Who would have thought that the Cardinals were going to be one of the two teams to be present at this year’s Superbowl? I guess not many people, but Arizona enjoys being an underdog (at least in what it concerns to betting), and even though I believe the Steelers have the most chances of winning the game, football is football, and if the Cardinals made it that far,is because they also have the potential of going against the grain.
The hopes of Arizona Cardinals are set on their quarterback, Kurt Warner, a player who has been a headache for rival teams this year. The Cardinals have a strong offensive that has been consistent, and the reason why Arizona has looked bad in a few games is because of many sacks on Warner and turnovers by the Cardinals.
But even though they have a good offense, the Cardinals have a good reason to worry: they will play the most important game in pro football against the Steelers, possibly the team with the best defense in the league.
The Cardinals’ luck will be depending on stopping Willie Parker. The good thing is that they have a whole week before the Superbowl to get their defense ready. They know they cannot allow the Steelers to score more than 21 points or they will be lost (this is a huge task considering that the Cardinals allowed 21 points in the second half of their recent game against the Eagles).
Their strategy might be based on scoring a good number of points and on trying to secure the win in the fourth quarter.
Right now the betting houses have the Steelers as favorites at -7, but if you are to bet this game, I will recommend you to wait until game day to place your bet in order to see what happens this week concerning injuries and others.
