Keith Nivan Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 * Straight Up; Who'll Win The Game* Vs. the Spread (Steelers -6 1/2; means the Steelers are favored by 6 1/2 points; add 6 1/2 points to the Cardinals final score (or subtract 6 1/2 from the Steelers final score (if you're good in math)) to get the outcome* Over Under: 46 1/2; total points scored in the game regardless of who wins, the spread, what Bruce plays at halftime, etc.)Just predict a score and I'll proclaim the ec.com SB God/dess with bragging rights until the post disappears by natural or unnatural causes.**********Our first contestant is a Mr. BealteJay who, elsewhere on the site predicts:Cardinals 24 Steelers 17 (Cardinals Straight Up; Cardinals with the points; Under (41 points in the game vs. the O/U number of 46.5).Bold.***********Go wild. Back later.Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatleJay Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 just to make it more official-* Cardinals win in a shocker* Cardinals obviously beat the point spread, being the underdog.* under 46 1/2 total points* Cardinals 24 Steelers 17Bold, but I'll stick to my guns.

Craig Benfer Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 "Bet with your head not your heart." That was one of the very first pieces of advice given to me many years ago. My heart wants the Cardinals to win this game, but my head says......Steelers win and cover the spread. Also take the OVER in this game.I would be super confident about this pick if not for the cool head of Kurt Warner and the fact that he has been here before.As for the score ???Steelers 34Cardinals 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Nivan Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Steelers 37Cardinals 30Why Pittsburgh: Better teamWhy the Cover: Troy PolamaluWhy the Over: Kurt WarnerExtra: MVP: Warner (2nd MVP from losing team, as we quiz-takers know) or Polamalu if it's 31-30 inside of 5:00 (see the AFC Championship Game).Heart: Big Ben is a Miami alum; "Keith, Jr." is a junior at Miami: Go Redhawks; Go Steelers."K" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatleJay Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 It should be an interesting matchup between the Arizona receivers, and the Steeler secondary. Also, I'm predicting Big Ben won't be a big factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
