The Ken Whisenhunt Impact

It seems like Super Bowl betting is the only thing anyone is talking about nowadays. While there are in fact plenty of other things to talk about, such as the NHL All-Star Game, the Senior Bowl, and the new episode of Lost, let's talk more about the big game, Super Bowl XLIII betting, and Super Bowl commercials.

More importantly, let's chat about Ken Whisenhunt. If you've noticed, this is my second consecutive post with his face on it—maybe I'm doing something wrong.

So, Whisenhunt is the former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator. As a matter of fact, he left the Steelers to take the Arizona Cardinals head coaching job after the Steelers won the Super Bowl.

Whisenhunt is a crafty coordinator, but I don't know that he has much knowledge of the new Steelers offense. The Steelers have become a pass-oriented offense and Ben Roethlisberger has way more passing weapons than he had before.

Whisenhunt knows personnel. And he knows Roethlisberger. And he knows Hines Ward. And the offensive line.

But aside from personnel knowledge, I don't know that he can help the Cardinals with much more than that. In some cases, that's enough (see: Don Nelson and Golden State Warriors upset No. 1 seed Dallas Mavericks). In this case, it won't be. Especially since it's the Steelers defense with which the Cardinals will need additional help.

The Cardinals also blew their wad—so to speak—by using their gadget play last week. They won't catch the Steelers off-guard now.

Who will win the Super Bowl? We're just over a week and a half from finding out. Check back tomorrow for more analysis and insight into Super Bowl 43 betting.
