Why do we always have to have score predictions in these line discussions?

As a bookmaker and one thought Pitt was going to win by 35, would they be hanging them at -8 right now????

Just for the record on where I stand on this game. I like the Steelers - 6 1/2 ! This Steeler defense is not only the best in the NFL this year; this is one of the best defenses I have seen in many years ! Feel free to bring this thread back up after the Cardinals win as I don't believe it will happen. Can it happen ? Duh ! Of course it can but I like to put my $$ where it most likely will happen. If the books continue to offer up their ridiculous + 185 to + 200 on the Cardinals... I wouldn't even cover my Steelers AFC +3 wagers made earlier. 4 more days and We will know ! This is a far better Steeler team then the one that lost to Seattle ! LOL That one is for Dante ! :lol:

Right now the consensus is basically........

+6.5 -105
-6.5 -115

This after many books opened the game at -7 flat.

If I were booking the game I would have opened the game at -7 and rather then go down to -6.5, just moved the price on the -7 spread as it is my belief that this will be a solid number over the next few days and probably all the way leading up to the Superbowl.



Thus far, this has been precisely what WSEX and BET JAMAICA have done.


Current SB line at BET JAMAICA.........

ARIZONA +7 -122
PITT -7 +102


Again, my hope is that this game falls on the number.

Early this evening I believe we will begin to see the line making a move back up, as the PITT money will start flowing in.

Grabbing PITT at the best possible ML price right now is a tremendous play in my opinion.

PS- Think we start seeing some 45.5's on the total very soon also, down from its high of 47.5.........by the way, it has been frigid here in Tampa the past two days.

I saw nothing but - 6 1/2 here in Vegas yesterday afternoon with Steelers at - 220. The owner of the company I work for gave me $ 100 yesterday when I left work and has so much confidence in my wagering that He says " Put it on whatever you think is the best wager " ! I asked him " Don't you want to even know where I intend to put your $$ " He said " NO, just surprise me Monday " Kinda puts me in an awkward position if I actually lose his $ 100. I intend to put it on the lowest Steeler Money line I see today. Like Fish, I expect the Steeler Money to start flowing in pretty soon. Game could easily close at a solid -7 yet ! -7 1/2 will not happen !

I like Pitt defense. In an amateur move on a day designed for amateurs I bet half of my bank by betting hundreds on Bodog prop:

Football - NFL Player Props (Prop) Moneyline
Will Kurt Warner break Joe Montana's Career Super Bowl Record of 1142 Passing Yards?
Kurt Warner must start game for wagers to have action. He needs 364 Passing Yards to break the record. Singles only.
No -650 Thu@11:00p

I saw this prop as a license to print money. Bodog has since closed many of the props (else I might have dumped every last cent into this bet) and maybe others can explain Bodog closing props early. That said, I put a few dollars on Ariz +7. I think this game will be close and I had to buy the points. Good luck to RXers

My last update prior to Super Bowl from here in Vegas. I just left the Las Vegas Hilton less than an hour ago. Line moved since this morning when
Steelers were - 6 1/2. The line was Steelers -7 -110, ml -220 with Cardinals +7 -110, ml + 195. The line was about 75 yards long... yes yards but I timed it and it took me 40 minutes to get my wagers down. Yesterday every sportsbook in town had Steelers - 6 1/2 or at least all the ones I went to. I'm off to watch the game at a local Super bowl party... I mean Big game party. Kinda pis-es me off when anyone with half a brain knows that gambling on games and gambling on fantasy leagues is where a lot of the NFL $$ comes from ! Good Luck on all your wagers ! Hope the game lands on 7 and 47 and everyone has the correct side !

Have fun Kermit

Think I was correct in saying that -7 was going to prove to be a very solid number on this game.

May all your wagers cash............

If this game lands 7, I am coming to Vegas next week and stay at the Kermit16 Hotel, food and beverage comped, along with a visit to Rhino's...:missingte
