The Panthers are also 3-point favorites to win their second NFC Championship in franchise history.

Who do you think will be meeting in Santa Clara for Super Bowl 50, folks? Carolina and Arizona scored more points than any other teams in the regular season, and they have an over/under of 47 points. The return of wide receiver Julian Edelman couldn’t have come too soon for Pats QB Tom Brady, and the former hauled in 10 receptions for 100 yards.

New England will play the victor of Sunday’s divisional playoff game between the Denver Broncos and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI now list Arizona and New England with 9/4 odds, respectively, to win the Super Bowl this season.

“I know my team feeds off my energy and feeds off my play, and I just try to make sure I’m making plays to build the energy and build the confidence of the group”, Fitzgerald, who finished with eight catches for 176 yards, said.

And, unlike the previous wild card matchups, all four home teams pulled off the victory. This game is going to be a good one and it’s really hard to decide who’s going to win but if I had to predict one it would have to be the Cardinals because Carson Palmer is really good.

The top two seeds in the NFC face off next weekend, and its the match-up we all wanted, as I previously mentioned, a Carolina team that, until beating up on Seattle in the first five minutes, then 30 minutes, then puckering up for the next 30, they hadn’t beat a quality team.

Seattle gained the momentum in the second half and put up 24 unanswered points in the third and fourth quarters.

If you’ve ever watched the television show Survivor, the Arizona Cardinals entered a tribal council with all the confidence in the world of moving on, got almost blindsided and were saved by an immunity idol from another player.

If the betting favorites win, we’ll be seeing a rematch of Super Bowl XXXVIII between the Panthers and Patriots. Palmer and Newton are each vying for their first appearance in the Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium next month in California.

Panthers fans can still get their hands on tickets to Sunday’s NFC Championship game but the tickets might be costly
