Free Winning Super Bowl Picks: Steelers versus Cardinals: 10 Reasons why the Cardinals will cover!
What a bunch of fair weather fans our readers are. We went 4-0 Championship Sunday and nobody, not one person, even said nice job on this website or on Facebook. Nobody!!! Oh well. I guess our mediocre regular season records could not be made up by one great NFL playoff weekend. On the NFL postseason, RPJ $yndicate is 7-4 and Runny is 1-0. We are going to pick the game and the O/U for you.
Marisa Miller is H-O-T, hot hot hot.
Our scouts down in Tampa tell us this is not one for the ages. The media is playing this up as an even fan base but in reality this is Pittsburgh South. The Cards do not have many fans down there at all and we anticipate a Steelers crowd in the magnitude of 80-20. As far as the scene and the general excitement around the Super Bowl, the economy is having an impact. Parties are being canceled (Playboy), parties are selling tickets to the public because sponsors pulled out (Reggie Bush’s party for $350), the Super Bowl TV spots were sold out only two days ago and even Cash 4 Gold was able to buy a tv spot. This is not THE event this year. The Cardinals killed it. Just wanted to provide some insight into the general scene.
Steelers versus Cardinals (+7 and OVER/UNDER 46.5)
RPJ $yndicate is picking the Cards to cover and taking the OVER and here are 10 reasons why:
1) QB: Warner holds Super Bowl passing records and has proven that he can execute in the 4th quarter in the big game. Big Ben does not win games for this year’s Steelers, the defense does. Yes defense wins championships, but all we need is a Cards cover. One of Big Ben’s most horrible games of his career was in the Super Bowl against the Seahawks. Huge edge for the Cards
2) Cards Offense: These guys are scoring at will on anybody. Destroyed Carolina on the road, destroyed the Eagles, these guys are legit. We think they can score on anybody. Steelers can only use Troy P. to double one WR, Cards have 2 that are ridiculous, one that is very good (Breaston) and can throw really to anybody else.
3) The “Hot” Factor: The Cards are hot. They solidified their defense for the playoffs, found the run with a rested Edge and just have a nasty attitude going on right now. Their QB has won a Super Bowl, their coaches have played in and coached in Super Bowls and they look unstoppable right now. Giants pulled this off last year and the Colts prior. Always beware the hot team.
4) The over is 38-13 in Arizona’s last 51 games as an underdog.
5) Las Vegas Sports Consultants: We won using these guys in the Championship round. LVSC opened the line at Steelers -6.5 and O/U 46.5. Since the line is now Steelers -7, we get to benefit half a point from what LVSC thought the perfect line was going to be. Read last week’s post if you want to understand this more.
6) Over the past 13 Super Bowls where there have been 2 different seeds, the lower team has covered 12 out of 13 times. The underdog is 2-1 in Tampa Bay Super Bowls. Go Cards
7) O-line: Cardinals left tackle Mike Gandy has started 35 straight games since joining the Cards in 2007. This year he only gave up 6.5 sacks and committed one holding penalty. Winning the battle of the line is key. In the last 13 Super Bowls, the sack leader was has won 12 of those games and is 8-3-2 ATS. Steelers are known for their sacks but did you know the Steelers were only +2 in net sacks on the season? Cards were +3.
Red zone offense: We jumped all over this in the Cards/Eags game. Red zone O is critical. Arizona is ranked 9th in red zone touchdown percentage, the Steelers are ranked 15th. Seems close but in reality, the Cards scored 72 more red zone points and had 16 more possessions in the red zone than the Steelers.
9) Coaching: The Whiz, Ken Whisenhunt is the key to this game. Remember when Gruden went to Tampa and coached his Bucs to a commanding win over the Raiders. Whiz has this advantage too. Willie Parker admitted that Whiz knows him better than he knows himself and said he knows the same about Big Ben and the rest of the Steelers. The Whiz beat the Steelers last year, sacked Big Ben 4 times and picked him off twice. Do not underestimate this.
Before we get to number 10, here are the ATS numbers:
Steelers
Cardinals
10) Brenda Warner: We ain’t betting against this hottie!!!!
and there you have ot folks. 10 reasons why the Cards will cover in this game. We might even throw some cash down on the moneyline. We are also hitting the OVER and actually think nthe over is the best bet of the day. Enjoy the Super Bowl.

Baltimore at Tennessee (-3 and OVER/UNDER 34)
RPJ is taking Baltimore to cover and her is why: Defense, Defense, defense and Cam Cameron! Cam Cameron is a genius of an offensive coordinator to get Flacco to play like he has played. Flacco did not light up the field last week but he did not make mistakes and blow the game either. Just ask Trent Dilfer; game management out of your QB is critical when your defense is jacked and this Baltimore defense is incredibly jacked. In their first game, Baltimore had this game in hand and gave up 10 points in the 4th quarter to lose 13-10 and giving up the game winning TD with less than 2 minutes to go in the game. The Titans and Ravens have two of the best defenses in the NFL. Tennessee had the second-ranked scoring defense, allowing 14.6 points per game, while Baltimore had the third-ranked, giving up 15.3. Baltimore was second in total yards allowed (277.1) while Tennessee was tied for fifth. Tennessee is banged up as well. Starting center Kevin Mawae is injured, Albert Haynesworth is coming back from injury but his effectiveness will not be known until they strap em up. The Ravens are hot and won five of their last 6 and won on the road in the playoffs last week. The ATS numbers:
Baltimore
- Ravens are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. AFC.
- Ravens are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after accumulating more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game.
- Ravens are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games.
- Ravens are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
- Ravens are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 playoff road games.
- Ravens are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog of 0.5-3.0.
- Ravens are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a SU win of more than 14 points.
- Ravens are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games on grass.
- Ravens are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a S.U. win.
- Ravens are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog.
- Ravens are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
- Ravens are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game.
- Ravens are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.
- Ravens are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog of 0.5-3.0.
- Ravens are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.
- Ravens are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
- Ravens are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game.
Tennessee
- Titans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a S.U. loss.
- Titans are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.
- Titans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.
- Titans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
- Titans are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a SU loss of more than 14 points.
- Titans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating less than 250 total yards in their previous game.
- Titans are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games on grass.
- Titans are 14-4-1 ATS in their last 19 games as a home favorite of 0.5-3.0.
- Titans are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games overall.
- Titans are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games.
- Titans are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 vs. AFC.
- Titans are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game.
- Titans are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game.
- Titans are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite.
- Titans are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite of 0.5-3.0.
- Titans are 25-10-2 ATS in their last 37 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game.
Head-to-Head
- Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
- Ravens are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings in Tennessee.
- Underdog is 13-4 ATS in their last 17 meetings.
- Ravens are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings.
Vegas is basically saying these teams are even by giving the Titans a 3 point edge. We think at worst we get a push if the Titans win by three again but deep down we think the Ravens win outright. Their defense is playing on another level right now and we think they have the will to win.
Arizona at Carolina (-9.5 and OVER/UNDER 48.5)
RPJ is taking Carolina to win and cover and here is why: Arizona might be the second worst road team in the league to the Detroit Lions. The Panthers are 8-0 at home and the Cards are 0-5 on road trips to the Eastern time zone and suffered horrible losses in these games by losing by an average of 20 points but there was one exception…the first game against the Panthers. The Cards lost 27-23 and were actually winning 17-3 early in the third quarter but Warner was intercepted in the red zone and game over. More on the Cards road woes…The Cards are 2-20 in their last 22 games in the eastern time zone. All people want to talk about is Kurt Warner. Well Jake Delhomme is 54-32 as a starter, 5-2 in the playoffs and has a 95.0 passer rating in the playoffs in his career. Not too shabby. He also has an awesome line and two jacked RBs.
The ATS numbers:
Arizona
- Cardinals are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as an underdog of 3.5-10.0.
- Cardinals are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog.
- Cardinals are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.
- Cardinals are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog of 3.5-10.0.
- Cardinals are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
- Cardinals are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
- Cardinals are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog.
Panthers
- Panthers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.
- Panthers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 playoff games.
- Panthers are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite.
- Panthers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games.
- Panthers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 3.5-10.0.
- Panthers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
- Panthers are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 home games.
- Panthers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game.
- Panthers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games in January.
- Panthers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite.
- Panthers are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games on grass.
- Panthers are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game.
- Panthers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game.
- Panthers are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
The Cards have not impressed on the road and the Panthers are coming off two weeks of rest. Also, Boldin is definitely injured and may or may not be a factor in this game. Yes the Cards still have Fitzgerald and Breaston but they have close to no running game. This is a tall order for the Cards and we think this is the beatdown of the weekend. 56% of the action is on the Cards and the line moved from -9.5 to -10. Buyer beware! Also, weather will likely be a factor and we saw what east coast weather did to the Cards in the Pats game.

Philadelphia at NY Giants (-4 and OVER/UNDER 40)
RPJ is taking the Giants to win and cover and here is why: The experts want to talk about how the Eagles are the hot team right now and the Giants only won one of their last 4 games. That game did get them home field advantage but the G-men limped to the finish. The Eagles, after a Ravens arse raping and McNabb benching, won 4 of 5 and got some help to make the playoffs. Then with the help of 4 FGs, a defensive TD and one big Westbrook play, took care of the Vikes last week. To understand our pick we are going to break down these games for you based on why the experts are telling you to take the Eagles and why that is false logic.
False Logic #1 = The Giants are at a competititive disadvantage minus Plaxico and Shockey because these two players dominated the Eagles. WRONG!!!!! The Giants won the first game against the Eagles in Philly and Plaxico caught one pass. One Pass!!! The Giants won this game because they ran the ball 45 times for 219 yards, had 26 first downs and held the ball for 39 minutes and 10 seconds. Eli only had 191 yards passing and was 17 for 31. They won because they pounded Jacobs.
False Logic #2 = The Eagles crushed the Giants in NY because they are the hot team and better team and will do it again. Wrong wrong wrong. The Giants had a bye in week 3 and then played 13 straight games. The Giants were worn down, Jacobs was hurt, they had a big lead in the NFC East and Plaxico has just shot himself sucking the wind out of the team for the week. The Giants only ran the ball 24 times. Jacobs did have 10 carries for 52 yards but had to leave the game with an injury. Akers does not like kicking in the Meadowlands and he missed two FG in this game, one on a block.
The Giants feed off of being the underdog and you know they have heard all of the talk that the Eagles are hot and are the “Giants” of 2009. When Justin Tuck is even saying the the Eagles are the hottest team in in the NFL right now you kow the G-men are using that as motivation. Here is the deal with the Eagles: The Giants have won three of the last 4 meetings and six of nine; Brian Westbrook is injured and not practicing this week, the Eagles are flat out bad in the red zone and have been all year. they were last week and they were in famous games this year like when they played the Bears and could not get one freaking yard. We are not convinced this game will even be close. Giants are coming off the bye, Jacobs is healthy and they love proving people wrong. The Giants are the most healthy they have been since October. All 53 of the players on their 53 man roster practiced this week. If the Vikes had any sort of QB last week, they would have easily won that game.

- Eagles are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 playoff games as an underdog.

Whale’s Vagina at Pittsburgh (-6 and OVER/UNDER 38)
RPJ Is taking San Diego to cover and here is why: We are least confident about this pick and are probably parlaying the other three games. We do nto think the Chargers win this game but we are playing them to cover. This line seems high. This was the infamous Troy P. ref muffed game where Troy returned the TD to cover for the Burg and the refs effed it up and disallowed it. This was the first 11-10 game in NFL history. Pittsburgh did not score a TD in three trips to the red zone and were flagged for 13 penalties. San Diego is on a 5 game winning streak and has averaged 34.4 points per game over that stretch. San Diego did only muster 66 yards in the first meeting and that was with LDT who is out for this game. Interesting stat here…San Diego is 2-13 in 15 trips to San Diego but the two wins were in the playoffs. So San Diego is on a hot streak and scoring points and Pittsburgh has an awesome defense but can not score points. Pittsburgh has only scored 8 TDs in seven games against teams that made the playoffs. We think the Chargers can keep this game closer than 6 points.
And nobody looks like this in Pittsburgh!

Adriana Lima = Money in the Bank!
RPJ $yndicate Picks
New England at Miami (Pick ‘EM)- Revenge is a bitch. People always say that revenge is never a factor. When they say that they are either flat out liars or born on Mars and YES it does apply in the NFL, and doubley so when you are embarassed in your own building with some freaky ass Wildcat offense. Think about this season right now. If we could tell you that New England was tied with Miami in the standings, looking up at the Jets and one of these two teams had to win this game to keep up or tie the Jets in the standings….who do you bet on? Answer to yourself. Then we tell you that the Patriots are a pick ‘em in this very scenario. Does it stop to make you think? Well we are. This is also a true line, as far as we can tell, almost 90% of the money is on the Pats and the line has moved from -3 to -1 or pick em depending on what you can get. Here are the ATS numbers:
Pats
- Patriots are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss.
- Patriots are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game.
- Patriots are 17-4-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a S.U. loss.
- Patriots are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
- Patriots are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 road games.
- Patriots are 36-16-1 ATS in their last 53 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game.
- Patriots are 35-17-1 ATS in their last 53 vs. AFC East.
- Patriots are 43-21-3 ATS in their last 67 games on grass.
Fins
- Dolphins are 12-31-1 ATS in their last 44 home games.
- Dolphins are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
- Dolphins are 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 games after allowing less than 250 total yards in their previous game.
- Dolphins are 6-20-2 ATS in their last 28 vs. AFC East.
- Dolphins are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game.
Throw in the fact that the road team is 5-2 in their last 7 meetings and we think you know where we are going with this. Pats have revenge, anger coming off a loss to the Jets at home, 3 days extra rest, Belichik and Matt Cassel who just happened to lead his team to 400 passing yards, 60 yards rushing, a 4th quarter game tying comeback all in his last start. Yes, we know the pats are injured on both sides of the ball and do not have a real RB. But did you know that the Pats actually run for more yards per game than the Fins. Bet you didn’t! We are taking the Pats to cover and win outright.
Carolina at Atlanta (-1) - Panthers have been winning ugly but the key is they have been WINNING and they are looking to win their 4th straight road game. Carolina has not lost in Atlanta since 2004. This is make or break time for Atlanta with 3 of their next 4 games against division opponents. Carolina has won 4 in a row and is one game up on Tampa and 2 up on Atlanta. John Fox and his team know how important this game is. Atlanta is too young to comprehend what the NFL is all about come the end of November. Here are the ATS numbers:
Panthers
- Panthers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.
- Panthers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on field turf.
- Panthers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game.
- Panthers are 41-19-1 ATS in their last 61 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game.
Falcons
- Falcons are 2-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
- Falcons are 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
- Falcons are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games in Week 12.
- Falcons are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. NFC South.
Head-to-Head
- Panthers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings.
- Road team is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.
Well that about does it. Rookie QB versus the Panthers D in a game that means a heck of a lot more to the Panthers. Panthers know they need to keep their lead and keep up with the #2 spot to get a bye in the playoffs. Falcons are just along for the ride. We are taking the Panthers to cover and we are sure they win!
Runny Pelvis Picks
NY Jets at Tennessee(-5.5): The Titans have been a HUGE surprise this year. So have the Jets. If you told me at the start of the year that at the end of November the Titans would be undefeated and the Jets would be in 1st place, I would have punched you in the face for spreadin’ lies. But, that is where we find ourselves. The Titans have been cover demons this year, and I like them to cover in this one. Why? Two words: Brett Favre. He has been playing with the house’s money for about years now. This week he goes into Tennessee to face the AFC’s best team, and arguably, the best D he has faced all year. The Titans know how to play D. They force turnovers and they will do the same this week. Favre will turn the ball over too much. Titans will win and cover.
Texans @ Browns (OVER 50.5): This is a lot of points to score in a NFL game, but these teams cannot stop anyone. I think they can put their heads together and make it a debacle. The weather is going to be terrible. It will be sloppy. That probably lends itself to taking the Under, but I have faith in how terrible these teams are. I’m taking the OVER 50.5.
49ers @ Cowboys (-9.5):If it was 15 years ago, this game would be the game of the year.But, it is 2008 and these teams are major disappointments. I like the Boys at home this week. Romo has his legs under him and he has had another week to work with Roy Williams. I think they are due for a solid offensive output game. They key to this game, however, is how solid the Boys D has been in recent weeks. They should shut down the 49ers. Although the Boys have a tendency to play down to teams, I think they will pull out the cover. I’m taking the Boys-9.5.
Runny’s Quadruple Trap Special:This is the debut of the Quadruple Trap Special!! I spotted four games this week where Vegas is trying to lure you into their clutches. Don’t fall for the trap!! Here are the games:
1). Bears @ Rams (+7.5): Don’t ask questions. Take the Rams and the points.
2). Giants @ Cards (+3): Again, don’t ask questions. Take the Cards and the points.
3). Raiders @ Broncos (+9): After the week one game, this is begging you to take the Broncos. That is not even the trap! Trust me. Take the Raiders and the points.
