Vegas Says Steelers 72% Chance to Win Super Bowl

Vegas projects Pittsburgh 27-20, with 72% chance to win.

Cards “26 to 1” longshots to have won 3 straight games as underdogs.

The Super Bowl is the biggest single-day sports betting event each year.

Over $10 billion dollars is expected to be wagered worldwide on Super Bowl XLIII, by more than 200 million individuals. Less than 1% of that money will be wagered legally in Nevada.

The troubled economy is not expected to greatly affect action on the game. Typically sports betting is affected significantly less than other industries by economic downturns.

........ Is Vegas dead-on this year with its prediction/odds?

........ How many of you guys are picking the Cards to win?

........ Any past bettors refraining/cutting back this year due to the economy?

........ I'm not trying to stir anything up, just would like to hear different opinions and thoughts image

Neither team is my hometown team, so I don't have an inside interest in either team, but personally, I think the Steelers will win by a much larger spread ... more like 35-14.

I've never bet more than $100-$200 on the Superbowl; this year will be no different.

Okay, let's here it guys........ (keep it nice, no jabs please) image

    I think Steeler's will win but closer than the point spread.

    SInce the Cowboys will watching from their couches just as I will, I don't really care who wins. However, you have to love the "last?" chapter of the Kurt Warner story. So, I will be pulling for the Cards for that reason only. Plus, Ben Rothliswhatever and Willie Parker screwed me in fantasy football this year.

    The Cardinals need to play the way they have been, but it will be tough against Pitts defense

    I want the Steelers to win, and think they should, but at 26-1, I'm taking the Cardinals. image

    Morning,
    Could care less about either one, except put $25 in Vegas on the Steelers before the season started at 12-1 odds. So I just became a Steeler's Fan.

    This game will be a blowout from the opening kick. Stillers, 30-10. I just vomited in my mouth.

    I am a steeler fan as well, and I do not like the matchup against the Cards... Warner can pick apart the steeler secondary... The Steelers are set to stop the run.. The Cards are a pass first ask questions later team..

    Cards in an upset? No real rooting interest here.

    Cards by 10.

    Never underestimate a Redbird team that limps into the post-season.

    All I can say is the Ravens defense is brutally good.

    For Pitt to win Parker needs to get a little tougher, he looked scared yesterday. Big Ben is one tough dude but he'll also need Hines Ward back.

    After watching Palamalu change the flow of the game several times, and being a Rams fan, I wish they would draft Ray Malaluga from USC with the 2nd pick rather than an OL. He's going to be a Palamalu only at linebacker.
