2009 Super Bowl Proposition Odds For Steelers-Cardinals

Several fantasy football betting odds often known as Super Proposition Bets are already up for Super Bowl XLIII between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals.

Who will be the first Pittsburgh Steelers player to score a touchdown? Willie Parker heads the list at +250 followed by a pair of wide receivers. Hines Ward is +300 and Santonio Holmes is +375.

Don’t look for Ben Roethlisberger to score in a keeper. He is +900 to get into the endzone first. Vegas lines are also posted on Nate Washington, Heath Miller, Limas Sweed, Mewelde Moore, Gary Russell and even Troy Polamulu.

Larry Fitzgerald, who dominated the Eagles in the NFC Championship, is the favorite to score Arizona‘s first touchdown at +250. Fellow wideouts Anquan Boldin is +350, while Steve Breaston is +500. Running backs Edgerrin James is +375 and Tim Hightower +375. Both Jerheme Urban and J.J. Arrington are +750.

There are the usual proposition bets on which each QB Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner will do first: throw an interception or touchdown. Which quarterback throws more interceptions in the game or more yards?

BetUs Sportsbook, Bodog Life and Bookmaker are the sportsbooks with the best lists so far. The more eccentric odds that match players in the game against the likes of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James will come out closer to game time.
