10* NFL Playoffs GAME OF THE YEAR
(NFL) Green Bay vs. Atlanta, 01/22/2017 10:05 AM, Score: 21 - 44
Point Spread: -5.00 | -110.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
Aaron Rodgers burned me big-time last week, but I don't think he can outscore the NFL's top offense in the Georgia Dome on Sunday. Atlanta is very good especially at home and they have great team speed which will be the difference here. Atlanta looked really good last week while handling Seattle in the divisional round. Ryan threw for 338 and three scores with Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman combining for 102 rushing yards and 102 receiving yards. Both backs scored against the Seahawks defense and Atlanta was able to sack Russell Wilson on 3 occasions, including once for a safety. I think the Falcons defense playing at home with their team speed on the turf will be able to slow down Rodgers and the Packers offense. Three of Aaron Rodgers receivers -- Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison -- are seriously banged up and are questionable. That should enable the Falcons to focus on stopping Green Bay's dangerous tight ends and take care of business here at home. Look for the Falcons to come up big here on Sunday afternoon and advance to the Super Bowl.
