![]() The Pittsburgh Steelers will try and win their record sixth NFL title as they play the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl odds on Sunday at 6:25pm EST on NBC. The Steelers definitely have the experience edge against the Cardinals who are playing in their first ever Super Bowl but one area that they don’t is at quarterback. Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner will be playing in his third Super Bowl, having won one and lost one as quarterback of the St. Louis Rams. His counterpart, Ben Roethlisberger will be playing in his second Super Bowl, having won Super Bowl XL just a few years ago. Warner threw for 30 touchdowns and 4,583 yards this season, leading the Cardinals to the NFC West title and three straight upset victories in this year’s playoffs. Super Bowl bookmakers have the Steelers -7 point favorites in Super Bowl XLIII odds against the Cardinals with a total of 46.5. One of the key matchups in the Super Bowl will be Arizona’s 4th ranked offense against Pittsburgh’s top ranked defense. The Steelers did not allow a 300-yard passer all season. They will definitely get tested by Warner and his talented receivers led by All-Pro Larry Fitzgerald who has already set a postseason record with 419 yards. "Larry Fitzgerald is quite simply, the best receiver in the world down the field in one-on-one situations," Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin said. "If we're to be successful in Tampa, we need to limit the number of times we're downfield with him one-on-one. Invariably, he's going to come up with the football. The (video) tape tells us that." Last year in Arizona, the Steelers lost 21-14 to the Cardinals and Fitzgerald had 10 catches for 120 yards. On the other side of the ball the Steelers are happy that wide receiver Hines Ward will be in the game. "I don't have a brace on, I'm walking around fine," Ward said, "I'm not going to be 100 percent; I'm not going to trick anybody. But I think I'm going to be able to go out there and perform like I'm used to." Super Bowl odds at the Hilton sportsbook have the Steelers -6.5 point Super Bowl betting favorites over the Cardinals with a betting total of 46.5 in Super Bowl XLIII odds.
