Just for the hell of it i'm going with Arizona. Wisenhunt gets revenge.

Record for most trick plays attempted in a game.

The Arizona Cardinals’ head coach, who spent six seasons as a Pittsburgh Steelers assistant, will face his former team Feb. 1 in Super Bowl XLIII.

“Like everyone else, I was a little disappointed that we couldn’t get a Super Bowl matchup with any compelling storylines,” Whisenhunt jokingly said in a statement released by the Cardinals.

“But honestly, it’s unbelievably special that we’re going to the Super Bowl under any circumstances, but now to find out that we’ll be playing the Steelers certainly takes it to another level. Obviously, that organization and the people associated with it hold a special place in my heart. From that standpoint, this is something of a dream scenario for me and many of the other coaches on our staff. I’m happy for Mr. (Dan) Rooney, Coach (Mike) Tomlin and their entire organization. We’re looking forward to a great matchup in Tampa.”

Found a very early line. Steelers by 6.5 points. Over/Under 47

Who do you like?

I like the Steelers in this one. I think Vegas is starting to show the Cards some respect.

When they played Carolina they were 10pt underdogs. I noticed that the lines changed when they played Philly. Philly went from 7pt favorites down to 3. I think I'm seeing the same thing with this one. Any who, the Steelers will win by more than 7 in my opinion. The over under is interesting. I'm inclined to go over seeing that Warner is a different type of animal in the playoffs, but the Steelers defense is bananas. I'm going to go under though.

Arizona is a good team, we've all been fooled. Well, mostly the media and the fans of teams who have played them.

They took the last couple of games of the regular season off because they didn't HAVE to win them and their 9-7 record is tricky because they faced the NFC East and the AFC East. Meanwhile we were 12-4 and took on the NFC North and AFC West. :lol:

So yeah...they're actually GOOD. But...the Steelers are better. Arizona's fun ride ends at the final stop.

Take the UNDER.

Giving these two teams two weeks to prep for the other team. Its all about defense. I'm not sayin it will bea 10-13 game but the first half will go something like 6-10. Then 2nd half is anybody's game, could get out of hand or it might stay its course. This is the reason I like the 3-4, you'll see its advantages over the 4-3 without a doubt this game.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
