Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers
8:15 pm EST on FOX

3 of the best receivers in football will play tonight when the Carolina Panthers host the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald and Carolina's Steve Smith are 2nd and 3rd in receiving yards, respectively. Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin is 16th, despite missing 4 games due to injury.

Boldin has a sore hamstring, and might not play, but this should be an exciting game between two teams who are capable of scoring in bunches.

I give the Panthers the edge in this one, due to their balance on offense, and a defense that is much better than the Cardinals. However, if the Cardinals can do what they did against the Falcons last week, completely neutralizing their running game, then they could have a chance to win this one. That being said, I don't think it will happen.

82% of FanIQ thinks the Panthers will win. If you're watching the game on FOX, chat it up here or on the game page. As always, enjoy the game!

7	Larry Fitzgerald is almost as good at going UP for balls as Tony Romo is at going down for balls.

1	(Edited by Chief_aka_James) Boldin is now listed as inactive, even with him though, I have a hard time picking against the Panthers. I have 31-21 Carolina

1	So, um, did the Cardinals purposely suck it up in December to lull everyone asleep on them?

1/10/09

0	The only real reason why I figured Carolina would win was because I thought John Fox was smart enough to not let Delhomme throw the football...I now have no faith in Mr. Fox any longer.

1/10/09

0	Wow...I expected a blowout, but not from Arizona. Wow...

1/10/09

0	You know, I never did like Fitzgerald that much growing up, only because he was originally from my town, then left because him and his family wanted to go to the Richfield Holy Angles private academy (their dome is actually nicer than the Metrodome)...but now, I'm over it, and dude is a beast..

0	Fitzgerald is a machine.

1	The Arizona Cardinals are going to play in a NFC title game. Hell, they might even host it. The mere thought of such an instance is mind boggling.

1/10/09

1	Someone forgot to tell the refs that they aren't supposed to call delay of game anymore.

1/10/09

1	Daylight come and you gotta Delhomme. Seriously, Jake. Go home. Get the hell off the field, and go home.
