Falcons favored
by 3, as are the Ravens and Beagles while Colts are pick 'em. So, not one Division winner is favored to win AT HOME Go Cards!

It comes down to if the Cardinals are satisfied with winning the division crown.
I think they want to win a playoff game at home, and I expect a lot of intensity from them on Sat.

FWIW, Peter King says all four road teams should win. He's really down on the Cardinals BTW. I really hope Edge and the return of Q spark this offense, because they are going to have to carry the day IMO.

This game sets up perfectly for us.
1. It is a short week and Atlanta has to burn a day traveling across the country.
2. Arizona is not a displaced-Falcon-Fan-stronghold, so there should be a strong home field advantage.
3. The grizzled General Kurt Warner has been here before. The Rookie QB Ryan has not.
4. The Cardinals D can squash the run when they really focus on it. That should be the gameplan.
5. The Nest should be ready to explode with energy because it is hosting the first home playoff game in AZ history.
Despite all that, I still feel the Cards will manage a way to screw it up...

THis game will not be a run away for any team. We need to look more like this past weeks second half. In order to be aggressive we will have to maintain a lead. Questions
Can we control the clock?
Will the second half Warner show up?
Can we keep Atlanta under 125 yards?
Was Edge good against the Hawks or is he ready to put on the same kind of show for Atlanta?
Will we control field positions and will special teams be special?
A lot of questions but nothing we haven't done this year from time to time.

I like being the underdog. And as long as Howie Long keeps putting us down I'm happy.

Just need to play inspired ball. I would love to see the team that played with fire the first half of this season. I simply think that they clinched too early and became complacent for the final 3 weeks of the season. Unacceptable, but forgivable if they can pull it off on Saturday.

This game will be the opposite of the Philly game. We win. By at least 10 I am thinking.
I have no facts or stats to back this up. Just my gut and what karma is telling me. And the funny thing is that I am usually right.
Sorry Falcons fans.
