NFC and AFC championship games are finally here with the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Arizona Cardinals, and the Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers. Don’t get so caught up in the potential Philly/ Pittsburgh matchup the NFL wants. Although this matchup is probably beneficial for the league, I think an Arizona/ Baltimore Super Bowl is more entertaining. In saying that, we’ll keep this short and sweet. There’s only one game I’m sure of today and that’s the Cardinals / Eagles matchup. No doubt in my mind the Cardinals will come out on top, not only are they playing at home but they have the players to get the job done. Veteran QB in Warner, fast and strong players like Boldin, Fitzgerald, and a running back tandem of James and Hightower, will give the Eagles defense some trouble. The Cardinals have the recipe for success, especially the way their defense has been playing the past couple of weeks proving that they can stop the run. This isn’t the same Cardinals team they played during the regular season.

In the AFC, both Pittsburgh and Baltimore are exceptional on the defensive end, so some might say it comes down to the offenses. I disagree; especially with the forecasted light-snow showers both offenses will start slow trying to dictate the run. This means both defenses will try to make it their game by putting on a show with hard hits and takeaways. Players like Ed Reed and Ray Lewis will thrive in today’s conditions and they will carry their rookie quarterback to the Super Bowl.

Cardinals and the Ravens in the Super Bowl baby!
