Post Wiz's Superbowl Sunday

Arizona vs Pittsburgh (Lets start out with some props plays before previewing my pick play on the Superbowl)

1 Unit Prop Wager
: Field Goals Made: Over 3.5 (-110)****POD****

1 Unit Prop Wager
: Cardinals will Convert more than 4.5 - 3rd down Conversions (-110)

1 unit Prop Wager:Will Kurt Warner throw at least 1 interception??
Yes: -230

1 unit Prop Wager:1st Score of Game Will Be: Field Goal or Safety +145

I can see either team driving down to score but the defense holds and a field goal is made first. Why Not take this Prop with plus money.

************************************Superbowl Time**************************************

The Steelers secondary will be under one of the biggest test they faced all season from a strong air assault led by Kurt Warner and the Arizona offense. Pittsburgh offensively has not received the credit they have deserved during the playoffs. Despite the defense leading all season, the Steelers offense has found a way to score over the last two games posted 28 points on average. The Steelers will likely need to find a way to continue to post some touchdowns as many expect the Arizona to have some success, but the question is how much success?

Arizona came into the playoffs as a huge underdog for winning the weak NFC West. The Cardinals were not expected by many to make it out of the first playoff game against Atlanta much less make a surge and get to the Super Bowl. Despite conquering all odds, Arizona still has one game left to prove why nobody should count them out. Veteran QB Kurt Warner has been very impressive throughout the Cardinals run. Warner’s leadership ability may have been equally impressive with his talented throwing arm as well. After all Warner is a Super Bowl MVP who led the St. Louis Rams to their first ever Lombardi Trophy and he will be trying to do the same this Sunday with the Cardinals.

However the most impressive man on the field for the Cardinals has been Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald broke NFL all-time great Jerry Rice’s playoff receiving yards records as he has racked up 419 yards already with one game to go. Fitzgerald also caught 3 touchdowns in the first half of the NFC Championship (also a record) and has 5 total TDs over the playoff stint. WR Anquan Boldin has also been a big factor for the Cardinals this season despite being very quite during the post season. However, do not be surprised if Boldin gets the ball thrown his way a good bit as the Cardinals will try to utilize all their weapons to overcome the stout Pittsburgh defense.

final conclusion:
I believe this will be a close contest with the outcome being decided at the closing stages of this battle. They say defense wins championships, but the Steelers won’t put the brakes on the very motivated Cardinals offense and Warner. Look for Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald to challenge the Steelers and its domineering defense.,but the Cardinals have made it this far and their record shows they are a good underdog play!!I The Cardinals have beaten tough teams and been the underdog in each of their three playoff games. Then again, defense wins championships and the Steelers have held opponents to fewer yards on average than any defense since 1978. Personally, I will make the smallest wager of the season on this game and sit back and enjoy. The game will depend on Arizona's offensive line holding up to the Steelers hard-hitting defense.

Wiz's play:I’m going with the Veteran QB that has been here before to find a way to win not to mention getting 7 extra points.

Wiz's play:The Cards+7
added: Arizona+13/over 40.5 (tease)
