NFL: ANOTHER UPSET IN THE CARDS?

Bettors have gone against the Arizona Cardinals in every round of the playoffs so far, and they’ve paid for it dearly.

So it’s no surprise that only 47% of the early bettors at Sportsbook.com are backing the Cards as seven-point underdogs against the Pittsburgh Steelers for Super Bowl XLIII.

Pittsburgh is going for its record sixth Super Bowl title which would put them one ahead of the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers. This is the first Super Bowl appearance for a Cardinals franchise that has historically been known for futility.

The Baltimore Ravens (13-5 SU, 14-4 ATS, 9-8-1 O/U) have been keeping their opponents on ‘lockdown’ better than a Federal penitentiary.
