Betting on the Super Bowl 2010
 

Last year the Super Bowl drew the biggest audience ever, 98.7 million viewers, as the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals for the title on NBC. This year, analysts are predicting that the game could top 100 million for the first time ever, based on huge numbers for the NFL regular and postseason as well as the presence of the New Orleans Saints, a feel-good story four years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf, and superstar Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning.
