Every play of the big game between the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers is going to be under the microscope. Now you can play along at home during the live broadcast (Feb. 1, 6:00 p.m., NBC).

Some bets are about strategy (pass or run) and some are about results (made or missed field goal). You need to have your statistics handy in either case – this is a good time to set up a handicapper’s “war room” if you haven’t already. But you also need an understanding of the coaches involved in order to make a sharp bet on strategies. You should at least know that Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt was Pittsburgh’s offensive co-ordinator from 2004-06.

Otherwise, make sure to place several small bets instead of putting all your eggs in one basket. It’s a cliché because it’s true. You can get all your Super Bowl live betting with Bodog on the big day!
