Time: 6:40 p.m.

Date: January 24, 2016

The Carolina Panthers came out in last weeks game and hit the Seattle Seahawks right in the mouth. That set the tone for what fans can expect from them. The Arizona Cardinals shocked everyone on how they played the Packers and pulled out a win. Now, this week we`re looking for a dynamic game from both teams.What can we expect on offense and defense from the Cardinals? Will CXam Newton be dominant against the Cardinal defense. Lets take a look at both teams and the keys for success.

Why you shouldn`t watch this game:

The WWE has a pay per view that starts at 7 and everyone wants to see Brock Lesnair, John Cena and Triple H.

Why you should watch this game:

All season fans wanted to see if Cam Newton will be exciting to watch as he runs, passes and dances all over the field all the way to Super Bowl 50! Or will Patrick Peterson pick off a pass and take it to the house for 6.

Arizona Cardinals

Carson Palmer is a good quarterback. When he`s on, he`s on! Larry Fitzgerald is the leader but he`s the X-factor. Carson Palmer has to get him the ball, not in the 4th quarter but early and often. Larry Fitzgerald has always been an excellent receiver but they never look to get him the ball. We can talk defense, offense and X`s and O`s. When you look at this team across the board he (Larry) has always been consistent.He is the key to victory hands down.

Carolina Panthers

Cam, Cam, Cam! He is the catalyst on offense. This game they have to bring him out of the pocket as a runner. You can best believe the last time they were this close he looked like a nervous freshman on the varsity during a must win district game. He played well but not like the superstar that he is. Luke Kuechly sets the stage for a stingy and very aggressive Panther defense. Look for a lot of heat being placed on Carson Palmer from the left side of the defensive line.

My Prediction

The Carolina Panthers advances to the Super Bowl by the score of 27-21. The Panthers are just to hot to be stopped. It`s their year .. Accept it!

Though Carson Palmer was lost yesterday for the rest of the season, don't tell head coach Bruce Arians that their season is done now.

The Cardinals looked like they were on the ropes as they headed to the forth quarter of there games against the Chargers, trailing 17-6 but they rallied and made big plays on both sides of the ball, including a pass caught by John Brown with 2:25 left in the forth quarter to give the Cardinals the lead for good & eventual victory, 18-17 over San Diego.

NFL: Rise of the NFC West

NFC West

by J. T.

I know people will state the AFC North is the best division in football, some will argue the NFC East or NFC South is the best division and everybody would be able to make valid points to back their case but I’m not here to shoot down the other divisions, I’m here to marvel at the marvelous jump the NFC West has made within a short period of time.

San Francisco: Super Bowl Losers Curse Not an Issue
GM Trent Baalke, Coach Jim Harbaugh & unheralded executive Paraag Marathe lead one of footballs most innovative & successful organizations. In a primetime rematch with perennial contender Green Bay, San Francisco was well-prepared & executed it's game plan at a postseason level. In a week 1 filled with sloppy play & mental lapses across the league; San Francisco was firing on all cylinders. The running game never established except spots in the 3rd Quarter, which forced 2nd year starter Colin Kaepernick to take the stage. Credit also goes to Anquan Boldin, who delivered one of the best performances of his career.

NFL: How To Earn $100 Million Plus, The Larry Fitzgerald Model

Larry Fitzgerald Set The Model for $100 Million

by Chad Jones

2004 3rd Overall Selection Larry Fitzgerald entered the NFL at 19 Years Old, and created the model for earning millions. 

Fitzgerald signed a 6 Year 40.0 Million Rookie Deal (20.0 Million of Escalators Available & $ 20.0 M Guaranteed) What Fitzgerald said to the Cards was if I don't pan out, the ramifications on the Franchise will not be overwhelming. But if I become an elite player, I'll earn millions. In reality, it was Agent Eugene Parker (Also represents Ndamukong Suh & Jairus Byrd on current deals) that showed unrivaled business acumen. 

Larry Fitzgerald speaks out about this past season
