***SNF IN THE SWAMP - WEEK 15 - ZONA @ PHILLY***


***ARIZONA CARDINALS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES***

Another Prime Time bird game on tap tonight as the high flying Arizona Cardinals swoop into Philly to take on the playoff hunting Eagles coming off of back to back wins against the Pats and Buffalo. While those wins seem impressive on paper, I feel as if they aren't a good measuring stick for this Eagles team and I backed them in both of these games. However tonight, I think they run into a real buzzsaw in the Arizona defense and that Bradford will really struggle getting anything going through the air. The Cards will definitely come ready to play a hard fought game tonight as Philly isn't in a sneaky spot here like they were in New England or hosting a declining Bills team at home. Yes they have been playing much better and are in the NFC East playoff race, but I don't think that they have what it takes to put up points on the "No Fly Zone" as they call it. The Eagles win in New England was a great spot play coming off of an embarassment of a game on Thanksgiving and facing a depleted Pats team off of their first loss. The game was also a bit flukey as they scored most of their TDs on special teams and defense. The Bills as we saw today in Washington are just not playing good football right now and their defense is not what it once was. That being said, the Iggles squeaked out two wins and are in the playoff hunt, and still will be even if they lose one tonight. They face the Redskins next Saturday and the GMen in week 17. They win those games and with a little help I believe they can still do it. Bradford is in for a long night against DBs like Peterson and Mathieu and I would be suprised if he is is able to toss a couple TDs against them. I like this one to be a defensive matchup, low scoring FG type game with the Cards eventually going up two scores late in the game to seal it. CARDINALS-3.5
