Guaranteed Football PicksYou are here because you have paid for a football package, so you are either:
Football PreviewsNFL 5 HookSeattle/Pittsburgh Over 47 When you think of Pittsburgh, you think of a team that relies on the running game and defense. So when the thought of picking an OVER or UNDER, you would think UNDER. But this year, it's a different Steeler's team. Yes, of course they still run the ball and have a fantastic defense but this year they have a passing game. Big Ben is allowed to throw the ball on a consistent basis this year and he has performed. This playoff season he has taken out big time teams with solid passing. Indy and Denver looked to stop the run and Big Ben picked them apart. But let's not forget about the offense of Seattle. Carolina came into town 2 weeks ago and Seattle picked them apart with a great passing game and as always a great running game. So you know Seattle has the ability to put up points in a hurry. Offense is in no short supply when it comes to Seattle and they will look to do the same against Pittsburgh. So you have two teams that are offensive minded, so what do you do? Do you take Pittsburgh who may have the better defense or do you take the high powered offense of Seattle? A tough decision either way but one thing is for sure, this will be an OVER. Remember this when you step up to the window to place your bet: Even defensive minded teams (Carolina 03') find an offense in the Super Bowl. Look for this game to go OVER. NFL 4 Hook Pittsburgh -4 Since we have not been able to use the word Bowl with Super on our radio show we have now named this game the Super Bagel. Pittsburgh has won three road games to advance to Super Bagel while the Seahawks defeated Washington 20-10 on Divisional Weekend, and easily handled Carolina 34-14 in the NFC Championship Game. Both teams have arrived thanks to great run defenses and quality quarterback play. We expect both teams to gear up to stop the offensive run game leaving the game up to the quarterbacks. So the question is do you like Ben or Matt better and which one would you put your money on? We are going with the man who never seems to lose and who we think provides more leadership than the other. Big Ben has been able to overcome his hand injury and quite simply knows how to win. Matt has played great and we expect him to continue to put up solid numbers but we like the chances of Pittsburgh to confuse him and cause a couple of key turnovers to change the complexion of the game. So we are going with the Steelers to win by more than 4 points because of better quarterback play. Another reason that we like them is that they come from the tougher conference and have beaten 3 very good football teams to get here and oh by the way, all on the road. Seattle had to beat a weak Washington at home and then soundly defeated a good Carolina team again at home. The question we have pondered was Carolina out of gas or was Seattle that good? It really does not matter; Pittsburgh has gone through the ranks and now will finally get the championship that has slipped away from them over the years. So are the points too much? Three of the last four super bagels have been decided by a field goal but the ten super bagles before that were all decided by more than 5 points. We expect the old trend to prevail and the Steelers to win by more that the 4 points. Free Pick: Prop Bet of the Week: Take two chances on the person to score first. Big Ben is at 18 to 1 and Heath Miller at 12 to 1. We can see a score for either one off play action near the end zone or on a scramble. Big Ben could also take it over the top on a sneak. There are better options but for the odds we like these two players. Please enter the Password.
