Arizona at Carolina for NFC Championship

• 20 January 2016

 

The second Conference Championship is a gold mine ready to be excavated.  Both Arizona and Carolina have potent offenses.  Two top teams with quarterbacks enjoying banner years.  Good afternoon and welcome to HRWager.  Here we have Cam Carson battling it out for the right to get to the Super Bowl.  Why not put a cherry on top of this game with an investment on it’s outcome?  Read on as we have the winning angle between Arizona at Carolina this Sunday.

Establish the Run

Odd how the stats can run during the regular season.  Carolina has dual threats to run highlighted by a quarterback who can bolt at any time.  Arizona has a pass first approach.  However, the difference in rushing touchdowns during the regular season is only three by the Panthers.  If Carson can get the short game going then the Panthers are put in a bad position.  Josh Norman can lockdown any one receiver but Arizona has multiple options through the air.  Any success on the ground and the Cardinals can turn this into a shoot out which favors them.

True Test

This will demonstrate whether Cam Newton has evolved into a pass first impromptu passer.  Arizona will blitz often with a variety of looks.   Can Cam break it down all at the line and make the proper decisions as a pocket passer?  His scrambling ability will gain them a couple of first downs but not the game.  In this pressure filled situation, the soon to be NFL MVP will have this pass this final test to get to the Super Bowl.

 

 

Exploits on both teams exist.  Their offenses will challenge the total of 48 on the high side.  Arizona will make progress in the air and at the same time provide prime field position for the Panthers with a few turnovers.  More jailbreak chances for Carolina as Arizona will not relent on their blitzes.  HRWager recommends going on the over in the total here.  Enjoy this scoring fest in optimal weather conditions in Carolina.  Good fortune and we will see you next time here at the HRW.
