As I post this, there's two minutes left in the Giants Eagles game. Giants down by 12 and they have the ball.
Stranger things have happened; perhaps you should have waited a few minutes.

I had trouble predicting this line.
I had PHI -1 or -2,
O/U 48.
Now it is PHI -2.5 or -3, O/U around 49-50.

only half a nightmare...philly has a very marketable fan base. Now, if the title game ends up being BAL v ARI, then there will be trouble in the NFL marketing dept.

Eagles are always a high ratings team and the fan base is notorious for traveling better than anyone. But agreed that a game in Arizona isn't exactly a ratings buster.

Seriously, I wonder who has the smaller fanbase out of those two? Ravens have the smallest geographic fanbase and it's not even close. I would guess once the Zona bandwagon is loaded up, the Ravens have the smaller overall fanbase as well.

Were the Eagles not in the NFCC I could actually see myself rooting for Arizona; it's been a great run. But realistically I see this as a two touchdown win by the Eagles, at least.

Going to be a great game. However I think the Birds have a far more dominate defense and will win by 10. Go Birds!!... umm the green ones.

I have no idea how to gauge the cards. Simply put, they have taken their game to a very high level the last 3 weeks. Coupled with HFA, this should be an interesting game.
Eagles D is in the groove, though.
Two 9 win teams who are not playing like 9 win teams! Must see TV.

Do you not remember Thanksgiving? Home field that you have to give away tix in the playoffs to sell out gonna make the difference?Eh.Haha, I love hearing this.

Eh. Was Thanksgiving nearly two months ago before the Cards have rallied to hold 2 of the top 5 rushing games to a combined 120 somthing yards? Was that before the Cards had won three in a row and one of the games was blowing out an NFC favorite (at home)? And actually, the home field advantage last week made a huge difference in the game. The Cards d-line was all over Ryan's snap count, and that lead to some huge game changing plays, and the Falcs had a few false starts etc.I see what your saying, but you cant compare this Cardinal team to the team in November and to try to act like the home field advantage didn't matter last week is just absurd.Do you not remember Thanksgiving?

Let's not do the disrespect thing. The Cards are good.... the Eagles are good. Based on their previous matchup and a miserable track record of fan support in the desert.....the Eagles should be the favorites. That does not equate to disrespect.

The Phillies broke the curse of Billy Penn. Could there be another championship in Philadelphia's future? 2 more games. Right now the Eagles have that look about them. Huge test this week.

no chance if it is the eagles in the bowl, not with their d and especially if it would be the ravensI think the AFC champ whoever it is will be a 7-9 point favorite over whoever wins the NFC.but then again.. that's what it looked like last year too....

i think that happens only if its PIT v ARI. Any other game is 3-5 pts IMOI think the AFC champ whoever it is will be a 7-9 point favorite over whoever wins the NFC.but then again.. that's what it looked like last year too....

I think his point is that it's ludicrous for an Eagles fan to essentially say that the AFC cannot beat the Eagles. As good as the Eagles defense is, I would not take them over the Steelers or Raven's defense. The Eagles could absolutely beat any AFC team but they could just as easily lose. It might be a pick em.What are you saying?

The Cards have killed me the last 2 weeks, and i really hope it isn't a 3rd. they are playing at a very high level, but i think the difference right now is playing at a playoff level. No doubt Arizona has stepped up and has looked dominant the last 2 games, but i think the hits are bigger and the game goes faster in the playoffs. This Eagles team has been here a bunch, and they played a Giants team that has playoff exp. Ari played a young Falcons team with a rookie QB, and a Panthers team that looked like their bye was a hinderance to them. Maybe the Panthers were over-confident, i don't know, but the Eagles will be ready for the challenge. The Eagles D should be able to do similar to what they did against Warner in Phi. Fitz is amazing, but if Boldin can't play the Phi D should be alright. We just need the offense to have none to few turnovers, and the Eagles should be able to pull out a win, hopefuly. However, if Ari takes it I will take Ari in the Super Bowl because they will have burned me and my wallet 3 weeks in a row and i will want to not make it 4.

Worth noting that the Eagles have never played in Arizona's new stadium. That puts them at a slight disadvantage, although I think they're the better team. But it's always hard your first time in a new place, and combined with the long trip, this game being in Arizona turns this game from an easy Eagles win to a coin flip, IMO.

I'm saying that there is no way the spread would be over a TD if the eagles played the ravens or steelers. It is 2 good d playing each other. The eagles ravensgame was 10-7 at half when Mcnabb was pulled and then it went out of control.he eagles are a much better team then November. By the way the eagles beat pittsburgh and destroyed rothlisberger but that was early in the year. First things first is beat the cardsI'd be pretty surprised if it didn't swell to 7.. i'd think people would jam baltimore hard there.. I would.I think it goes like thisWhat are you saying?

Yeah, that's a little short of a fair assessment -- the score was 10-7 until Kolb came in at half.LOLNov 23 Baltimore over Philadelphia 36-7no chance if it is the eagles in the bowl, not with their d and especially if it would be the ravensI think the AFC champ whoever it is will be a 7-9 point favorite over whoever wins the NFC.but then again.. that's what it looked like last year too....
