FalconTough Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 My Atlanta Falcons have a bye week this week, which means I will have a clear mind from now until I find out who will be visiting the Georgia Dome on January 13th at 1:00PM EST. I will capitalize on my sane and unbiased mind and make my playoff predictions. Now, if you are expecting a bunch of stats, numbers, and formulated predictions, you may be disappointed. My picks often come within the first few seconds from when I hear who’s playing who. I have had tremendous success in making bets off these snap (punt intended) judgments so far this year, so I’ll give you just that.Predictions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayoh Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 We agreed on everything until the Packers beat us. Why, after all of the elite QBs that our defense has made look goofy, would Aaron Rodgers of all people come in and shred us knowing the history we have with him/them?

Regardless of what we've done, it'll still be tough to shut Rodgers down. I never said we couldn't, but it's just as possible he plays well.

Guest Negatorris Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The Packers don't have a running game, and their OL is probably weaker than ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I was with ya til the Packers beating us...we should be able to handle them this year. Our defense is not the same as 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Of course you were all with him until the Packers beat us. That's a nightmare, and you're Falcons fans, so you don't want that.Realistically, I definitely think we can beat them, but they're the team I'd like to face least. Could handle us possibly, or we could handle them. His prediction isn't unreasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconTough Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Tried to write it from an outsider's point of view. Plus our chances, while still good, weren't good enough to change my preseason prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joremarid Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 i think we'll be playing the vikings next sunday...the pack couldn't stop AP in either game, he ran for 409 yards and scored 3tds in the two games, so i don't know why they are all of a sudden going to stop him now. christian ponder has played much better since the packer game.

xFalconLord Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 im pullin for the vikings to clear our path to the SB.. if the Vikes win.. we make the SB fairly easily IMOThe packers are the only team that has a better QB.. The Better QB usually wins the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 You screwed up talking bout the packers game. Why does everyone point at Atlanta and say they can't do this. The Packers played a weak schedule haven't beaten any winning teams this year (2-5 against teams above .500). Have the worst OLine in the playoffs (50 sacks allowed) the most injuries (13 starters) on both sides off the ball. Lost their #1 WR (Randall Cobb) since losing their first #1 earlier this year (Greg Jennings) and have no running game. They have to travel to SF win there then fly to Atl. Pack are 4-4 on the road and 1-2 in Domes this year with the 1 win coming @ Detroit. Packers haven't faced a team with a winning record in almost 2 months (Houston 10/14/2012). Vikings will knock the Packers out the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only change the Houston/Cincy game. I don't think the Bengals are ready to hit the road and beat the Texans, despite Houston's recent slide.

B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Jordy Nelso has been the Pack number 1 receiver the past two years. But I do think the Vikings will beat the Pack SaturdayThought Nelson was #2 on depth chart behind Jennings. Either way they both were injuried. Jennings looks good but Nelson didn't look 100%. I don't think Packers make it to meet us but if they did we'd beat them IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilleniumFalcon Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Packers will be difficult to beat, I'm hoping the Vikings upset them in Lambeau. Their O-line is terrible but we've seen Aaron Rodgers extend plays and kill us before, the key thing will be to getting him on the ground once you reach him.
