------------
Now for this round, everyone must still wager all their points. The deadline for making your picks will be 6:00 pm EST on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb 1, 2009.
We get tricky in the championship round because we allow for more complicated wagering with multiple options. In this round, you can bet your points using the following lines:
Spread Wagers:
Steelers vs Cardinals (entire game) +7.5
Steelers vs Cardinals (first half) +3.5
Steelers vs Cardinals (first quarter) +1.5
Over/Under Wagers:
Over/Under (entire game): 47.5
Over/Under (first half): 22.5
Over/Under (first quarter): 10.5
Over/Under (fourth quarter): 12.5
Money Line Wagers:
Steelers -280
Cardinals +230
With the money line wagers you are picking the straight up winner. A 10 point wager on the Cardinals to win as underdog would win you 23 points, while you would have to wager 28 points on the Steelers to win to win 10 points.
You may also parlay any two or three or four of the spread or over/under lines (money line bets may not be parlayed) for a payout of 3:1, 4.5:1, or 6:1, respectively.
To win a parlay bet, all of the wagers in the parlay must win or you lose the entire wager.
You can use any number of combinations that your point total will allow. You can make several regular bets, or different parlays, or a combination of both. You cannot parlay more than four bets per play however.

If you have questions about any of this, just ask on this thread. Someone will be able to help you explain.
This is the thread on which to make your picks.
Good luck!
