When the Packers visited Atlanta in Week 8, Rodgers threw for 246 yards and four touchdowns, and he rushed for 60 yards.

That’s the best odds of any of the four teams that will play today. He passed for a franchise-record 4,944 yards and 38 touchdowns. “As a football historian and someone who’s loved the game since a young age, you realize how special it is to be part of this team, but also know that this team has been around since 1919, and it’s going to be around long after you’re done”.
“To take another step to break through a new ceiling – it’s really hard”. The Packers have just one turnover in the last six games and have forced 16 turnovers in those games, all wins. He said on Thursday that he expected to play this weekend, and he showed no noticeable limp as he went through Friday’s drills.
“We have come to the day and age when it is all about how many Super Bowls have you been in, how you play in the so-called big game”, former quarterback-turned TV analyst Phil Simms, a two-time Super Bowl victor with the New York Giants who was named MVP of the championship game in 1987, told a conference call on Wednesday.
LSU’s last win in the Georgia Dome came on December 3, 2011 with a 42-10 victory over 12th-ranked Georgia, capping a ideal 13-0 regular season for the Tigers.
The rout is officially on in The Georgia Dome. In the final two years of the Mike Smith era in Atlanta, the Falcons went 10-22. If you’re not one of those eight people on the planet who are that way, you better be extremely gifted in some other aspect. We don’t have a general philosophy defensively because of our explosiveness on offence.
The game is a rematch of the October 30th regular-season game, when the Falcons defeated the Packers, 33-32.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hasn’t played well on the road all season, and last week’s divisional-round win at Kansas City was no exception.
Falcons quarterback Chris Chandler had a rough outing against the Broncos. Most teams would play for overtime, but when you have Aaron Rodgers playing like Neo after cracking the code to the Matrix, there was a sense that the Cowboys left him too much time. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 26 of 37 passes for 338 yards and three TDs last week with no interceptions. His inspired play, as of late, has lit a fire under the Steelers’ defense, but he’s hardly the only one on a tear.
There is, in my humble opinion, no question about Dan Quinn’s acumen as a head coach, as there was a year ago.

“I believe in order to be one of the few people on the planet who can do that type of stuff, you have to have a very gifted arm”, Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said. On the scramble, Rodgers routinely gets seven seconds or more to find an open man and he’s just as adept in the pocket. I think the best thing coach Quinn has got across to those guys is to live in the moment right now and don’t worry about anything else.
