Green Bay vs Atlanta
We Red-ay….We Red-ay….We Red-ay…..We Red-ay…it's all about dem Dirty Birds Shawtay! Is what my inner Atl-ien voice is saying, but my voice of reason is telling me the Packers!
Relax, my voice of reason vastly differs from conventional and accepted forms of reasoning. For instance, common sense would suggest pick the home team, especially in the playoffs. Logic would imply that Matt Ryan is virtually unbeatable in the Georgia Dome (20-2) , the Falcons ALREADY beat this Packers team THIS YEAR at the Dome, and the Falcons are the best team in the NFC overall this year.
That's why it's all too good to be true. The subplot of this contest features the productivity of each team's respective quarterbacks. I love Matty Ice and what he represents, but I have him just 1 year behind Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers in terms of progression and success. Both qb's found themselves trying to (and successfully) replace bigger then life qb's (Vick and Favre) while establishing their own identity. With that said, I think Rodgers is on fire and is extremely confident in beating the team I thought would beat the Falcons anyway (Vick and the Eagles).

Seahawks vs Bears
Like the Clash of the Titans run by Marshawn Lynch against the Saints, the Hawks win vs New Orleans was an aberration.
Yeah, yeah, yeah the defending SuperBowl champ hasn't won a playoff game in several years, but no one saw Seattle's inept and anemic offense erupting for 41 points against the same Saints defense that beat Kurt Warner, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning in succession last year to win the title.
The thrill is gone for the Hawks this week in the Windy City. The Bears!
