SUPER BOWL PICKS!!!

Let the crazy Super Bowl wagers begin... (sorry, I haven't placed any bets on whether Fergie wears a thong or bodysuit during her halftime show, though that was one of the options at my disposal). I may have more picks before Sunday, but in the meantime........

1st half total points (both teams) +.5 2nd half/OT total points (both teams)

DeVoodoo's pick: 2nd half

In other words, I'm giving a half-point while betting more points will be scored in the second half (plus possible overtime) than the first half. This is easily my favorite gamble of the weekend.

A.J. Hawk total tackless for the game O/U @ 6.5

DeVoodoo's pick: UNDER

Hawk is a bust. Why would he suddenly shine in the Super Bowl?

Rashard Mendenhall 1st half total yards -16.5 yards James Starks 1st half total yards

DeVoodoo's pick: Mendenhall

This wager counts rushing/receiving yard totals only. I'm happy to give 16.5 yards to Starks in this one-on-one battle, especially during the first half, when the Steelers defense will be fresh and offering little wiggle room to the rookie running back on a pass-first team.

Aaron Rodgers 1st half completions -1.5 Ben Roethlisberger 1st half completions

DeVoodoo's pick: Rodgers

Why wouldn't Rodgers complete more balls than Rapemyhamburger?

Steelers TEAM O/U @ 20.5

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER

Three TDs for the Steelers over the span of the entire game seems awfully attainable to me.
