Arizona Cardinals: New favorite in the NFC??
So the unlikely has become likely. No one was picking the Arizona Cardinals to even beat the Atlanta Falcons, but they did. No one picked them to beat the Carolina Panthers either, but they did that too. The Panthers were a NFC favorite this season. They were surely my pick to win the NFC. I like the Cardinals because i feel they are a team full of talent and are always seen as the underachieving underdog, but i didn’t expect the young and inexperienced team to be this good in the playoffs. When they announced that Anquan Boldin was not going to play i just knew that they were not going to win. Well, seems like i was as wrong as everyone else. Larry Fitzgerald was up to his usual beast mode style of play and would not be denied tonight.
Now that the Cardinals have beaten Carolina i think the rest of the teams left in the playoffs should watch out because the underdog Cardinals are playing like the favorites now!
