Cinderella Won't Win the Superbowl

[MJ]

Hey Cinderella Cardinals,

The clock struck 12 right after you beat the Eagles. Now you can carry your pumpkin and mouse back to your shabby house.

I locked in Pittsburgh -5 at -134 (HEAVY).

I advise all of you to do the same .

Big Ben is going to have a Big Day.

[Dark Horse]

The fact that you bought points to get to -5 doesn't exactly support your expert opinion.

[LT Profits]

What is the point of buying to -5?

Just play the straight line at -6 or -6.5. Buying from -7 to -6.5 would be OK.

Why does this guy come on here and make stupid ass coments?
By the way, your mighty Steelers are in for a game in Tampa pal.

What would you rather have in the Super Bowl..... offense or defense. I think it's pretty obvious that Pitt relys on D and Arizona has an explosive offense. In past Super Bowls it seems like the offensive teams shine. I have not capped this game yet..... but at a quick glance I'm thinking Arizona ML.

[MJ]

Go ahead and bet on Cardinals.

Ask the 2001 Baltimore Ravens, defense does win championships.

Go ahead and bet on Cardinals.

umm ya im def going to. Im so confident that im going to bet cardinals and NOT buy points. hahahah What a joke.

Lol just buy 15 points and that will be even better MJ.

and im curious why you think hes going to have a big day. His 56% passing percentage so far this playoffs( in which passing against the boltz isnt an acomplishment so this number should be higher anyhow) doesnt show this. If anyone will have a big game its Kurt Warner and fitzy.

[MJ]

Lack of Defense will certainly lose you a Superbowl.

Only the Lions, Rams, Broncos and Chiefs allowed more points this season than the Cardinals.

Stats are from NFL.com

Cardinals Defensive Statistics - Rank 19

Total Points Allowed = 426

Total Defense (YPG)
#19 = 331.5

Total Passing (YPG)
#22 = 221.2

Total Rushing (YPG)
#16 = 110.2


Steelers Defensive Statistics - Ranked #1

Total Points Allowed = 223

Total Defense (YPG)
#1 = 237.0

Passing (YPG)
#1 Pittsburgh Steelers 156.9

Rushing (YPG)
#2 Pittsburgh Steelers 80.2

The Steelers are a defensive team and when I bet Defense I buy points when they are cheap. -134 is not expensive.

I see people betting huge ML bets all day on this thread. So -134 for the added insurance of winning on 2 FG's makes sense for me.

[B1GER1C828]

its great that steelers have a good defense and im proud of em for that
but when ur team is ranked 22 for total offense, your not going to get in the endzone at all. If u think the final will b 10-7 then pittsburgh will win. But every1 knows it wont b, which is why ariz is the play all the way.

so lets think about this

number 2 passing offense against number 1 passing defense-will b good, but the 3rd best defense in the league gave up 32 points vs them...take that into account will ya

pitt's number 17 passing vs the number 22 passing defense. hmmmm whats 2 b worried about??
Pitt's 23rd rushing vs cards number 16 rushing defense. still not worried

We all know the playoffs are different, but i wanted to point out that sicne u go by the season numbers, cardinals wont be scared at all.

So defense may b big in the playoffs and superbowl. But when the team ur facing's offense is number 22 in the season, you dont have to worry all that much do you?

Hey Cinderella Cardinals,

The clock struck 12 right after you beat the Eagles. Now you can carry your pumpkin and mouse back to your shabby house.

Not a big trash talker, but since Cardinals fanboys have been bothering me for the last two weeks...
I have to admit that was pretty funny...

I have a SB futures bet with Steelers to win.. but I may take a little action laying the points as well.

BOL

[ebbearsfb1]

the offense shines thats the dumbest thing i ever heard..... what happento the pats last year??? or the raiders a few years back... or the rams when they played the pats


defense wins championships

[xyzky]

MJ,
Your a ****ing idiot!! The funny thing about dumb bettors is the pouring shit that comes out of their mouth. Then they try to back it up with stats from the whole year. Tell you what go back and re-watch both the Cards and the Steeler playoff games and then come back on here and tell me the bet is Pitt -7...

What has made the Cardinals defense better in the playoffs?

[LT Profits]

Although it was stupid to buy down to -5, I do agree that Steelers should win by double-digits. Arizona is statistically the worst defensive team to EVER make the Super Bowl, while the Steelers have one of the two best defenses in football. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

[The Seer]

The fact that you bought points to get to -5 doesn't exactly support your expert opinion.

first thing that I thought too

[xyzky]

I dont see how the Steelers are going to stop Zona from moving the ball down the field with 5-10 yard passes. Yes, Pitts defense is good, nobody doubts that. But, move them out of Pittsburgh and but Zona in warm weather...Seems like a no-brainer to me that an extra touchdown will go a long way in this game. Maybe, if the refs are Pitts pocket again (I still have nightmares about the Seattle/Pitt Superbowl) they will win this straight up.
Maybe, I am way off in left field, but I am not crowning any NFL team before the game is played.
Plus this looks a good comparitive matchup:
Sun, Nov 9 Indianapolis L 20-24??
Also, why did the number open at 47? Does Pitt just put that number up by themselves?

[xyzky]

What does Heavy mean? Did you put $80 bucks on the game, oh my....

[MJ]

$80 might be heavy for you since you probably have a bankroll of $500.

[MJ]

Look at this idiot Xyzky. Just shitting in other people's threads. Say something constructive jackass. Instead of just spewing your crap for everybody to read. It's clear you are a bitter loser. Probably live in your mom's basement in Reno, NV. Going to the casino's to grab a free pack of cigarettes and living in the sports book lounge betting $10 per game. Sound right xyzky.

[gizmo2431]

Will line movement further to Pitt -7.5? Debating if I should hop on Pittsburgh right now before the line gets out of hand.

Yup, I have nothing constructive to say. And I just sit in the sports books all day with my free pack of smokes and $10 bets...
Not a bitter loser, went 3-1 last weekend, nothing to be bitter about, I guess I just see lines and football games a bit different than you. You will probably end up winning and you will pat yourself on the back (Look at me I bought Pitt down to -5 and won $80 bucks and your friends will bow down to you and say you are the greatest) Excellent thread by the way, you will get all the respect in the world for this one...I'm done with this thread now...

[MJ]

You are a total moron and I will leave it at that since you already raised the white flag.

[LT Profits]

Well I doubt the line will go down, so if I were you, I'd buy to Steelers -6.5 -120 now.

[MJ]

This line is already at -7 in most books. I think it will get up to -7.5 before the game starts.

[jtnguyen79]

best of luck to you

arizona defense was bad during the season but it's looked pretty good in the playoffs.....Pittsburgh defense seems best against the run but during playoffs let San Diego score alot of points and baltimore was able to put 2 scores on them......so seems like better pick is the Over on this game

defense wins championship but what if this Arizona teams pulls out the win similar to INdy game a few year back -- they do have a lot of days to prepare for this game

liking the Over with slight lean towards Arizona but that will all depend on the line

I just saw this post...who pays extra juice to get to 5? Seriously I could never take this guys opinion seriously after I saw that.
