IN BRIEF

LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas oddsmakers aren't buying into the Arizona Cardinals, no matter how many times they win as underdogs this postseason.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were favored by 6½ points in most sports books to win the Feb. 1 Super Bowl after beating the Baltimore Ravens Sunday to set up the showdown for the NFL title, according to Las Vegas Sports Consultants.

The Cardinals — 45-1 longshots to start the season and 40-1 to win it all when the playoffs started — aren't getting much respect from oddsmakers.

The Cards — a No. 4-seeded NFC team playing in its first Super Bowl — are the first nine-win team to reach the big game since 1979, when the Rams lost to the Steelers. Arizona beat Philadelphia 32-25 in the NFC championship game Sunday.
