Seattle ain't beating the Falcons bubba. Stop listening to all those talk shows about Ryan not winning a playoff game. Hell the last two years that we lost in the playoffs that team went on to win the Super Bowl. Ryan didn't lose those games for us. NYG got red hot at the right time last year and so did the Packers the year before. Ryan is a smart QB and is ready to lead this team to the Super Bowl. Trust me if they don't win Sunday I'll be the first one to admit I'm wrong but I don't think that will happen. Falcons 31-17

Will see this weekend , but vols I think that Seattle is that team, there the giants from last year, the pack from the year before!!! There red hot and they have a mean fucking defense , corners that are tall enough and feisty enough and fast enough to hang with roddy white and julio jones!!! I watched Atlanta this year a lot man I'm telling You I think Seattle is gonna win!!!!!!!!!!

Here are me thoughts on the match ups.
Qb--- close between the two but Ryan is 7-1 in the dome this year so advantage Falcons
RB-- not even close. Seahawks
WR--not even close. Falcons
TE--not even close Falcons
Off line--- falcons don't give up alot of sacks but Seattle don't give up many at all either and have a better rushing line. Advantage Seahawks
Def line--- fact that sack happy Clemons is out this is a close call. Small advantage though still to Seattle.
LB-- could go either way but with Witherspoon I give falcons the edge.
DB-- Falcons have good corners but Seattle has 2 big physical studs. Seattle defense averages a Qb rating of 71.8 and Falcons aren't far behind with 77.1
Special Teams--- Falcons all day long. Mat Bryant 4-4 in 50+ yard attempts and Seattle lost its kicker and now has Ryan Longwell coming in
On paper it looks very close. I'm going with my gut and it tells me the Dome will be rocking and the Falcons will use Gonzalez across the middle and Rodgers on some screen passes out the backfield as it's biggest weapons while Roddy and Julio draw all the attention. Good luck to you all no matter who you play. Going to be a fun day of football!!!
So far I have $400 on the Falcons and $200 on a 10 point teaser NE pk,Den pk and ATL+7. We can both come out winners if the scores work out for us
Of the $400 on the Falcons $200 is at Falcons-2 and the other $200 is at -3 so that could hurt me a little if Falcons win by 3 and I push on half of it. But I'll take it if that happens!!!

Has nothing to do with Ryan not winning a playoff game. Has everything to do with what you are mentioning. Seattle is on the road to a title imo. They have peaked at the right time and are playing incredibly good. The corners will shut Roddy and Julio down. Atlanta can't run the ball. Gonzalez is too old to do it all by himself.

I like Seattle too but am I the only one scared to death about Seattle going cross country to Washington and winning a physical game, flying back home cross country again and then flying cross country again back to Atlanta for a 1 Eastern, 10 AM pacific start time? I don't think it can be overlooked and I think it could be the difference in the game to be honest.

Seattle/Atlanta - Aside from the above, Matt Ryan scares the hell out of me. I have been saying for years that this guy can't win the big game and that has been true ever since his College days at BC. I don't know why but he just seems to fold under pressure. With that said, this just may be his week/time.
Green Bay/San Fran - Tough one that has me leaning towards defense and the home team. The wildcard is the Rookie QB though. The unknown there is what makes this game soooo tough to predict.
Baltimore/Denver - I think the Ravens can win but the 1st meeting between these teams left such a sour taste in my mouth. I know the 100 yard pick 7 on the goal line really changed that game but that is what scares me .... Flacco. I just don't trust the guy at all. If they can get a ton of pressure on Manning, they got a shot. If they don't, they are screwed.
Houston/New England - I'm scared every time for every playoff game when my team is involved. I think the strength of the Patriots is what kills Houston here though. The Texans love to blitz and this is the wrong team to do that against. The Texans love to run the ball too and that is the strength of the New England defense and the front 7. Houston squeaked one out at Home last week but Cincy was way to vanilla imo. They should have come out throwing on every down and exposed the Houston pass defense like MANY others did this year. Houston had 1 guy to worry about and that was Green. Who was supposed to scare them after that? Gronk didn't play in the 1st meeting and it will be a different ball game when you have to cover him, Hernandez, Welker, Ridley, Woodhead, Branch and Lloyd. The Texans couldn't figure it out the 1st time and I don't think they will this time either.
