Two non-playoff teams would be favored vs. Cards.

Las Vegas, Nevada (January 20, 2009) – Arizona is a touchdown underdog vs. Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLIII. Amazingly, according to RJ Bell of Pregame.com, the Cards would be underdogs against 10 different NFL teams.

In addition to the Steelers, the teams that would currently be favored over Arizona on a neutral field are: Eagles, Giants, Panthers, Cowboys, Ravens, Titans, Colts, Patriots, and Chargers.

RJ Bell of Pregame.com said: “Sportsbooks accept millions of dollars of bets based upon their opinion, which they hold in a higher regard than the outcome of the NFL playoff system.”

Noteworthy is the fact that two non-playoff teams – New England and Dallas – would be favored over the NFC Champion Cardinals.

Arizona won three straight games as underdogs to reach Super Bowl XLIII. “Considering the odds on Arizona’s playoff games, the likelihood of the Cards winning all three was 26 to 1 against,” said RJ Bell of Pregame.com.

Pittsburgh would be favored by at least a field goal against any other NFL team.
