The Atlanta Falcons went 13-3 on the season and earned the top overall seed in the NFC for the NFL playoffs. After the upset in Philadelphia on Sunday evening, the Falcons will host the Green Bay Packers next Saturday at 8:00 p.m. (ET) on FOX.
NFL Playoff Odds: Falcons Slightly Favored Over Packers
The Falcons are a tough team to beat because they don’t have any glaring weaknesses. They’re very good on both sides of the ball ranking fifth in offense and fifth on defense. They’re consistent and they’re lead by one of the best young quarterbacks in the game in Matt Ryan.
The Packers have their own quarterback in Aaron Rodgers and they're also a balanced team ranking 10th in offense and second in defense. The Packers have kept every game they've played this year close so I wouldn't expect a blowout on either side.
The Falcons already beat the Packers once this year, 20-17, in Atlanta.
The Falcons are small favorites over the Packers right now sitting at 1-2.5 points depending on where you look. It’s hard to pick a line in this game because with the way both teams have played all year you know it’s going to come down to a one possession game.
