Steelers-Cardinals Vegas Odds Up For Super Bowl

Joe Duffy, CEO of the top NFL handicapping site OffshoreInsiders.com  reports that the betting line is up for the 2009 Super Bowl between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals. The Pittsburgh Steelers are seven point favorites over Arizona at most sportsbooks.  The total is 47 under -118.

This is in line with the projected spread first reported by JoeDuffy.net.

The Arizona Cardinals are going to Super Bowl XLIII  following a 32-25 upset over the Philadelphia Eagles. Pittsburgh took at 13-0 lead against the Baltimore Ravens and held on for the battle with the former coach Ken Whisenhunt. The Steelers won 23-14 in a victory marred by Willis McGahee being carried off on a stretcher.

The NFL Tickets has the best available Super Bowl tickets. It is likely that BetUs or Bodog Life will have the first wave of exotic proposition betting lines for the Super Bowl.

Congratulations to GodsTips for sweeping the conference finals again with a Wise Guy on Pittsburgh and a Major play on Arizona.

Odds are also posted for various propositions for the Barack Obama Inauguration from the maker of Michelle Obama’s gown to the length of the inaugural address.

Super Bowl XLIII Spread is Up

The betting line is up for the 2009 Super Bowl. The
Arizona Cardinals will be in the familiar role as underdog. According to the
top NFL betting odds
guru of all-time Mike Godsey of GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com
should the Cardinals face the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh
will be a seven-point favorite. If it’s a Ravens-Cardinals Super Bowl 43, the
odds will have Baltimore -4.

The Arizona Cardinals are going to Super Bowl XLIII and NFL Tickets
are up as well as championship souvenirs in our Guy Store.
