We’ve been talking about the Super Bowl for a while now and online sports betting handicappers are getting focused as the game approaches. Before you lay it down (i.e. bet sports), let’s take a quick look back at the history of the series.

This will be the 59th meeting between the two teams and the Steelers hold the series lead (32-23-3).

The teams played last year in Arizona, with the Cardinals winning, 21-14.If you recall, that was a big matchup because it was Ken Whisenhunt’s/Russ Grimm’s first meeting against their former team. The Cardinals got a big boost from a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown by Steve Breaston, which was the team’s first punt return for a score since 1993.

This is the two team’s first meeting in the postseason, and really, those who bet sports know that postseason meetings are more vital than regular season meetings.

I know that online sports betting handicappers always want another tidbit, so here is one: the two franchises merged their rosters all the way back in 1944 and performed as Card-Pitt, finishing with a 0-10 record.
