James Harrison MVP 30:1 Odds

[cheesehead004]

Am I the only one who thinks this has fantastic value? Throw down $200 for a potential $6,000 payday. I'm definitely gonna go for it. In my opinion the Steelers will win the game, and it isn't impossible for Harrison to win MVP. If the Pitt D shuts down the Cardinals and James Harrison dominates the game, he will win the MVP. Harrison can take over the game any time he steps out onto the field, and I wouldnt be shocked to see a dominant Pittsburgh defensive performance. Add that to all the hype surrounding Harrison and his feel good story, and you've got an MVP winner on your hands. Sure, only 2 LBs have ever won Super Bowl MVP and nobody has done it since the great Ray Lewis in 2000, but if Dexter ****ing Jackson can win, so can James Harrison.

I have already locked in on this with $200. Hell, even if you put just $20 that would be a sweet $600. I dont see any reason to not put even just 20 bucks on this.

You can't be the MVP if you're on the losing team.

[BobHarvey]

How much for Tory Palamalu? He'll have two picks one that he returns to house. And a fumble recovery.

You can't be the MVP if you're on the losing team.

yes you can.

It usually doesn't happen because the voters are asses that just give it to the QB of the winning team.

Chuck Howley won it, even though Dallas lost to Baltimore.

I don't think it'll happen again in the modern era. But one can never say never. I wonder what kind of odds someone might give on that kind of prop. 100:1?


I do like Harrison at 30:1. I wouldn't be suprised to see the classic fumbling Warner on Sunday. Harrison maybe picks one up in the end zone, coupled with a couple sacks and another forced fumble ought to do it.

[yisman]

I would take 100:1 on a player on the losing team winning it.

Ben Roethlisberger is not good enough to be a lock.

You can argue this either way. AZ wins, can be Fitz's circus catches, or Warner's 3TD to Fitz and Boldin. Pitts wins can be Big Ben having 0 turnovers and 2TD, harrison getting 1int, 2ff and 5 sacks, or Troy with 2int, 1 return td and 7 pass defense. That's why the books have this prop

Yeah bro I know it can go any way I'm not saying Harrison is gonna win. I was just saying 30:1 is nice value, that's why I made the bet. $200 to win $6,000 on one of the best defensive players in the league? Yes please.

Good luck. I agree it does have value. So I guess you are running with Pitts to win. Cuz Harrison can't be MVP if they don't win.

Prior to the playoffs, the Cards had the 32nd rushing defense in the league through the regular season. MVP honors will go to Parker.

See my Super Bowl column from last season, Lou. The arguments I made for picking the Giants straight up to win apply to this game as well: Great defense wins big football games. Period.

[laxdjock]

Ben Roethlisberger is not good enough to be a lock.

He is severely over-rated. While he "makes plays"....he also makes some very poor decisions, and I think he will be exposed as mediocre at best in the SB.

Fitz and Warner could absolutely go off, lose....and still win the MVP.

As for Harrison, I like the odds, but I think there are better bets out there.

[supershark]

The key to Arizona's success in the playoffs so far has been their ability to pick up on and pick apart blitzes. This observation leads me to believe that if their is going to be a defensive MVP on the Steelers it will be someone in the secondary ( most likely Polamulu ). I don't see the Cardinals falling apart against the blitz now ... and I don't see Warner holding onto the ball too long and getting sacked ( often atleast ). However what I do see is Polamalu shadowing Fitzgerald and picking off some of those deep balls Warner trys to hookup once they are down one or two scores in the second half... and if he takes one back for the score which he seems to do for ease that should be enough for the MVP.

There's just as much reason to think that Arizona's D will continue to be spectacular as there is to think they will revert back to their true crap selves.

Honestly, I think if Pittsburgh wins a defensive player will get the MVP. If Kurt Warner gets shut down look out for Polamalu to win it.

[purecarnagge]

he would need 3 sacks and a turnover for a TD to get it.

[BigAL]

funny thing is, is that Harrison is capable and has had games like this in his career. He can be an absolute wrecking ball. but teams are well aware of this now. For those that wanna pick Big Ben. Ask yourself how did he do last super bowl he was in?

Woodley or Polomalu also have good value as mvp if you see the steelers wining in a low scoring(17-13) close game, where the Steelers defense shines and makes big plays

[Panic]

Worse post ever.

He's right 98% of the time. Hardly a bad post.

Not really. They spent a 9-7 season being crap and 3-0 being pretty good.

False.

Give me good enough odds and I'd bet on Harrison getting MVP with Arizona winning the Super Bowl.

[james4512]

i dont think its a great value, i think its pretty accurate, with the way pitt plays defense they will always have single coverage on fitz or bolden so one of them will have an outstanding game and no matter how well harrison plays i would assume a cardinal will most likely get it

[slacker00]

Looking pretty good. How does he not win MVP with that runback? That is game set and match.

[Skanless1]

i'd have to say he's the leading candidate for mvp so far... good luck!

[pacattack81]

i doubt it will stay that way

[WileOut]

Yea if Arizona wins of course he will not be player of game. He will have to get an interception or force a fumble in the 2nd half to have a shot of MVP if Pittsburgh wins. But I hope you get it.

[SoCalFisher]

Good luck dude.

[seaborneq]

AZ offense should get it for shotty tackling on the play by Harrison.
