Carolina Panthers vs Arizona Cardinals NFL Predictions, NFL Picks & NFL Odds: The red hot Arizona Cardinals will host the Carolina Panthers today in a rematch of last year's divisional playoff. The Panthers, quite obviously, are hoping for a different result than the one that eliminated them from the post-season. Today's game is set to get underway at 4:15pm ET at the University of Phoenix Stadium (FOX). NFL Predictions at Sportsbetting.com have the Cardinals listed as a -10 against the spread home favorite.

Panthers Breakdown: Carolina blew a chance to draw its record to an even 3-3 last weekend by falling at home to the Buffalo Bills. The 9-20 loss instead dropped the Panthers to 2-4 (1-5 against the spread) and snapped their two game winning streak. John Fox's squad is now in third place in the NFC South and its prospects of advancing are slim with games against the Saints, Falcons, Dolphins, and Jets coming up. Carolina also has issues at the quarterback position, which typically do not play out that well for a team struggling to get its head above water. If Jake Delhomme does not play well today, he may find a permanent spot on the Panthers bench.

Cardinals Breakdown: Arizona improved to 4-2 last weekend with a huge Sunday night win over the Giants in New York. The 24-17 victory was the third in a row for the Cards and it gave them a one game lead in the NFC West over the Forty Niners. Arizona's offense, with the exception of two games, has played well all season long, but the Cardinals defense has been the spark behind their recent success. The unit gave up an average of 22.6 points in its 1-2 start, but over the last three weeks it has held the opposition to an average of just 13.6 points per contest.

NFL Predictions Betting Trend: Arizona is 4-0 straigh tup and the Over is 4-0 over the last five years when the Cardinals played as a home favorite coming off a two game road stand.
