Born to Run I guess, who cares. Will the game's first TD result in a spike, back flip or muscle flex? Spike its simpleWhich Player Will Score? Spikey Haired ReedWill There Be a Safety? No, what a dumb betWho Wins the Coin Toss? The Cardinals ObviouslyWill Anheuser-Busch (nyse: BUD - news - people ) show more ads for Bud or Bud Light?

All the odds are listed in this post, in case you missed it.Toward the end of the pregame show, Barack Obama predicted that the "Steelers are going to eek it out in a close one".
