Early Lines Are in for the AFC and NFC Championship Games Next Week

Arizona a 3 point underdog at home while Steelers are spotting 5 in the steel city on Sunday

The Arizona Cardinals are probably feeling a little bit like Rodney Dangerfield. They get no respect. For the third straight week, and second time at home, they find themselves as underdogs in the NFC Playoffs. Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles are favored in their matchup against Kurt Warner's Cardinals. It probably doesn't make a difference to the Cards who were more than a 10 point underdog the Carolina Panthers this weekend and blew favored team out. Oddsmakers foresee a high scoring affair in the battle to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl with the over/under at 48 points.

In the AFC North battle that doubles as AFC Championship game the Pittsburgh Steelers are spotting the Baltimore Ravens 5. Unlike the NFC battle, oddsmakers see a low scoring game in the chilly steel city where the over under is a ultra low 33 points.
