super bowl

Oddsmakers for NFL Football are hard at work. The odds for the Pittsburgh Steelers is about the same at all the major sports books. The current prices on the Steelers winning Super Bowl XLIII at sportsbook.com os 15/1; 16/1 at bodog; 20/1 at SBG Global.

The Steelers’ over/under total for wins in 2008 is set for 9 by the oddsmakers.  It is clear that they think Pittsburgh will win more than 9 games considering the over pays out of –140 compared to +110 for the under.

The Steelers have some football players coming back boosting their chances of heading towards another Super Bowl. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is back. Willie Parker, running back is back.  The defense is back. Some rookie mistakes were made last year in post season by Tomlin, but he’ wiser by a year and even if he hasn’t totally recuperated from his late season knee injury, Rashard Mendenhall was added in the draft. Even though the Steelers play in a tough AFC, they might be a solid Super Bowl bet at 20/1 odds.
