The first playoff game of the year starts today at 4:30 pm EST, and can be seen on NBC. The NFL's Rookie of the Year faces off against one of the guys he watched when he was a young teenager. Matt Ryan and Michael Turner lead the Falcons offense into Arizona against Kurt Warner and the most one-dimensional offense in the league. While the Cardinals have the worst rushing attack in the NFL, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin are unquestionably the best WR duo in the country.

The Cardinals are slightly favored in this one, but 72% of FanIQ picked the Falcons to win. I have to agree with them on this one, and I think this will be a high scoring affair. Whoever scores last could be the winner, and it could come down to the Falcons' ability to run AND pass, instead of the Cardinals utter ineptitude on the ground.

If you're watching the game, chat it up here or on the game page. As always, enjoy the game!

0	I think Michael Turner destroys them today, Falcons by two TDs.

0	At least he's not Collinsworth. Although we get that idiot for the whole game...ugh.

1	And get rid of Olbermann, that guy's a douche. And Tiki. Patrick and Costas is all we need.

0	Well... that flea flicker was a pretty nice play by the Cardinals.

0	Turner is warn down from all of the carries. If they can't run, they have no offense.

0	Excellent heads up play by the Falcons there for the INT... tough pick for Warner, that one definitely wasn't his fault.

0	Did everyone else miss the touchdown pass (live). My NBC affiliate came back in the middle of a replay of the touchdown.

0	Um, Matty Ice? You guys are wearing white today, not red.

1	Larry Fitz is a human highlight reel

0	That was awesome...go Cards

0	The Alfred Hitchcock Bowl is off and flapping.

0	Not gonna lie, the grouping of Costas, Millen and Bettis is FAR better than having Collinsdouche and Olbermann there.

0	Amazing how quickly it changed again with that crazy fumble.

0	Umm...that ref had his hands in a strange place trying to break up that celebration.

0	Just got home from town....imagine my surprise to see the Cards ahead 30-17????

0	Congrats to the Cards fans out there....Matt Ryan is only going to get better. I think he played a good game. Needs to learn that sometimes you have to step forward in the pocket and take a hit to earn a great play downfield. I think he will. It sucks that the Buccaneers have to see this guy twice a year for a long time.

0	That's for sure. The Giants or Panthers just got a huge gift. I think it's fair to say that the Arizona Cardinals don't travel well.

2	If PHI beats MIN, PHI would go to NYG as they are a #6 seed and NYG is #1. #4 ARZ would go to #2 CAR. If MIN beats PHI, #3 MIN would face #2 CAR, and #4 ARZ would be @ #1 NYG

0	I guess we all know now that Ice melts in the desert. Sadly, I only got to see the last part of the game.
