NFL Prediction Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons

NFL Prediction Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons



The Green Bay Packers travel to Atlanta to take on theFalcons this Sunday, and you don’t have to be an expert in NFL predictions tosee this as a potential preview of this year’s NFC Championship game.

This contest looks to be a bruising, old-time, Dez Bryant Jerseybattlebetween two teams fighting for the same opportunity: a birth in Super BowlXLIV. Both teams are evenly matched, andplaying well as they enter the home stretch of the regular season. In such a closely contested game, turnovers,special teams, and penalties could end up being the difference.

When the Falcons Havethe Ball: in the ATL they do whatever they want on offense. You want a big play? Fine, toss it over the top to 1000-yardreceiver Roddy White, an athletic, high IQ wide out with incredible speed andcatching ability. Want to slice adefense across the middle? Look nofurther than 10-time Pro Bowler Tony Gonzalez. Feel like pounding the ground and racking up time of possession, justhand the ball to Michael Turner and get out the way. All those weapons, all under the control ofPro Bowl QB Matt Ryan, have made Atlanta one of Dez Bryant Jersey best offenses thisseason.

How the Packers willtry to stop ATL: the Pack have relied on the big-play talents of sackmaster Clay Matthews and Defensive Player of the Year Charles Woodson to comeup with sacks, interceptions, and fumble recoveries all year long, things thathave contributed to the 2nd best scored-against average in theDez Bryant Jersey. Against Atlanta, they’ll need tospeed up the game on the edges and force mistakes, hopefully preventing thekind of clock-killing drives the Falcons specialize in. If anything, the Packers sometimes struggleagainst a power running attack, and that might lead them to crowd the line ofscrimmage and dare Atlanta to beat them deep, using physical bump-and-runcoverage to mess up Atlanta’s timing-based passing game.

When the Packers Havethe Ball: the Pack looked to be just as stacked as ATL when the seasonbegan, but injuries to their starting RB and TE have deprived of what was oncea well-rounded attack. Minus aconsistent running threat, the Packers have been forced to rely as much as everon the throwing arm of Pro Bowler Aaron Rodgers. And while they sometimes go through stretchesof ineffectiveness, the last few weeks have been spectacular displays ofoffensive prowess. Even thoughDez Bryant Jersey teamsknow it’s coming, they haven’t been able to stop the Pack’s passing attack. The reason? Aaron Rodgers might be the best in the game right now.

How the Falcons willtry to stop GB: Atlanta has had an up-and-down defensive year, and theyhave a propensity to give up huge passing numbers. But while teams have had their way throughthe air, Atlanta has also shown a knack for making a big play down the stretch,intercepting 15 passes so far this season. So while teams can pass against the Falcons, it has rarely translated tobig point totals, giving Atlanta the league 7th best scored-againstdefense. But against a team who wants topass (and rarely looks to run), theDez Bryant Jersey Falcons will be pressured to come up withturnovers this Sunday. If their seasonaverages hold up, they might be in for a long afternoon against Aaron Rodgersand the Packer’s passing attack
