Cards/Panthers
This game comes down to the old saying "it's not how you start it's how you finish". The Cards got out to a 9-1 start in there first 10 games but the injury bug hit and they dropped 4 of there last 6. The Cards have zero running game and an inexpierienced qb, in fact the Cards are the only playoff team that does not have at least one 1000 yd rusher or one 1000 yd receiver. This doesn't bode well for the Cards as the Panther defense is finally clicking, they have allowed just one 100 yd rusher in its last 7 games and have racked up 17 sacks in the last month alone. If this game was in Arizona I may give them an outside chance, however after playing back to back games vs the Seahawks and 49ers and now playing in there 5th road game in the last 6 weeks I like the hotter healthier team to advance.
