Everybody is picking the Eagles to win the NFC championship this year against the Arizona Cardinals. I am going to prognosticate that the Arizona Cardinals will win against the Eagles this weekend. I have several reasons why they will win.

1) Home field advantage. Why the home field advantage has not been great this year in the playoffs. The Cardinals are very hard to beat at home. They had a bad month of December after they cliched the playoffs, but the Cardinals are nearly impossible to beat at home. Opposing teams do not know how to train for the warm weather - believe it or not it is true.
2) Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. Warner brings great experience to the game having won a superbowl in the past. Fitzgerald and Boldin easily make the best combination of WR in the game. Their size and strength give opposing defenses a nightmare to defend and Warner with his quick passes can be hard to sack.
3) The Offensive Line - the Cardinals pass block better than anyone right now and that takes away the Eagles blitz strategy. Jim Johnson will need to be very creative to get in the face of Warner and if he gets time he will have success.
4) Big playmakers on Defense. Antrell Roll and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie are big playmakers and wil make it difficult for Donovan McNabb to pass downfield. If Westbrook is hurt it will force the Eagles WRs to make plays, which is hard to do against this combination
5) Tim Hightower and Edgerrin James. The forgotten duo in Arizona. Hightower is a big bruising back and James is a experienced veteran. If they get over 75 yards in this game combined, the Eagles will have a hard time winning.

Everybody said the Cardinals had no chance against Carolina - now everybody says they have no chance against the Eagles at home. Dont rule this team out - they are gritty and they have a ton of talent.
