The biggest sports betting event of the year takes place this Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals meet on the grid-iron to determine the winner of the 2008-2009 Super Bowl.
The Cardinals are the surprise team after garnering a 9 and 7 straight-up record during the regular season.

The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers meet for the third time this season with a trip to the Super Bowl at stake. The Ravens will be trying to beat the Steelers for the first time this season while the Steelers will be trying to beat the Ravens for the third time this season.
Both of the teams that made it to the NFC Championship are big surprises. The Philadelphia Eagles had to beat their arch rivals, the New York Giants, on the road in order to get to the championship game. The Arizona Cardinals had to beat the two seed, the Carolina Panthers, on the road to get to the championship game. Out of the two teams, it’s the Cardinals that have provided the biggest surprises to online betting fans this NFL playoff season.
The Arizona Cardinals travel to Carolina to play in a divisional playoff game where most sports betting fans feel the Cardinals have no chance. Arizona is coming off of a spirited against the spread victory and straight-up victory over the 1 point favored Atlanta Falcons in their last game. Arizona looked very good in that game with running back Edgerrin James suddenly finding his feet.
I’m surprised that the NFL schedulers decided to make this the day game and the Arizona Cardinals vs. Carolina Panthers the night game this Saturday. To me, this is the much more intriguing game, and I believe most sports bettors would agree with me, as the Baltimore Ravens defense looked absolutely spectacular this past Sunday when dominating the Miami Dolphins.
The San Diego Chargers needed overtime to beat the Indianapolis Colts but they did so. In beating the Colts, the Chargers beat a team that had won 9 straight games and was led by the reigning NFL MVP, Peyton Manning. But things don’t get easier for the 9 and 8 straight-up Chargers as they have to take their game to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers.
