This is the last serious betting opportunity of the NFL season. Let’s ignore the disastrous first part of the season and the non-existant second half/playoffs (necessitated by a vig crunch), and gamble on the Su…er, Championship Game That Cannot Be Named™. Unless specified, all of these come from Bodog as of 8:15 am; bets and odds may vary based on when and with whom you plunk down your marker:
Final – Pittsburgh -7 points and -210 to win, under 47 total (the under is the 5-star pick of the day)
First half – Arizona +4 points, under 24 total
1st quarter – Pittsburgh -.5, under 10 total
2nd quarter – Arizona +.5, under 13.5 total
3rd quarter – Pittsburgh -.5, under 10 total
4th quarter – Pittsburgh -.5, under 13 total
Will Arizona score in every quarter – No (-325)
Will Pittsburgh score in every quarter – No (-180)
Will there be a score in the last 3:30 of the game? – No (+125)
What will be the final margin? – Pittsburgh by 7-12 points (4/1)
Who will throw more interceptions? – Kurt Warner (-160)
Will Troy Polamalu have an interception? – Yes (+140)
(Not from Bodog, but courtesy Arthur Balinovsky on Facebook) – What will the White House thermostat be set at for the party? – Under 76 degrees (of course, every fireplace will be going full-tilt)
Does former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich have any professional interest on today’s action? – No (but only because he was also kicked out of his office pool)
