I think it's a tossup but I'm taking the opposite. Atlanta in a nail biter just like their previous matchup this year.

This is the game I'm most looking forward to. Since NO and Indy are out, I'll be rooting for the winner of this game to take the Super Bowl!

Packer fan here. I think it will be a tight game, but one does have to wonder how much the Pack has in the tank. They've been in playoff mode for 3 weeks now (Giants, Bears, Eagles) and while that could work to their advantage, they may be a little spent by the time they get down to Atlanta. However, they didn't have any big injuries in the game against Philly and their offense kept the ball for 32 minutes so their defense shouldn't be too worn out from chasing around Vick.

That said, Rodgers had a field day against the Falcons in week 12 and I expect the same this time (he had 344 yards and a TD). I think he can go for 250 and 2 TDs, and they can add one on the ground as well. Can the defense hold Atlanta to 20 points again this time?

Rodgers is very good, their defense is very good.....getting much of the hype

Atlanta is very good at home....they are solid all-around. The closer this game gets the more everyone is jumping on Aaron Rodgers and how great he is and how great the Packers defense.....the Falcons defense is solid and I believe they will step up and play great....again and win the game 24-21

I see Green Bay pulling this one out. I say 28 - 17 or so.

Tough one to call.

I don't like how everyone is picking against the Falcons.

Saturday night in that dome. They've been a good team all year.

But I think we'll end up with Packers vs. Bears.

Packers 27
Falcons 24

Atlanta had 2 wins vs Carolina, 4 vs NFC West, Cleveland and Cincinnati. They did have quality wins vs Balt, GB and 2 with TB (if u wanna count them). Split with NO, winning in week 3. Ill take GB!!

I think it was ironman.

I could see either team winning this game.

I do think the Falcons have been disrespected as the No. 1 seed and that could serve as extra motivation.

However, the Packers are a talented team and one of the reasons they are a No. 6 seed is because Rodgers missed a few games.

YEAH!

Read my post....The Falcons defense is as underrated as Rodgers is overrated.

I've been wrong before.....but I'm taking the Falcons.

I'd say it looks like it's gonna be a long day for the Pack. But we just seen what happened in the last game. So, I won't.
