The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals both took care of business at home on Sunday, and now the two teams will meet in the Super Bowl in two weeks. gamblers, however, may not wait that long before they make their pick for the big game.

just minutes after the Steelers clinched the AFC title, Las Vegas sportsbooks have installed them as the betting favorites to win their sixth Lombardi Trophy. They are seven point favorites over the Cardinals.

The Super Bowl is the most gambled on event in sports. Millions of dollars will be wagered at sportsbooks. It is not only the game that bettors will pick. There will also be many proposition bets to choose from.

The proposition bets have yet to be released, but with the betting line favoring the Steelers, it appears Arizona still is not commanding any respect. The cardinals have been underdogs in every postseason game they have played this year.

The reason, according to one of the firms that makes the lines for the Vegas sportsbooks, is defense. They feel that the Cardinals have not seen a defense the caliber of Pittsburgh’s.

If the Cardinals do score on the vaunted Steeler defense, it may be tough for Pittsburgh’s offense to keep up. The Steelers will not know until at least Monday the extent of the injury to their all pro wide receiver, Hines Ward.
