Packers at Falcons: Picks, predictions and odds

They had faced all five of the other NFC playoff qualifiers this season. It’s the opposing defense that they’ve got to worry about, not their counterpart.

It wasn’t without drama, but the Green Bay Packers have held to Aaron Rodgers’ word and have run the table. In fact, Ryan said exactly that this week.

Added Quinn: “I anticipate him being ready to rock next week”. He’s a good friend. They can split him outside and treat him like a receiver to play those kinds of routes. He’s had an unbelievable year. The Packers have the eighth-best rush defense in the NFL.

When shopping around for a new team, Mack liked what he saw in Atlanta, even though the Falcons hadn’t made the playoffs in three years.

“We wanted to see the team at the airport but their flight got canceled and they had to go to Milwaukee”, said Bradley Niemi, Packers fan. When we’re out in Tahoe, especially the active guys, we’re all trying to beat each other. Considering I’ve only picked one game incorrectly this postseason, I think you’ll want to listen to me. If I have several smaller weapons against two bazookas in Bell and Brown, I’ll take the bazookas. Get the (expletive) out of my face then. That’s what a good competitor does. Metro tells you where to place your bets. They played “big nickel” much of the game, with safety Micah Hyde in the slot and a 4-2 front that asked for a lot from its linemen and linebackers against the run. They moved the ball at will against the Seattle Seahawks in their 36-20 win Saturday as Ryan starred with 338 passing yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions.

Yet there was a subtle air of confidence, a suggestion that Ryan and his team aren’t done yet as the Falcons bid to make it to the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history.

“Matt’s a great player”. That took away Green Bay’s patented in-breaking routes and also created as a soft spy on Aaron Rodgers.

CBS46 found tickets for Sunday’s game online going for $10,000, even as much as $13,049 Thursday, but buyer beware of counterfeit tickets. “But it’s hard to kind of put a name necessarily on a play where we have a roll-out with a clear-out and everybody else kind of running to the left”. “Not insane red zone stuff or huge production, which I think he is capable of, but just his presence out there has been huge for us, given us an option down the middle and given us an option splitting him out on his own side too”. Also, Falcons president Rich McKay was temporarily relieved of his duties on the league’s competition committee, per Pro Football Talk. On top of the flu, receivers Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison were limited in practice this week.

Though the Cowboys offense was able to fight back and erase a dominant Packers lead, one thing Dallas wasn’t able to do throughout the game was rush the passer.

Our question is, what will the Super Bowl LI match-up be?

“You don’t go in the game thinking you’re going to give up hundreds of yards and a bunch of points”, Collins said.

Do I have any bold predictions for Sunday?

“I don’t know how to explain it”, said Gonzalez, who retired in 2013. But he’s a tough competitor. “I’m really proud of his effort”.

The Packers had issues at cornerback, too, with Quinten Rollins recovering from a concussion.

Plenty of unknowns
