.  These teams got into the playoffs because they earned it during the 16 game regular season.  If you want to go with regular season stats, you would have lost betting against AZ during the playoffs.  You would have spewed out stat after stat about how Atl, Car., and Phil were better than the lowly Cardinals and then would have eaten crow after each game.  It's fine to have an opinion on who you think will win but you attack everyone who posts anything positive about the Cardinals which is pretty dumb.  If Pitt wins and covers you can say 'I told you so!' and no one will give a shit.  But if the Cards win, it will be 100 times worse from the people calling you a dumbass for all of your posts in this thread.

I agree that your points are valid, as are the Az backers but you're just going overboard man!

Even if I think that Pitt will win by 31 points. It's the same thing! I'm still going to play the ML and buy the hook.  So all the handicappers in vegas have no faith when playing the ML and buying the hook? I know it's gambling and anything can happen. Yeah very well Arizona might win this game by 21 points or more. Look at it this way. Even if Pittsburgh is playing Detriot and giving them 7 (which would never happen but if did) in the superbowl. I'm doing the same dam thing. I'm playing the ML and buying the hook to play it safe.

I don't care about my spelling and grammer. I don't proof read my posts! why would i? Is this a english class? Am i being graded on my grammer and spelling? i don't give flying rip

DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS

Defense may win Championships, but Quarterbacks can lose you games.

Last time I checked, Phillys D had a decent year... and Zona scored at will early. If Big Ben thinks he can just turn it on in the 4th, like usual, and take down this game, the the Pittsburgh Steelers don't take it. Ben will need to do a better job of passing in the pocket to atleast stretch Zonas underrated D, allowing the Steel to thier bread and butter- the run.

 The best thing going for Pitt is experience and D, I think we can all agree on that. Thats why the offense will need to come up big- if they lose this game, it will be because the offense couldnt keep pace early- granted, if the Cards do find themselves in that situation (will everyone shut up about regular season- people need to read some articles on parody in the "new" NFL...) again, we will see if they learned to keep the pedal to the metal rather than sit on a game and almost lose it at the end, a la Philly.

If the weather is poor, take the Steel curtain with a 1/2 pt teaser. If its a beauty out, take Steelers on the ML. What my question to all is......... WHY ARGUE ABOUT A RELATIVELY HARD DECISION WHEN THE OVER IS WHERE ITS AT??? stop wasting your time pickin the winner in this one!!! take the $$$- take the over!!!

Zona has the best recieving corps in the biz. Fitz is 2nd best individually. Andre Johnson is still #1 (Kevin Walter??? c'mon- we don't even need to go to QB's... which makes Calvin Johnson #3), but Zona has one of the best pure passers ever to play in the biz playing like it (who's a better pure passer than Warner?? Marino and Montana... good.. now who else- now you have to argue, because no one is clearly better after those 2), a backfield well-rested with no big bangs and a renewed motivation as they face another situation where all 49 other states favor the opponent. Breaston and a Boldin out to prove he isn't the next El Dorado Owens, I laugh at the guys who think this ones gonna be about defense. Warner will take 6 sacks to throw 6 touchdowns, and all he needs is a 3 step drop anyway.

Fast Willie and Mewelde. I think they will prevail and outduel the most underrated running game in Super Bowl history (anyone wanna take a stab at Zonas rushing total after the 1st half vs. a stiffling Philly D). Willie was so key in thier last super bowl, he is looking like he did in week 1 (half his seasons TD's), and... most importantly... he represents the intangibles that will help the experienced Stellars team edge out a hot Cards team.

Either way, this will be another good one... remember the 90's when every super bowl just sucked.... don't treat the Cards like the 90's bills, or the chargers, or any of the other teams that went there to get thier sides toasted.... this will be close- 34-31 Pitt w/ no rain- 27-20 with rain. take the over before it goes up another half pt!!!!
