Since everyone is talking about the other game, I'd like to hear opinions on tonight's matchup. I don't like a side because I'm not willing to take or give 10 points in a playoff game, not this one anyway. So, seeing that the total started at 46 and at some books is now at 49.5, I am going with the under. I'm waiting to see if it hits 50 before I place my bet though.
I like Carolina to mix it up but using heavy doses of their 2-back tandem. Also, Carolina has a decent pass D and their front 4 can cause problems for Warner. I think Arizona will use the run and the underneath pass game to try to lull the Panthers to sleep in order to set up the big one down field for Fitzgerald much the same way they did last week vs. Atlanta. The problem with this theory is that was last week, and Carolina will most certainly game plan for that. Bottom line, 50 points is a lot in a NFL game, and I know these teams can score, but I like the public betting up the total to almost 4 points from where it was set last week.
