They know most will bet the over. The defenses will play better. The saints will be prepared and the cards have pride. Be very careful

[dakid420]

I am with you, N.O. has a good defense, and Arizona does not want to get in a shootout like that again

[Dexter]

i wont bet the under, but i agree....could easily see a 27-24 game

The Cards have pride? If they have it where was it on D Sunday? Are there certain games their pride shows up?

How about the other teams that have come this far? Don't they have pride?

Statements like yours, lb make me laugh. Oh, I'll bet Arizona because they have pride. lol

The total is just a question of how much balance these two coaches want to establish between passing and rushing. If they're happy to leave the game in the hands of their QB's, it's going to be like that second half against the Packers. I can't imagine them starting out like that though. It was forced upon the Cards yesterday, because Green Bay resorted to all-or-nothing plays midway through the third quarter (onside kick, 4th down near midfield). That worked out remarkably well for GB, but it wasn't something they would have normally chosen to do. They had no choice, because the Cards put them in a huge hole. It was that all-or-nothing element, introduced early, that changed the game into a wild shootout. Before that, the game was much more structured.

[AlphaOmega]

[bballs84]

LB!!!!

[drfunkmaster]

I know better.. OVER!!

[Jag8917]

These are passing teams and both are going to want to jump on each EARLY. I'm going to take the over.

[Barcuss]

I agree the over might be tough to get but I don't want to bet the under the way zona played yesterday

[lakerboy]

Whatever to the naysayers i make predictions and i am right more often than not- end of story

[capper123]

i predicted all four overs in the playoffs and people critcized me. well guess what i like all the over again. 2 touchdowns per quarter is an average of 58. break it down and see if you like the over that way. dont look at the points look at it by touchdowns. there will be closer to 65 points in the one so definetly go over in this game!

[capper123]

its a 56 point average sorry my math sucks but all 4 overs won last week do it again this coming week! win some more dough!!!!!

[S.K.M.]

At this point I would not touch the total in this game with a 10 foot pole.

Cards D was fine until they got stuck on the field after the onsides kick. Their pass rush was gassed after that. Over the whole season, the Cards D plays a lot more like the first half than the second.

Saints D is finally healthy here, save Charles Grant. And you know Gregg Williams is cooking up something with the week off.

I am with you, N.O. has a good defense, and Arizona does not want to get in a shootout like that again

N.O. defense was ranked 25th in the NFL in yards, 20th in pts, 21th in rushing yards, 26th in passing yards. Very sickly defense for a 13-3 team.

AZ wasn't much better with defensive rankings: 20/14/23/17. Not good for a playoff team.

Also, anyone wanna guess the last time two defenses this bad met in the playoffs, if ever?
2004: Vikings(8-8) 31 Packers(10-6) 17 Vikings D:28/26/21/29 Packers D:25/23/25/14

[Dark Horse]

That's not the only way to measure defense. Arizona's D has been extremely aggressive early on in playoff games. They force turnovers and build a quick lead off those. I think the D may tire faster later in games, because they are so intense at the start of the game. It would explain why they build big leads early, and give them up almost as fast later in games. I would expect Arizona to put a lot of pressure on Brees right away. He's not seen that type of intensity all season.
