Pro Football NFC Wildcard Playoff Saturday Atlanta Falcons at Arizona Cardinals (O/U 51) (4:30PM ET) (NBC)
The question in this game is whether or not the Falcon defense can stop the passing tandem of Kurt Warner to Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. I don’t believe so. Arizona is explosive offensively at home averaging nearly 30 points per game at home. When we look at the Falcons defense against explosive offenses we saw New Orleans put up nearly 950 total yards in their two meetings. Green Bay and Philadelphia amounted over 400 in total yards. And Carolina over 400 in both meetings. Arizona will be able to move the ball up and down the field against the Falcons. Now can Arizona stop Atlanta’s balanced offense? I don’t think so. Arizona is 0-4 against NFC playoff teams this season and has been lit up on the scoreboard. Minnesota put up 35, Philadelphia 48, the Giants 37 and Carolina 27. With two outstanding offenses on the field and two defenses that sit in the bottom third in the league in pass defense this game points to one thing, a shootout in the desert. Take Arizona and Atlanta over 51.
Selection: Over 51
