The Saturday matchup of the NFC Divisional playoff features 2 of the most potent Offenses in the NFL.\u00a0 They are both balanced and include some of the best talent that the league has to offer.\u00a0 The game promises to be high scoring, and the team that can limit mistakes and penetrate the opposition\u2019s middle of the pack Defenses will be one step closer to playing for the Super Bowl in Miami.<\/p>\n

Arizona Cardinals<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Arizona Cardinals enter Saturday\u2019s game fresh off of the highest scoring playoff game in NFL history.\u00a0 The question that remains is – Did their win against the Green Bay Packers provide some momentum, or did the emotion of the game suck the momentum out of the Cards?<\/p>\n

On Offense, the Cardinals seem to have a lot of mojo right now.\u00a0 The certain Hall of Fame Quarterback, Kurt Warner threw 5 touchdowns in his last game even without a main weapon Anquan Boldin in the lineup.\u00a0 The Cards figure to get Boldin back this week to provide yet another scary weapon for Greg Williams\u2019 Saints Defense to worry about.\u00a0 We all know that Arizona will get their yards and scores through the air – the suspect secondary of the Saints should offer little resistance to Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. [soliloquy id=”82219″]\u00a0 The X factor for the Arizona Offense will be their ability or inability to run the ball with Beanie Wells and Tim High tower.\u00a0 If these two can somehow have a decent game, it will afford Kurt Warner time to find his real weapons down field.\u00a0 If the Running Backs struggle, Kurt might be spending a lot of time running for his life and avoiding game changing turnovers.\u00a0 Passing won\u2019t be a problem Saturday, the running game might.<\/p>\n

Defensively, the Cardinals don\u2019t really scare anybody.\u00a0 They gave up 45 points last week and offered little resistance to the Green Bay Packers Offense.\u00a0 The key will be pressure, and the Cardinals ability to disrupt Drew Brees.\u00a0 The Defensive line has to win the battle of the trenches to keep the running game in check and to keep the Saints one dimensional.\u00a0 If the Cards can do this, they have a good chance of winning the game.<\/p>\n

New Orleans Saints<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New Orleans Saints ended their 2010 playoff campaign somewhat cold.\u00a0 They lost badly in their last few games of the season and are lucky that they had the bye week to right the ship.\u00a0 A rested and somewhat healthy team, the Saints players used the week to prepare\u00a0 as did the coaches in order to scheme for the Divisional playoffs.\u00a0 The New Orleans Offense not going to be a problem.\u00a0 Green Bay absolutely lit the Cardinals up last weeks and New Orleans is as good or better an Offense.\u00a0 Jeremy Shockey, Lance Moore and Pierre Thomas are all scheduled to play after being banged up late in the season.\u00a0 Drew Brees is Drew Brees.\u00a0 The # 1 total Offense in the league will have a field day on Saturday and if the Defense can make an occasional stop, this could be a blowout.<\/p>\n

The Saints Defense started the season like a house on fire.\u00a0 The reason – poor opposition.\u00a0 Late in the season, the Saints were exposed with their secondary struggling and their ability to stop the run questioned.\u00a0 That said, the Saints still have one of the best Defensive coordinators in the NFL.\u00a0\u00a0 Greg Williams had an extra week to prepare for this game and if he can get his unit to play at 75 % of their potential, the Saints should be fine.<\/p>\n
