Okay how many of you actually had the Arizona Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles making the NFC title game? (AP Images)

Oddsmakers didn't, and now because of the incredible success of road teams so far in the playoffs they are taking notice.

Philadelphia is a 3-point favorite at Arizona this Sunday according to the early odds released yesterday. The Eagles' domination of the defending champion Giants in a 23-11 victory at Giants Stadium obviously led to that opening line.

Philadelphia was a 5-point underdog in that game and showed that having momentum heading into the postseason clearly pays off.

The Eagles routed the Cardinals 48-20 on Thanksgiving night and will be looking to win again in the battle of the NFC birds.

Once the shock of Arizona's upset win over Carolina settles in through the week, the line could move and show the Cards a little more respect.
