Football Betting Lines
03/09/2010 -
Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly
agreed to terms with safety Ryan Clark and are also set to bring wide receiver
Antwaan Randle El back to the Steel City.
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Clark agreed to a four-year deal
worth $14 million late Monday night, while Randle El will come back to
Pittsburgh with a three-year pact.
Clark was an unrestricted free agent who spent the past four seasons in
Pittsburgh and has also played for Washington and the New York Giants. He
reportedly visited the Miami Dolphins on Monday before deciding to return to
the Steelers.
The 30-year-old LSU product had 89 tackles and three interceptions last
season. He spent his first two NFL seasons with the Giants, then played two
years with the Redskins before joining the Steelers for the 2006 season.
Randle El joined Washington after Pittsburgh's Super Bowl winning season in
2005 and spent the last four years with the Redskins. He started just three of
the team's 16 games in 2009 and finished with 50 receptions for 530 yards.
The 30-year-old Indiana product was a quarterback in college, but made the
move to receiver with the Steelers. He has 348 career catches for 4,214 yards
with 15 touchdowns, and has also thrown four touchdown passes.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
