I like the Cards Here....   Never know when Philly is coming to play.   Both teams are playing extremely well and the Road teams have played even better.
 
Gotta take the Carrds at home in front of a deafening CROWD.

Eagles money coming in in Vegas and moving the line. Wiseguys move the line, so I look at their investment in the Eagles. Got them on several bets at -3,ovr 47 and at -3.5 und 47. Remember the Eagles beat Cards soundly and also beat Steelers. As far as what team shows up I believe  the A-Team for the Eagles show up.

(1) This time the Philly D doesn't get to play a rookie or a QB fighting the wind and cold.  They also don't get to play a team where the #1 receiver shot himself in the leg.  Warner is hot, Fitzgerald is great and they will shred these guys.

(2) McNabb never plays well in big games.  How many times have they made it to the NFC Champ this decade?  How many wins?

(3) Westbrook is not 100%

I am not a Cards fan or a Philly-hater - just want to make the best bet.  Waiting until game day to get the best line, but will definately take...

Cards win this by 10+. McNabb will throw 60+ times, Cards 33, Eagles 19.
Good teams win games, Great teams cover the spread!

well my worst nightmare has happened.. the eagles are playing this week.. i hate them and that entire city so much i am almost willing to bet on them this week this way ill win either way.. i am willing to lose money to see them lose this weekend..

in all honesty I can see either team winning.. i think philly will have there hands full.. i think mcnabb is overrated.. i always did.. he is an average quaterback.. he did not play well last week and if the giants just played decent last week they would of won.. not sure witch way i am going to bet yet but i am leaning towards philly this way ill win either way.. go arizona!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cardinals are finally getting the running game going. If the can run the ball at all they have a good chance to win this game outright.

cards fan here:  I actually called the entire nfc playoffs so far to me friends (not on covers)...knowing that this would be the only way the cards could go to the SB is if they had the nfc championship game at home against philly.

I see some similarities between this years cards team and the colts the year they won the super bowl....yes the colts were always a good team before that year..but if my memory serves me correctly...their D and run D was worst in the league going into the playoffs.  They also had one of the worst running games in the league that year and manning was on fire with his receivers harrison and wayne....

As far as the thanksgiving game this year....

I can guarantee that Boldin will not fumble the ball twice!  I see him having a huge game as he always seem to have big days after an injury...Fitz is a beast and cannot be stopped, end of discussion!  Zona's starting TE is done and that worries me for pass protection as philly always has good blitz schemes.  Edge has been doing well in the postseason and is determined to prove he can still play for his final contract after this year.  Philly's offense has not been great by any means and the Zona D has been playing well, so I can see this game going down to the wire.  Take the points! 

I have never been to an NFL game, but I will be there at the game SUNDAY!  GO CARDS!

 

also like the ravens and the points

Eagles offense sucks, it really does. I like the home dog in the outright win here. Good luck covering Fitzgerald and  Boldin at home in the closed in dome. LOL

You guys really think that the Arizona offense is going to run up and down the field the same way they did against Atlanta and Carolina. They have not faced a good defense in the playoffs. Look at what happened to them they faced some of the better defenses in the NFL during the regular season. Minnesota(6th ranked d), Giants(5th), New England(10th), Washington(4th) and of course Eagles(3rd) all beat and covered against the Cardinals. The only top 10 def they were able to beat was the Cowboys(8th). Btw all of those games went over as well.

What if we took all the turnovers away that Arizona had in the past two games and see what their O would have scored w/o them?  
 
 While my birds have benefited from the turnover battle as well, I just think that Jimmy J's D will take the pass away and make Edge try to beat them. 
 
Atlanta with rookie QB and Carolina already thinking they were going to the NFC champ game paved the way for the red birds.
 
All good things must come to an end and vegas will be happy not to see Arizona +5000 in the superbowl.
 
Eagles 27 Arizona 20

Is the over the smart play here??
So many variableson both sides...
I think both teams are pumped up for this one.
Yes, this is the strongest team that the red birds have seen in the play offs! Dawkins will have his team ready to make the big D plays. Early pre-play Philly and the over, Hmmmmm.

Taking the home dog.  the Cards have enough offense to keep this game close at home.  imo its very tough for a team to cover three straight on the road, especially as a fave in this game.  who is really going to be shocked to see the Cards in SB, this type of crap happens every year.


Arizona +

over 47 is a smart play.  most experts are predicting scores of 50+ and one even said 33-31 Cards, but I'm not sure if I believe that.  as a Dallas fan and Philly/Mcnabb hata I"m praying the Cards win, but I would put my $$$ on Philly to win straight up and possibly cover.  but the over is probably the smartest play you can do on this game. There aren't adverse weather conditions (aren't they going to be in a dome? and neither team plays shut down D like the teams in the AFC title game).

arizona has been very impressive the last 2 weeks. They looked like they have thier offense and defense going. The win in caroline seem like the pathers didnt even show up.
 
The eagles are playing well also but at times thier offense looked a little lost. they sputtered a little but got the wins anyhow...mainly due to an excellent defense.
 
I'm going with arizona, Thier offense is 4th in the league and thier defense shut down steve smith and mussin mulhamid. Thier harder to cover than what philly's got.
Arizona moneyline....

Giants covered every playoff game last year as a wild card on the road. oh except for the superbowl, neutral.

giants weren't publicly backed like the eagles are. also, the giants were dogs in every game.

Philly and the over here.  Anyones defense is going to look brilliant when the QB throws the ball to them 5 times in a single game *cough* Delhomme *cough*.  Think about arguably the best two defenses in the league in the Steelers and Ravens.  How many times this year did they get 6 turnovers in one game?  Arizona's D has been looking good because other teams have played HORRIDLY against them, not because they're suddenly this reborn retooled amazing defense.  The Philly D led by Brian Dawkins and Asante Samuel are going to slow down the Cards enough, and McNabb with his slew of #2 receivers are going to pick apart a suspect AZ secondary.  Also, both teams have great kickers so the points should be steady the entire game.  Take the over.
