*10* Total MASSACRE on UNDER Cardinals/Panthers.

The Carolina Panthers have not lost at home this season, and they appear to have an edge here in the NFC Championship game versus Arizona. They won a wild game against the Seahawks last week, scoring a whopping 31 points in the first half. We should see a lot more defense here in this game.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - These teams have played four times since 2010, and the home team has won all four meetings. They met in last year's playoffs, and Carolina won that game 27-16. Not one of those games saw 50 points scored, and three of the four saw fewer than 45 points.

2. Running Game - The Cardinals are a lot more one dimensional than Carolina, relying heavily on the passing game. The Panthers ran for 144 yards and a pair of TDs last week, against the NFL's top run defense.

3. X-Factor - We should see pretty poor field conditions here on Sunday. Charlotte was rocked by a snow storm this weekend, and that should result in the same slippery conditions we saw last week.

Selection: This is a play on Arizona@Carolina to go UNDER the total (10*)
