Saturday, January 3:
Arizona Cardinals
While this is not a playoff match up that many people anticipated, Saturday's Wild Card game between the Falcons and Cardinals should be quite entertaining. Matt Ryan gets most of the credit for Atlanta's stunning turnaround but the Faclons bread and butter is the ground game with Michael Turner. However, Turner has struggled to run away from home this season and we expect the Cardinals to load up in the box and force the rookie QB to win a playoff game on the road. Arizona's passing attack has been one of the best in the NFL all season and we'll take our chances with the wily veteran Kurt Warner to beat the rookie in January. The public is in love with the road favorites in this wild card round, including the Falcons, yet the line has moved in favor of the Cardinals. That should tell you all you need to know about this NFC playoff opener.
