The Arizona Cardinals and the Carolina Panthers will battle it out in the NFL 2015 Playoffs First Round on Saturday.

The game has a start time of 4.35 p.m. ET and takes place from the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. The game can be watched on TV on the ESPN network, or online through live stream (details below).
The Cardinals were the best team in the NFL after 10 games if the regular season, and at 9-1 they were looking like real contenders for the Super Bowl. However, as injuries hit their roster and other NFC teams came into form, Arizona started to wobble and in the end they were hanging on for dear life to make the postseason.
Arizona ended up losing four of their last six games, and by losing a number of key players to injury they now look like a team ready to drop out of the reckoning.

The Cardinals will be looking to Patrick Peterson to halt the Panthers' offense, and coming into the game the Cardinals' run defense is a major concern, and no doubt an area that Carolina will look to exploit.
Even though the Cardinals have had their problems, the Panthers have also been plagued by issues this season. Make no mistake about it, Carolina have only made the postseason as they were the best of a particularly bad bunch of teams in their NFC South division. This is a team that only managed a single victory from mid-September all the way through to December 7.
However, they have come through the back end of December looking like a much healthier team than when they went on a seven-game winless streak. Their defense has finally turned up, and their running game has improved significantly to back up a very reasonable passing game.
Looking beyond the two teams' regular season records, it is the Panthers who come into this game as the in-form team. They have won their last four games to sneak into the Playoffs, and now with home field advantage they look like good bets to progress past the Cardinals today.
Today's big game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Carolina Panthers will start at 4.35 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the ESPN network. The game can also be watched online through live stream by clicking here.
