NFL: Atlanta Falcons vs. Arizona Cardinals

The Atlanta Falcons travel to the Valley of the Sun to take on the Cardinals as 1 point online betting favorites against the spread.

Strange, since the line opened up as Falcons - 2 1/2, I figured if anything more and more NFL betting fans would jump on the Falcons.

A quick look at the injury reporst shows that the Falcons do have some injuries, while Cardinals' star wide receive Anquan Boldin is back, but the Falcons are a much better team than the Cardinals.

In order to succeed in the NFL Playoffs a team needs three things - - a great running game, a quarterback that doesn't make mistakes, and a decent defense.

The Falcons have all three while Arizona only has one, a quarterback that doesn't make mistakes.

So, I'll be riding the Falcons as 1 point favorites in this game. I have no problem putting my faith in Micahel Turner, Matt Ryan and that Falcons' D.

Atlanta should cover easily.
