NFL betting for the NFC Championship game on Sunday has a surprising matchup as the Arizona Cardinals host the Philadelphia Eagles in a game televised by FOX.Before this season the Cardinals had just one playoff win in 61 years but after wins over Atlanta and Carolina the last two weeks, Arizona will be hosting the NFC Championship game. Philadelphia is a 3.5 point football betting favorite and the total is 47.
NFL betting has been popular on the Eagles in this year’s playoffs and that should continue in the NFC Championship game. Despite the fact they are at home, the Cardinals are underdogs in football betting. Home teams have not done very well in this year’s playoffs going 3-5 but neither have favorites. Underdogs are 5-3 against the NFL betting pointspread so far in the 2008-2009 playoffs.
