Line is extremely weird. Pack couldn't stop Michael Turner in their first matchup. Then factor in the in-game ineptitude of Mike McCarthy and line should be at least -6.

Packers. Falcons are so unimaginative. They'll get behind and then Turner will be completely out of the gameplan.

Right. Because they never throw the ball to the NFL season leader in receptions and 2nd in yards. Or a Hall of Fame TE.

This game will be decided on turnovers. GB fumbled away the first game against Atlanta (Rodgers QB sneak) and the Falcons didn't make any mistakes.

Matt Ryan +19 TD:INT ratio 5th in the NFL

Falcons as a team 3rd in turnover ratio, 2nd in Time of Possession, and best in the NFL by a LONG margin in (least) penalties. If Atlanta can keep up with that style of play, protecting the ball and keep the offense on the field, they will beat Green Bay again. Home field being the ultimate advantage (again vs Green Bay) in this game.

and everyone said that EXACT same thing.....the Baltimore line said Chiefs and we all know how swell that turned out for Chefs bettors.

Should be a tight game and i expect a very good game. Depends if GB can find that running game again for a 2nd straight week. Falcons very tough to beat at home on the flip side. Probably expect a game just like the first one.

I don't think line shows anything right now. Atl won on last min field goal at home when they played.
