If Kurt Warner is going to lead his Arizona Cardinals to a win in the Super Bowl, he’ll need to abide by these 10 commandments:

  1. Avoid turning the ball over. Warner has not coughed one up yet in the playoffs.
  2. Have a successful opening play. Warner is listed at -200 to complete his first pass attempt.
  3. Throw to Larry Fitzgerald as much as possible.
  4. Pray that the offensive line keeps the Steelers D in check.
  5. Stay cool in the pocket.
  6. Score first. Super Bowl teams scoring first are 27–15, 14-7 on a TD.
  7. Embrace the role of being a 7-point underdog.
  8. Keep the offense rolling. Teams that score more than 32 points are 18-0 straight up.
  9. Don't get sacked. In the last 13 Super Bowls, the sack leader has won 12 of those games.
  10. Maintain QB rating. If Warner maintains his current rating and wins, it would be the seventh-highest rating of all time.
