NFL Playoff Preview: Falcons/Packers

Later tonight, the Atlanta Falcons and the Green Bay Packers will rumble down in the Georgia Dome in a highly anticipated matchup. Many people in America are picking the Green Bay Packers to win because of Aaron Rogers and his QB play. Everybody is "gay" for him for utterly no good reason. He's only won one playoff game, he got beat by the Cardinals last year in the post-season, and there is no reason to suggest that the Packers will be able to beat the Falcons on the road this year in the playoffs. The Falcons are 13-3 this year, and Matt Ryan the QB of the Falcons never loses in A-Town (the Falcons are 7-1 @ home this season). The Packers are banged up this year and are facing a healthy and excited Atlanta Falcon team on the road. Falcons got all the mojo going into this game and have every reason to believe that they will beat the Packers at home. We saw how much teams struggled in the Superdome last year in New Orleans, and I expect a similar deal here. It's a tough place to play in Atlanta with those fans going nuts. Matt Ryan of the Falcons is having just as good of a year as Aaron Rogers of the Packers, only he's at home, with a week's rest and preparation to face the Packers. Look for the Falcons to win this game.
