Atlanta Falcons will beat the Cardinals

[Proman]

I know what everybody says, the playoffs are different than the regular season and a rookie QB is not likely to win in his first playoff game. Matt Ryan is not your typical rookie. The Cards run defense is Michelin Man soft. John Abraham presents a huge problem for the Cards' leaky offensive line. Edge picked a great time to complain about his role. Falcons get the job done.

I like Arizona here. Good home field advantage and the Falcons don't do anything well. Rookie QB on the road in a hostile environment is too much IMO.

Should be a nice game either way. Thanks for the input.

Edge has been on the bench and has been complaining about his role for months. Nothing new there...

 

[ca$hmoney]

Altanta looks too good to be true. AZ has looked horrible ever since they won their division a month ago... Oh yeah, they won their division 1 MONTH AGO.

Maybe they possibly figured they had no chance at home field advantage so let's just rest everyone. You have to figure Bolden will be ready to explode this weekend.

Rookie QB and rookie coach on the road in the playoffs. Call me dumb but I gotta go against them.

 

[FearTheRaven]

Zona is a winner, especially at home.

Arizona is going to be really rusty. Take the team that has been hot and has been showing up: Atlanta.

Rusty? Starters played in every game from my understanding, they just didn't care to put in much effort. They also played all out last game to ensure they'll come into this week on a hgih note. I wouldn't assume they'll be rusty.

Will HFA really play that big a part like it would in KC, GB, PIT etc, etc...the Cards still had tickets available for the game this week hno:

Falcons can sure run the ball well as Turner finished 2nd in the league in TD's and rushing yards....

 

[DaDegenerate]

Theres no way i would ever put money on the Cardinals.

Falcons are playing good football at the right time and the Cardinals cant run or play D.

 

[Greenbacks]

Zona sucks

Falcons live to see another week :toast:

 

[READYTOROLL]

Atlanta second hottest team in league right now. :lolBIG::missingte to those who put their money on a purely one-dimensional offense with swiss cheese D!!!hno:

 

[jbragg10]

take the easier bet and go with Indy.
bank it.

Atlanta's defense is no better than 'Zonas

 

[theDonger]

Atlanta's defense is no better than 'Zonas

That being said, I think Zona has the more potent offense and you've got a SB champion QB at the helm for one team and a rookie QB first playoff game on the road ...

Arizona seems the obvious play here--- that being said, Atlanta might be the play LOL

 

[cheeseonly]

zona pass happy offense atl will always be a td behind zona & over

On my Bet365 sportsbook the Cardinals went from +2.5 to -1, and yet at -1 they are still paying 2:1.

So for what it's worth, I'm noticing at least 1 book that is practically BEGGING the public to take Arizona. The warning bells have sounded. Take that for what it's worth.

 

[DaDegenerate]

Arizona is a bad team plain and simple.

They cant run and you cant have Warner throw it 60 times and expect to win. Not to mention they have no defense what so ever.

This team does not belong in the playoffs

Yeah right, Ariz giving 1 and getting 2:1, I'll put at least a dime on that if that's the case. Anyways, Arizona wins tomorrow, around 65% of the public on them and the line goes from +2.5 to +1 or pk. Don't underestimate home field advantage in the NFL in the playoffs, no matter how good it looks, same with Baltimore, I'm all over the Fins at 3.5.

 

[TheWolf]

Gotta believe Kurt Warner with his experience & home field crowd will be the difference.

Okay, your just bashing the Cards D when the Falcons just gave up 27 points to the god awful St. Louis Rams.
