Much more faith in the Falcons coaching than the Cowboys coaching. Falcons will no huddle the Packers back too. Falcons have some studs on rhe edge. Even if Rodgers has great game I don't see the defense being good enough on the road. I would say give then Packers the ball first.

I'm in the same boat. Except that part of me wants to see Rodgers-Brady Super Bowl. I'd love to see ATL pull it off and go to the big game, but I think GB takes this one.

Falcons win by 3 in a shootout.

This will be me until it's 0:00 after the 4th and Atlanta is on the + side.

A Falcon win means the Niners would have to wait on Kyle Shanahan.

I'm all in on the Pack wagon.

I'm going with the Falcons to win this game & the Super Bowl.

Still staying pat on the Falcons as the SB winner. I have a feeling this is going to be one of the most legendary playoff games of all time.

No lie I believe this to be the best possible AFC/NFC championship games in the last 5 years. Unfortunately I want Atlanta to win (I like Underdogs), but it seems like unless its Rodgers the NFC champ will just be a SB competitor and not champions.

Falcons shouldn't be underdogs. HC with a better defense overall. Better running game Falcons running game will be X factor to keeping Rodgers off the field.

Other than the 1998 Superbowl, this is the biggest game of all time for the Falcons. I don't think the window will close for this team after this year (very young defense, Ryan and Jones still in the middle of their prime) but you just can't take this opportunity for granted. After 2012 many Falcons fans thought we'd be a mainstay on championship weekend and look how that turned out.

If Atlanta wins, it will be the 2nd year in a row, that a NFC South team represents the NFC in Super Bowl. If Green Bay wins, it guarantees a Super Bowl rematch with the Steelers from Super Bowl XLV or a Super Bowl rematch with the Patriots from Super Bowl XXXI.

The city of Atlanta is hungry for a Super Bowl, the Dome should be rocking tomorrow regardless of the rain... Kind of surprised the Falcons aren't favored more on sports channels. It's hard for me to see Green Bay beating this team with that crappy secondary, Aaron Rodgers has showed that he's the best QB in the world hands down but he's going up against a complete offensive juggernaut with a piss poor defense & without WR's Jordy Nelson & probably Adams.

This should be an exciting game, an ol' fashion shootout.
