Arizona +110
Don't get me wrong, the cardinals have been poo and ass the past four weeks, but in all honesty... what have they had to play for? Their division was clinched at 8-8 and knowing they weren't going to be getting higher than a #3 seed, the difference ultimately became playing the red-hot eagles, or playing the falcons (who have struggled on the road). Not to discredit anything that Atlanta has done this season, and as much as i really, really hate to say it, but Kurt Warner has been here before, and Matt Ryan (as phenominal as he is, and is going to be) has not.
Indianapolis -1.0
In most people's opinions, this could easily be the AFC Championship game, as both of these teams have been impressive closing out the season. Phillip Rivers holds the highest passer rating of any QB this season (not going to the pro-bowl), and Peyton Manning is a favourite to win MVP. What I am not happy about with this matchup is LaDanian Tomlinson. It seems almost deja-vu like with this "injury", and yet another perfect excuse, should the chargers lose. Forget about Peyton's four interceptions @ San Diego last year, because the chargers defense has shown all season long just how important Shawn Merriman is to their squad. A Berman-esque: Colts 37 - Chargers 17.

SUNDAY JANUARY 04
Baltimore -3.0
Defense wins championships. Plain, simple, cut and dry, and to the point. There really isn't much more to say about this game.
Philadelphia -3.0
The Eagles are hot, and looking much like the New York Giants of last season. The same giants that beat an undefeated super-team in the Superbowl. Minnesota just had trouble knocking off the giant's second unit. Two teams going in different directions if you ask me, and i will gladly take the eagles... Momentum can be a killer, and the eagles are flying (pun intended).

Pun Intended, that is great.
