The Atlanta Falcons beat the same Seattle Seahawks at home 30-28 to advance to the NFC Championship Game. We’ll check him after the whole week’s (done) and then see how it goes – all the way to game day.

Seattle did it that way often on October 16, when Sherman was not called for obvious pass interference late while defending Jones on a thrown ball that would’ve put the Falcons in game-winning field goal position if a flag was thrown in a game that the Seahawks won 26-24.
The NFL playoffs continue this weekend and many are excited to see how far the Dallas Cowboys will go after going from a terrible 4-12 season previous year to having their best season in over a decade. A 42-24 Week 11 loss to the Redskins dropped Green Bay to 4-6, with many in the national media calling the team flat-out awful. Atlanta is a 4.5-point favorite. Amusing thing is Patriots’ defense allows 4.5 fewer points per game than Texans and Miller only averaged 2.4 yards per carry in wild-card win over Oakland. “I think what our team has been great at is taking those losses, those devastating games where things don’t go our way and we come back out of it better than we were before”.
But I suspect Ryan might have a few interceptions in him vs. the Seattle secondary, I think Seattle’s D can keep Atlanta under 27, and I don’t trust Atlanta’s defense in this big moment to keep Seattle under 22-especially if Russell Wilson gets a couple short fields after Falcon turnovers.
The Kansas City Chiefs await the Saturday playoff games. “He plays hard every snap”. Chancellor was out, which impacted some of the defense’s communication and ability to be hard-hitting.
Remember that play at the end of the Week 6 matchup?
Ryan and the Falcons boast a historically productive offense that should present a challenge to the Seahawks, who despite shutdown coverage from CB Richard Sherman have been vulnerable to downfield passes in recent weeks. Green Bay is the team no one wants to face right now, which makes this call so hard. “And if they’re not calling it, it’s going to be a physical game”.
Falcons rookie safety Keanu Neal said he’s looking forward to the challenge of an experienced Seattle team. But New England could still win in a blowout – say, 24-10 – and Houston covers! The Seahawks advanced to the Super Bowl in both seasons, winning Super Bowl XLVIII.
Sheil Kapadia of ESPN explains why the Seahawks will win – and why they will lose.
The Seahawks were way out there with first-year line starters – left guard Mark Glowinski and right guard Germain Ifedi, before Fant made it three – for a team that has Super Bowl ambitions. A year later, however, the Falcons won 11 regular-season games and a NFC South title and claimed a first-round bye, and the locker room appears to be united.
Green Bay enters Dallas on a seven-game win streak, with Aaron Rodgers playing better than any passer in football at the moment.

“There’s nothing wrong with the Dome”. All teams that qualify for the playoffs are legit but if the Texans win at New England they get the Buster Douglas award.
