This year's Super Bowl line opened with Pittsburgh a 3 point favorite and everyone and their brother jumped on the Pittsburgh Bandwagon and moved the line to 4. It seems as though Seattle just is not getting any respect in this game whatsoever. But, Ty Gaston sez "Whoa Nellie before you bet the Superbowl," consider some of his fast facts on the game!
(1) Let's take a look at this game. First of all Pittsburgh didn't lock up their playoff spot until the last game of the regular season and came into the playoffs the 6th seed in the AFC, SEATTLE WAS THE #1 SEED IN THE NFC!
(2) Yes Pittsburgh beat the perennial favorite Indianapolis 21-18 in the playoffs, but lost to Indianapolis in the regular season 26-7, SEATTLE BEAT INDIANAPOLIS 28-13 as well!
(3) Do you remember that Philadelphia was a 5-1 favorite to win the Super Bowl at the beginning of the season? SEATTLE BEAT PHILLY 42-0!
(4) Common opponent Houston? Pittsburgh beat 27-7, SEATTLE BEAT HOUSTON 42-10!
(5) Seattle leads Pittsburgh in 7 of 8 offensive categories, more 1st downs, more yards per play, more rushing yards, more passing yards, more rushing yards per attempt, and higher passing percentage 65% to 61% on the season! Pittsburgh only leads Seattle in passing yards per attempt 7.9 yards to 7.3 yards, but that is because Seattle had the NFL's leading rusher and League MVP, Shaun Alexander, to hand the ball off to and it was not necessary to pass.
(6) Pittsburgh is 14-5 on the season, SEATTLE is 15-3!
(7) Why is everyone betting Pittsburgh? Well because there is an East Coast bias involved. Twice as many people wager on football on the East Coast than the West Coast. And don't forget the AFC has won 6 of the last 8 Superbowl's as well!
(8) What about head coaching experience in the BIG GAME, Bill Cowher has been their once and lost! Mike Holmgren has been their more times as Head Coach of Green Bay and won it and as an offensive coordinator for the 49ers in their glory years, when they won it.
(9) I don't believe the defenses of Pittsburgh's playoff opponents is anything to get excited about either. Cincy, Indy or Denver's defenses didn't scare too many people. SEATTLE'S DEFENSE WON'T LET PITTSBURGH THROW THE BALL, LIKE PITTSBURGH DID AGAINST their first 3 opponents, and SEATTLE'S DEFENSE IS PRETTY TOUGH AGAINST THE RUN AS WELL!
In closing, I've got a gut feeling this is the year the offshore sportsbooks, Vegas and the bookies make a killing on the Superbowl. As long as they keep taking all the Pittsburgh money, when all is said and done, Pittsburgh is the wrong side in this game!
