Cardinals lock up S Wilson for five years

Football Betting Lines

06/04/2009 - Tempe, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Arizona Cardinals will keep one of their premier defenders for possibly the remainder of his career, agreeing to a new five-year contract with strong safety Adrian Wilson on Thursday. Terms of the contract were not released.

Wilson, who could have become a free agent at the end of the 2009 season, is now under contract through the 2013 campaign.

The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Wilson is the longest tenured Cardinal, helping guide the team to their first Super Bowl appearance last year, when he compiled 85 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and two interceptions.

The 29-year-old North Carolina State product has made two Pro Bowl appearances in his eight years with Arizona. Wilson has played in 118 regular season games -- 100 starts -- and recorded 651 tackles, 18 interceptions, 18 1/2 sacks and 10 forced fumbles.

Wilson is on the verge of becoming just the ninth player in NFL history with at least 20 sacks and 20 interceptions in their career.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy.

Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

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.
