Atlanta at home is a terrible match up for Green Bay. Atlanta on third down there percentage is 47 percent, Green Bays, 42 percent, fairly even. Atlanta was second in the league in time of possession, green bay was seventh. Turnover ratio +14 for Atlanta, +10 for Green Bay. These teams are fairly even I will give you that, but to bet on Green Bay after they played last week on the road, while Atlanta was resting getting ready for a home game is a square bet. Atlanta was the least penalized team during the regular season, they play smart, no turnover ball, and in the post-season adding the fact that they convert on third down, and also have a great home record, how could you bet Green Bay? Atlanta is going to run the ball down there throat and hit Gonzalez on third down, and drive down the field. Matt Ryan had 6 fourth quarter comebacks this season alone, he knows how to win. He beat a good Baltimore team, beat the saints once on the road, Matt Ryan last time out against Green Bay, 28 attempts, 24 Completions. This defense is not going to shut him down. Michael Turner last time, 110 yards on 23 carries. The best team in the NFC is ATLANTA! Green Bay is going to lose this week, and than I can stop hearing about Aaron Rodgers
