Welcome to Gaia! ::

I saw it coming the Pats went unbeatable but they got cocky and lost it all

Also game hasn't started against the Cards and the Steelers?

I wasn't surprised that the Giants beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, but that was definitely the biggest upset in sports history.

...When you have a team that is 18-0, playing for the Championship, with a record setting season, one of the best ever offenses, and a very good defense...to get beaten by an unfavored team with miraculous plays...

Anyways, a lot of people are actually picking the Cardinals to win tonight, so it wouldn't be much of an upset. I think the Steelers are favored by 7 points, though.

I think the Cards have the edge.

Well, the Cardinals played great, and kept with it right down to the wire. But they didn't win, so you can't compare the "upsets."

me and you knew it was going to be a close game too.

If the Cardinals would have won this game, I would have called this the bigger upset.

If they would have won, they would of had to overcome a 13 point deficite, which they did till the final touchdown by Big Ben. In which no other team in Superbowl history has ever come back from being down by that much to win. They were also 9-7, no team has ever gone 9-7 in the regular season and won a Superbowl. The point spread was about the same as last year. 6 and 1/2 to 7. So over coming that much of a point spread in the Superbowl would be just as grand as the Giants from a year ago. And finally, these are the Arizona Cardinals we are talking about. Previously the laughing stock of the NFL, arguably the worst franchise in the NFL. They lacked the status and potential to with the Superbowl that the Giants had last year.

So yes, IF the Cardinals would have held on to win this game, I would have called this one the bigger upset.

Well I think that the Giants Super Bowl XLII team was better than the Cardinals Super Bowl XLIII team. But I still think that if Arizona won, then the Giants still would have owned the bigger upset. There were a few teams in the NFL this season that were very good, but there was no powerhouse. No juggernaut. No blinding force, like the Patriots of last year. 18-0 going into the Super Bowl, with the statistically best offense in NFL history, a great coach, and a very solid defense.

...Anyways, in an ESPN nationwide poll last week, 55% of the U.S. picked the Cardinals to win Super Bowl XLIII. Not to mention, the Patriots were favored by more than 10, and the Steelers were favored by just over 6.
