A look at the 2009 Super Bowl betting lines for Thursday show that around 30 percent of online sportsbooks have moved the number to Steelers -6 ½.  This is a sharp contrast to Wednesday when only around 10 percent of online sportsbooks offered the -6 ½ Super Bowl betting line.

In Las Vegas,  the Hilton continued to offer up a line of -6 ½ on Pittsburgh as well.

The half point difference from the -7 offered at most online sportsbooks and in Vegas can mean the world.  With a -6 ½ line, a Pittburgh touchdown win pays gamblers while the 7 point line would result in a "push" (nobody gets paid).

2009 Super Bowl lines monitored by Gambling911.com showed the following:

 

BetUS.com - Steelers -6 ½

Bookmaker.com - Steelers -6 1/2

Pinnacle Sports (non US customers only) Steelers - Steelers -6 ½

betED.com - Steelers -7

BetJamaica - Steelers -7
Sportsbook.com - Steelers -7

WSEX - Steelers -7

Belmont - Steelers -7

William Hill (non US) - Steelers -7

 

"So the trend appears to be a move down a half point to -6 ½," commented Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com. 

At press time Thursday afternoon, the gambling public was on the Arizona Cardinals slightly more than the Steelers at 55/45 action, however, approximately 85 percent of the money line action was on the Cardinals (Arizona to win outright and paying $200 for every $100 bet).

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
