We’ve managed to find ourselves in a rematch of titans between the Arizona Cardinals and the Carolina Panthers.

Instead of a trip to Super Bowl 50 on the line, it’s now going to come down to one of them to represent their conference again.

And they want to represent it well.

Last year, Arizona got embarrassed because they didn’t know what they had coming in Carolina.

Now they know, and they’ll be intent on learning from their mistakes.

Not to mention that by now, Cam Newton will be pretty full of himself.

Carson Palmer has this year to show he and Larry Fitzgerald can bring the elusive Lombardi Trophy back to Arizona with them, and after escaping in an overtime thriller will get the chance to face Oakland for it all.

2017 NFC Championship Prediction:

Cardinals 31, Panthers 29

Next: Super Bowl LI
