NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take the under. According to latest NFL trends, Arizona is 1-5 Under last 6 overall and 8-3 Under last 11 vs. NFC. Last year: MINNESOTA (-3) over Arizona 34-10. Arizona is 9th against the pass and 19th against the run. Their main issue is offense, which ranks 28th (199.8ypg) in passing and 28th in rushing (83.2ypg). Part of the issue is talent, the other injuries. With RBs Beanie Wells (toe) and Ryan Williams (shldr) out for the season, the Cards lack a running game. They need to get the ball to Larry Fitzgerald, but QB Kevin Kolb (ribs) will likely be out for several games and backup John Skelton is not very mobile or very good. Expect DE Jared Allen and company to go after Skelton all day after struggling against the most mobile qb in the NFL-Robert Griffin III.
