Boldin uncertain for Cardinals-Panthers game

Football Betting Lines

01/05/2009 - Tempe, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin's status for Saturday's playoff game against Carolina is uncertain, after he strained his hamstring.

Boldin suffered the injury during Arizona's win over Atlanta in an NFC Wild Card-round contest this past Saturday. Specifically, it happened during a 71-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter.

Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt said he was hopeful Boldin could play Saturday, when the Cardinals travel to Charlotte for an NFC Divisional playoff matchup with the Carolina Panthers. However, he said that when dealing with hamstring injuries, "you just never know."

Boldin had already missed the final two regular-season contests because of a shoulder injury, and because the ailment kept Boldin from doing much conditioning, Whisenhunt said the receiver's injury wasn't a total surprise. He added the team would monitor Bolding during the week to see how he progresses.

Boldin had 89 receptions for 1,038 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games during the regular season, earning his third career Pro Bowl selection.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
