Last week most of the playoff games were one sided. The only close game involved a record scoring epic, and the Arizona Cardinals.

This week the Cardinals started well, with a touchdown in the first minute and then their defence showed why they had conceded a record score the week before. The Saints ran rampant, chalking up effortless touchdowns as they swept the battered and depleted Arizona defence aside.

The records again tumbled, worst defensive effort in the playoffs amongst them, and the New Orleans Saints progressed comfortably through to the championship round next week.

Arizona Cardinals win thriller against Green Bay

et — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:10:20 +0000

After three one sided contests, the wildcard weekend exploded into a record breaking epic.

The Cardinals flew out of the blocks and grabbed a 17-0 lead at quarter time.

The Packers then slowly clawed their way back into the game, with both sides defensively poor and the points scoring ticking over at a furious rate.

In the final quarter, the Green Bay Packers added 21 unanswered points to draw level, but with seconds to go the Arizona Cardinals gave their kicker the chance to seal the match – but Rackers missed sending the game into overtime.

Green Bay won the toss and had first use of the ball, but the Cardinals defence were able to trap the visitors in their own half and then on the third down, Green Bay quarter back Rodgers was stripped of the ball as he was sacked, and in the highest scoring playoff game in history, it was the Cardinals defense that walked the ball into the end zone for the game winning touchdown.

What a match!

Final scores: Arizona Cardinals 51, Green Bay Packers 45.

The fairytale continued for the Arizona Cardinals as they took another step forward and won through to the 43rd Super Bowl in Tampa when they defeat the highly favoured Philadelphia Eagles, 32-25 by outclassing their opponents in the first half and then hanging on to get over the line.
It will be Arizona’s first Super Bowl appearance.

In the other Championship game, Pitssburgh led all the way against an injury battered Baltimore outfit who ran out of legs, and luck. The Steelers now move to their 7th Super Bowl appearance, 2nd only behind the Cowboys who have 8 appearances.

Well, here we go – money time!!
Who will win the NFC and AFC Championships?

Philadelphia @ Arizona.
Wow – the Cardinals have been on fire and winning against the odds. Can they do it one more week?
Every bone in my body says Philadelphia will win but why? Its not like they beat the Giants last week – the Giants beat themselves with their inept tactics.
Drum roll… Arizona by three. 27 – 24

Baltimore @ Pittsburgh
Wow – again. I have been very impressed by the Ravens, cold hungry and mean.
But the Steelers werent bad last week either! Whats a man to do…
Stuff it – Im going with the Ravens again. 24-18

My Best Bet of the week is the Ravens at +6 Put your house on it
