Pittsburgh is favored in most betting circles to win Super Bowl 43 by seven points. Looking over the past 18 NFL championships, teams that were favored by a touchdown and an extra point were dead even: 3-3-1.
During that same time period, favorites were 7-9-2 against the spread.
Pittsburgh Steelers (14-4 SU, 11-7 ATS) vs. Arizona Cardinals (12-7 SU & ATS)
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL
BetUS NFL betting odds: PITTSBURGH -6.5, Total 46.5
NOTABLE STAT: Pittsburgh is first in the NFL in points allowed and yards allowed
KEY NFL FOOTBALL BETTING TREND: Arizona has played seven of its last nine games under the total
The theme of this Super Bowl is already evident: Defense or offense? The Cardinals have the No. 4 offense in the NFL, No. 2 in passing, behind QB Kurt Warner and a talented trio of three-1,000+ yard receivers. The physical Steelers have the No. 1 defense. History says defense wins championships, which is why Pittsburgh is favored. But there’s a reason they play the games, as we saw last season when the double-digit Giants stunned the 18-0 Patriots, 17-14.
Almost as big as the game itself, prop wagers have become synonymous with the Super Bowl and everything that goes with the big game.
The popularity has grown in direct proportion with the oddsmaker’s creativity. What was once an afterthought, or an obligatory task has now become an art form for sports books, as they create hundreds and hundreds of proposition betting options for their clients.
Super Bowl betting has been heating up lately in the BetUS Sportsbook. Although the BetUS NFL odds makers haven’t released as many prop bets as some sports betting fans would have liked yet, just concentrating on the regular online betting options in the Super Bowl should keep most NFL betting fans plenty busy.
Another great year for NFL is coming to an end on February 1st. Great games this past weekend with both home teams winning and completing there dreams of making it to the Super Bowl. Both winners this past weekend covered the spread which make them a total of 5-0 against the spread this post season.

The Philadelphia Eagles released defensive tackle Kimo von Oelhoffen on Sunday.
Anyone need an old experienced super bowl winning defensive lineman?
von Oelhoffen has recorded 397 tackles, 26 1/2 sacks, three forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries in 192 career games with the Bengals (1994-99), the Pittsburgh Steelers (2000-05) and the Jets (2006).
There’s a team out there that can use this guy, he’ll be picked up soon enough.
