Super Bowl Sunday Open Thread

Posted on 14:00 by Unknown

It all comes down to this

Post game update: well that was a heck of a game, results below, for the postseason, seven games, Curly R was 5-2 against the spread, 5-2 straight up. What will this degenerate gambler do until next season?

Super Bowl Sunday is here, get your snacks and your jersey, it is the last opportunity to wear it without committing a fashion faux pas, the Cardinals and Steelers are about to get it on.

Redskins fans know about these teams, Washington played them both this season, beating the Cardinals and losing to the Steelers. For those that were interested in what was happening then and what happened next, here are both previews (Cardinals / Steelers) and both gamewraps (Cardinals / Steelers). I attended the Cardinals game with my good friend Mark Newgent of Redskins Examiner and posted up game journals on the experience here and here. Those Cardinals fans leaving the building as the fourth quarter wound down got the last laugh on us after all.

Last game, last picks, and here they are:

6:00 PM ET, NBC
PIT (-6.5) @ ARZ
Spread pick: Cardinals
Straight up: Cardinals

Yes I think Arizona is going to win this Super Bowl. Pittsburgh is a formidable team on all sides of the ball, I think the Cardinals have a hot hand, are not intimidated, have been underdogs in all three playoff games and rolled up thirty on every opponent on the way here.

Results: Cardinals spread / Steelers straight up. This game had it all, a team left for dead, the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, the longest play in Super Bowl history and a last second play to win it all. Conflatulations Pittsburgh, you have got yourselves a hell of a team.

Let the game offseason begin.


This is a Super Bowl Sunday open thread.
