Steelers Over Under Win Total

James Harrison’s Super Bowl interception and return for a touchdown is one of the best plays in NFL history. The NFL ranked it as the seventh-best play in its first 100 years, and that seems low.

The Chiefs are currently 6-1, but there is -155 juice on the under.

There are some people who don’t think that play was all too great.

One of them came when Harrison picked off Kurt Warner, and kept running 100 yards down the sideline as the first half ended.

James Harrison’s interception was huge for bettors

The point spread for the full game was Cardinals +7, but many people had Arizona +3 for the first half. You already can see where this is going.

The Cardinals trailed 10-7 with 18 seconds left in the first half. They had marched all the way down to the Steelers’ 2-yard line and had first-and-goal.

Anyone holding a Cardinals +3 ticket for the first half had to feel like they’d get a push at least. Most likely, the Cardinals were going to get at least a field goal, tie the game going into the half and cover the first-half spread. To lose the bet, the Steelers would have to score in the final 18 seconds, when they were backed up at their own 2 and didn’t have the ball.

If you had a Steelers first half ticket, what happened next was a dream. Warner, a Hall of Fame quarterback, made a bad mistake. Warner didn’t assume Harrison would be dropping into a zone, but he did. When Warner tried hitting Anquan Boldin on a quick slant, Harrison was there to pick him off. That alone still didn’t kill the Cardinals first-half bettors. What happened next did.

Harrison just kept going. A few Cardinals had a shot to tackle him but didn’t.. Larry Fitzgerald would have caught him but ran into a teammate on the sideline. Harrison barely got in the end zone as he was brought down. The Steelers led 17-7 at the half. Cardinals first-half bettors wondered what happened.

Presumably some of them had the under for the game, which seemed pretty safe too late in the fourth quarter.

Late flurry of points pushes Super Bowl over the total

Steelers Over Under Win Total Loss

The over/under for the game was 46. With a little more than three minutes left in the game, the score was 20-14. A tie and overtime seemed unlikely, so to lose the under, there would need to be at least 13 points scored in the final three minutes. Possible, but not likely.

A safety was called on the Steelers for holding in the end zone. That didn’t seem like a big deal at the time for under bettors. But it was the beginning of a bad beat.

Two plays after the safety, Fitzgerald split the safeties down the middle of the field and took a pass 64 yards for a touchdown. The Steelers trailed 23-20. The total was still under with 2:37 left, but now the path to the over was clear.

Steelers fans weren’t upset with what happened next. Ben Roethlisberger led a drive downfield, and Santonio Holmes made one of the iconic catches in Super Bowl history on the sideline with 35 seconds left. The game went over the total. And yes, Harrison’s crazy interception return factored in that as well.

What Was The Over Under On The Steelers Game

That Steelers Super Bowl win was one of the most memorable games in NFL history. It was memorable for bettors too, with two rough bad beats.
