As Super Sunday gets closer there is a growing feeling that the Arizona Cardinals are a better bet to win than oddsmakers are predicting. (AP Images)"]

The Cards are 7-point underdogs but you have to remember they were also underdogs in all three wins in the playoffs so far.

So why are so many people siding with Arizona?

Well they may have an ace in the hole in head coach Ken Whisenhunt. Who would have a better idea of how to stop Ben Roethlisberger and company than the man who spent three years calling their plays? Plus, Whisenhunt may have picked up a few hints on how to attack the Steelers D.

Then there is Larry Fitzgerald, who has been a one-man highlight reel in the postseason with 23 receptions for 419 yards and five touchdowns. He had three scores in Arizona's 32-25 win over Philadelphia in the NFC title game.
