Not sure.

I think maybe Cardinals and Cowboys win so that the new stadium in Dallas is the site for the Championship Game.

But then again this Saints season has been built up too much to end right here.

Arizona is coming off that emotional win just last Sunday night and now they have the early game Saturday. New Orleans might be able to jump on them early with the crowd and the energy.

Still not sure.

I don't know why but I see the Cards winning this one 31-27.

Cardinals, 42-38. Kurt Warner and his playoff experience makes the difference.

Warner is playing at a level above everyone else. Cardinals win again.

Arizona needs to be balanced, though.

Saints have struggled up the middle stopping the run late in the season and Beanie Wells is starting to settle in.

It's important that the Cards don't get hit with an early buzzsaw so they can stay balanced.

they came out without Kreider and Beanie

just the single back

it seemed like a real basic play

The Saints made the mistake of starting 13-0 then finishing the season 0-3 just because they had it clinched.

Gotta start playing ball again sometime.

Fox has terrible play-by-play guys

Kenny Albert would be like 5th or 6th on CBS

Nantz, Gumbel, Enberg, Gus Johnson, Harlan, Criqui, Bolerjack

those guys are all better

Non I agree that most of the fox guys are terrible. I'm a little biased but I love Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the booth. They are a good team and plus it helps that Im a Cowboys fan and they normally are always doing Cowboys games.

freshman in 2003 at SDSU

I guess he didn't do that much (69 yards on 17 carries) but the Buckeyes only won 16-13 that day

Zona better get the offense cranked up

Brees is going for at least 350
