The Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals are set to square off against each other in the NFC Championship game. What five bold predictions can be made for the game and what should fans be on the lookout for throughout the game?
1. Cam Newton Lives Up to the Occasion with 300 Yards, Four TD's
At this point in time, it appears that Panthers' quarterback Cam Newton will win the NFL MVP award. He put together a huge season and is very much deserving of the award. Carolina needs a big game from Newton to pull out a big win and he will live up to the occasion to the tune of 300 yards and four total touchdowns.
2. Larry Fitzgerald Lives Up to the Hype with Another Huge Game
Following his huge performance against the Green Bay Packers last week, Larry Fitzgerald has been receiving a lot of hype this week. He is expected to have a huge game against the Panthers and will not disappoint. Fitzgerald will put up big numbers against a very tough Carolina defense and will prove once again that he is a sure fire future Hall of Famer.
3. Greg Olsen Cuts Through the Arizona Defense for Big Numbers
Carolina has seen Greg Olsen step up and put up huge numbers all season long. He will be asked to do so once again against an Arizona defense that is one of the best in the NFL. Olsen will cut through their defense and put up big numbers, which will help give the Panthers a good chance to pull out another win at home to advance to the Super Bowl.
4. Arizona's Defense Will Force at Least Three Turnovers
As has been previously mentioned, the Cardinals defense is among the best in the league and are extremely good at forcing turnovers. They will force at least three turnovers this week against the Panthers, whether they come via interceptions or fumbles. Arizona is going to be very aggressive and it'll be interesting to see what ends up happening.
5. The Cardinals Pull Out a Huge Road Win to Advance to the Super Bowl
Arizona is without question one of the top teams in the NFL and they are going to prove that fact this week against the Panthers. Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald are more than deserving of a championship and they have a much better all-around team. Carolina is going to put up a huge fight, but the Cardinals will pull out the win to advance to the Super Bowl.
