The Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl payout may not be that big now but if you were lucky enough to bet on the Steelers at the start of the season, you would be looking at a pretty nice return on your investment. A $100 futures wagers on the Pittsburgh Steelers to win Super Bowl XLIII in August 2008 was 10 to 1 odds giving bettors a $1000 payout. The current Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl payout is a pricey -235 odds (Bet $235 to win $100).
“Heading into the today’s big game, the Steelers are seven point favorites to win Super Bowl XLIII,” stated Point-Spreads.com Publisher Thomas Jensen when asked to comment on the 2009 Super Bowl payout potential of the Pittsburgh Steelers. “While several analysts and NFL Picks experts predict a Pittsburgh win, the sports betting public has been putting their cash on the Cardinals. At the beginning of the week, the Steelers were posting odds at -260 and then eventually slid to a -235 money line by Saturday afternoon. At this rate Steelers backers should start grabbing the Steelers ML now because the general public bets late and usually go on the favorite which will drive this number up.”
Bet on Ben Roethlisberger total passing yards, O/U 259.5 at Sportsbook.com. As far as we know, both Ben Roethlisberger and Hines Ward have overcome their injuries and are fit to play this Sunday in Super Bowl XLIII. Ben is the leader of the team and even though there are four rookies on the offensive line, they are all very close.
“A second report surfaced this week about Ben Roethlisberger receiving an X-ray on his back this week,” stated Football Picks Expert Mike Jones from 1800-Sports.com. “This might have something to do with the Steelers Super Bowl money line changing, along with Hines Ward knee injury. Roethlisberger did take a brutal hit to his back during the AFC Championship game but he didn’t miss a snap after that.”
“Like a lot of the situations that go on with Ben's medical status,” stated Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. “I don't know where that report came from. Ben is fine. He is going to play."
''I feel close to this group,'' stated Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. ''The guys who are starting now, I'm kind of the old guy, and can take that big brother role. I want them to know how much I care about them. They're my livelihood. They protect me.''
