That all important Cardinals vs. Steelers Super Bowl line had some value for anyone looking to place a bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a -6 ½ favorite at Bookmaker.com, a touchdown win by the Steelers would mean a winning bet as opposed by a "push" (no win, no lose) available at most online sportsbooks offering the line at -7.
"There is a very good chance of the game being won by a touchdown, so anyone who likes the Steelers to win should certainly bet the Super Bowl line of Pittsburgh -6 ½," suggests Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com. "Savvy sports bettors certainly will take the -6 ½ line."
The Cardinals vs. Steelers Super Bowl line has hovered anywhere from -6 ½ to -7 ½ over the past several days since oddsmakers released the number on this game.
"The +7 ½ line has not been seen since the start of last week and would have been a given, not only for Arizona Cardinals bettors to jump all over, but also as a great middling opportunity by betting on the currently available -6 ½ line," Shapiro said.
It's not entirely outside the realm of possibility that we will see another +7 ½ line before game time - yet another reason to jump on the Steelers at -6 ½ at Bookmaker.com.
"It's smart betting plain and simple even if the odds of a touchdown win are slim since this has rarely happened over the course of Super Bowl history."
And one shouldn't take for granted either that Bookmaker.com will continue to offer the Cardinals vs. Steelers line at Pittsburgh -6 ½. You'll want to lock this number in quickly as Bookmaker.com has moved back and forth between the -6 ½ and -7.
