<p>The Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles offer up a lot of great storylines, but none are bigger than the two veteran quarterbacks. You can wager on how many passing yards <strong>Donovan McNabb</strong> and <strong>Kurt Warner</strong> will have, as well as who will toss more interceptions.</p>
<p><strong>Brian Westbrook</strong> (<a href="http://sports.bodog.com/sports-betting/football-player-props.jsp" target="_blank">+135</a>) and <strong>Tim Hightower</strong> (<a href="http://sports.bodog.com/sports-betting/football-player-props.jsp" target="_blank">+200</a>) are the favorites to score the first TD of the game for each team. But what fun is it just betting on the faves &#8211; how about picking someone that few expect and make a killing in the process?</p>
<p>Regardless of what fun prop bets you decide to tackle, this weekend's games are going to be very exciting and most likely offer up a few surprises that nobody could have predicted.</p>

<p>This is your best opportunity to diversify your football portfolio with so few games left on the schedule. You can wager on every single play while you watch along on television – or even live at the venue itself if you happen to be mobile.</p>
<p>The betting market for this Sunday's <a href="http://sports.bodog.com/sports-betting/nfl-football.jsp" target="_blank">Conference Round</a> matchups figures to be hot and heavy. The Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals meet at 3:00 p.m. ET on FOX; both teams have big-play capability on both sides of the ball. The second game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers (6:30 p.m., CBS) promises to be a gritty, smashmouth affair with a whole lot of running involved.</p>
<p>We'll also have <a href="http://sports.bodog.com/bodoglive/" target="_blank">live betting</a> for Super Bowl XLIII on Feb. 1 in Tampa. It's going to be a barnburner.</p>

<strong>Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants: 1 p.m. EST on FOX</strong></p>
<p>Eagles QB <strong>Donovan McNabb</strong> threw for 300 yards last Sunday against Minnesota to take the win in the first-round; and the Giants QB <strong>Eli Manning</strong> is coming off a bye week (that could be huge). Both teams are strong defensively and both coaches are super eager to advance to the Conference Championship. Still, the Bodog Sportsbook favors the Giants in this one by -4 and the game's total is at 39.5.</p>
<p><strong>A few betting trends to consider:</strong><br />
Philadelphia is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games;<br />
Philadelphia is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games;<br />
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Philadelphia's last 6 games on the road;<br />
The total has gone UNDER in 10 of Philadelphia's last 12 games when playing on the road against NY Giants;<br />
NY Giants are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games at home;<br />
NY Giants are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games at home;<br />
The total has gone UNDER in 10 of the NY Giants last 12 games when playing at home against Philadelphia;<br />
NY Giants are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games.</p>

<p><strong>San Diego Chargers at Pittsburgh Steelers: 4:45 p.m. EST on CBS</strong></p>
<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers led the N.F.L. in total defense, pass defense and scoring defense, and was second against the run, allowing only 80.2 yards a game. (The Steelers have also allowed only 13.9 points on average per game&#8230;that's the lowest in the league, too.) With LaDainian Tomlinson out with a torn groin tendon (more than likely, anyway) and a comparatively weaker defense, QB Philip Rivers better hope that RB <strong>Darren Sproles</strong> brings his "A" game along with his Velcro-like grip to this matchup if the Bolts want to advance.</p>
<p><strong>A few betting trends to consider:</strong><br />
San Diego is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games;<br />
San Diego is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games;<br />
The total has gone OVER in 16 of San Diego's last 24 games on the road;<br />
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of San Diego's last 6 games when playing Pittsburgh;<br />
Pittsburgh is 10-1 SU in its last 11 games when playing at home against San Diego;<br />
Pittsburgh is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games;<br />
Pittsburgh is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games.</p>

<p><strong>Matt Stover</strong> kicked a sweet 43-yard field goal with 53 seconds remaining to give the Baltimore Ravens the three points they desperately needed to win the game (13-10). QB Joe Flacco did his part, too, when he led the 51-yard drive to set up that winning kick.  On the day, Flacco finished 11-of-22 for 161 yards and a touchdown and in the process he became the first rookie in league history to win his first two playoff games.</p>
<p>And if you bet on the Ravens? Well then good on you. Baltimore won the game as a 3-point underdog, while the 23 points went UNDER the posted total of 34.</p>

<p><strong>Baltimore Ravens (12-5) at Tennessee Titans (13-3)<br />
KICKOFF: Saturday, 4:30 EST</strong></p>
<p>Injuries on both teams have definitely been a sore spot, but as the Conference Championship beckons you can be sure that every player making their way onto LP Field this afternoon will fight to work past the pain. Ravens' rookie QB <a href="http://sports.bodog.com/sports-betting/football-player-props.jsp" target="_blank"><strong>Joe Flacco</strong></a> could be the difference in this matchup against the Titans&#8230;who, under the leadership of veteran QB <a href="http://sports.bodog.com/sports-betting/football-player-props.jsp" target="_blank"><strong>Kerry Collins</strong></a>, are nonetheless the (-3) favorites to win.</p>
<p>A few betting trends for those of you wanting to get in on the action:</p>
<p>Baltimore is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games;<br />
Baltimore is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games;<br />
Baltimore is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games on the road;<br />
Baltimore is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games on the road;<br />
Tennessee is 8-1 SU in its last 9 games at home;<br />
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Tennessee's last 7 games when playing Baltimore;<br />
Tennessee is 13-3 SU in its last 16 games;<br />
Tennessee is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Baltimore.</p>

<p><strong>Arizona Cardinals (10-7) at Carolina Panthers (12-4)<br />
KICKOFF: Saturday, 8:15 EST</strong></p>
<p>Arizona Cardinals QB <a href="http://sports.bodog.com/sports-betting/football-player-props.jsp" target="_blank"><strong>Kurt Warner</strong></a> and Carolina Panthers QB <a href="http://sports.bodog.com/sports-betting/football-player-props.jsp" target="_blank"><strong>Jake Delhomme</strong></a> are both looking to lead their team to the NFC Championship game, but with the intensity expected to hit an all-time high this evening's matchup at the Bank of America stadium isn't going to be an easy one to predict.</p>
<p>Last weekend Warner threw two touchdown passes, including a 71-yarder to Anquan Boldin, as the Cardinals defeated the Atlanta Falcons 30-24 in their Wild Card round meeting. The Cardinals covered the 2-point spread, and the 54 points made it OVER the posted total of 52. This week, however, Warner will have to face a Panthers' defense that is held tight with strong veterans.</p>
<p>Delhomme, while posting some serious stats during the regular season, is coming off a bye week (and that didn't exactly bode well for his team the last time they had a week off). Still, the Panthers are favored to win this one.</p>

<p>The second round of the NFL playoffs is set. The Philadelphia Eagles, who beat the Minnesota Vikings 26-14 earlier today, will play the New York Giants on Jan. 11. The Baltimore Ravens, who also played earlier today and won their game against the Miami Dolphins 27-9, will go up against the top-seeded Tennessee Titans on Jan. 10. Also playing on Jan. 10 are the Carolina Panthers, who will host the Arizona Cardinals. And the San Diego Chargers will take everything they've got when they hit the road for their big Jan. 11 meeting against the Pittsburgh Steelers.</p>

<p>After falling to the San Diego Chargers 23-17 in front of an elated crowd at Qualcomm Stadium, Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy walked off the field looking as though he had been defeated for the last time. If Dungy does retire from the NFL, it wouldn't come as much of a surprise; the Colts' coach has been giving the idea some amount of thought.</p>
<p>"I'll try to get over the disappointment of this loss, talk things over with my wife and see where we go from here," Dungy said.</p>
<p>Dungy is the first African American coach to win the Super Bowl when his Colts beat the Chicago Bears in 2007. In December of 2008 (after a win against the Jags), Dungy set a new NFL record for most consecutive playoff appearances by a head coach.</p>

<p>On Saturday evening the <strong>San Diego Charger</strong>s did what a lot of critics thought they couldn't do (considering their 8-8 record on the season) and won the 25th overtime playoff game in 50 years with a 23-17 victory over the favorites <strong>Indianapolis Colts</strong> to advance to the AFC Divisional Round. Guess that regular season-ending charge to make the playoffs was for real.</p>
<p>Chargers' QB <strong>Philip Rivers</strong> threw for 217 yards on 20-of-36 passing, with 0 touchdowns and 1 interception.</p>
<p>And what did NFL MVP/Colts QB Peyton Manning have to say (after completing 25-of-42 passes for 310 yards and one touchdown on the night)?</p>
<p>"It was disappointing to lose a playoff game, especially a game we had some chances to win," said Manning. "The Chargers made the plays when it counted. Give them credit."</p>
<p><strong>Can the Eagles (-3.5) beat the Vikings (+3.5)?</strong></p>
<p>The Chargers will face either the Tennessee or Pitssburgh in the AFC Divsional Round of the NFL playoffs. But you can still get some action in on tonight's game against the <strong>Philadelphia Eagles </strong>and the<strong> Minnesota Vikings</strong>. Philadelphia is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games when playing Minnesota, and 7-1 SU in its last 8 games (when playing Minnesota). Minnesota is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games at home, and is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games.</p>

<p>In his first NFL playoffs since helping the Rams win the 2001 Super Bowl, QB <strong>Kurt Warner</strong> came out big and helped the Arizona Cardinals hold off the Atlanta Falcons 30-24 before a home team that hadn't hosted a playoff game in 61 years.</p>
<p>Opening the afternoon with a 42-yard touchdown pass to Larry Fitzgerald, he then connected with <strong>Anquan Boldin </strong>(photo above) on a sweet 71-yard scoring play. On the day, Warner was 19-of-32, 13-for-17 in the second half, for a total of 271 yards.</p>
<p>"I hope this gives us a lot of confidence," Warner told reporters after the game. "I knew we thought we could win this game. Hopefully we can parlay this into some more confidence and know we can win wherever we have to go."</p>
<p>The Cardinals get a few days to rest up before playing the <strong>Carolina Panthers</strong> (who were  told by their coach to "rest, stay out of trouble and watch football on TV" this weekend), or the defending Super Bowl champions the <strong>NY Giants</strong>.</p>
