PACK QB Aaron RODGERS and DIRTY BIRDS QB Matty ICE RYAN set to do BATTLE in the BIRDCAGE in A T L.....DEFENSE will play a major factor in this one.

For the PACKERS sake looking at the weather in ATL they probably wish this game was played at old FULTON COUNTY Stadium but then the PACK would be facing the likes of Billy "WHITE SHOES" Johnson, William Andrews, QB Steve Bartkowski, and a FRESH out of FLORIDA STATE....PRIME TIME....NEON DEION Sanders.

But Fast Forward to the Georgia DOME, aka the BIRDCAGE the BLUEDUDE Calls it, as there will be no weather forecast for this one as we go indoors on a fast track in ATLANTA.

QB MAtt RYAN rallied the FALCONS over the PACK in Week 12 to let the NFC Conference know that the 2011 NFC Playoffs have to come through us and rightfully so. The FALCONS have almost been unbeatable in the DOME and the only loss was a 3 point loss to Division rival and Defending World Champion New Orleans SAINTS. But the FALCONS come in at a robust 13-3 having only loss to all of the state of Pennsylvania and the aforementioned SAINTS. They are playing at a high level and the DIRTY BIRDS Defense is better than you think.

Since then though the PACKERS have put together some nice but close victories and have been playing Playoff Football since they left ATL in Week 12 with the Loss. And before QB Aaron RODGERS and the O was clicking on all cylinders it has been Defensive Coordinator Dom CAPERS and that dynamic 3-4 with monster OLB Clay MATTHEWS doing some real damage coming off the edge.

Pencil that front seven with the likes of All-World CB Charles "I rep FREMONT OHIO in case you didn't know by way of Ann ARBOR " WOODSON and Safety Nick COLLINS, the PACKERS Defense might be just as formidable if not more formidable than both the STEELERS and RAVENS at this point. And they played a tough BEARS team on the last night of the season to get in and they took apart the EAGLES last week and an explosive MIKE VICK and DeSEAN JACKSON Offense to win at the LINC. So playing on the road for the PACK means nothing at this point. the only thing that might slow down the PACK is that mid-JANUARY Snowstorm out of nowhere.

So on to the GAME as we weigh-in on the VITALS:

SATURDAY JANUARY 15, 2011
8PM ET
GEORGIA DOME aka the BIRDCAGE

The OFFENSIVE Ranks for the PACK and DIRTY BIRDS

PACKERS

358.1 Total YPG
257.8 Pass YPG
100.4 Rush YPG
24.2 PPG
41.5% 3rd down Conversion

FALCONS

341.1 Total YPG
222.9 Pass YPG
118.2 Rush YPG
25.9 PPG
46.7% 3rd down Conversion

The edge for the PACK is the PASSING GAme of Rodgers to Driver, Jennings, or Jones. So the FALCONS Secondary of Grimes, Robinson, Moore, and DeCOUD need to be on their game because the AIR ATTACK is coming.

On the flipside the PACKERS know they must stop Michael "BURNER" TURNER and the FALCONS Running Attack so that MATTY ICE'S play action won't be as effective. Because if Big Fella gets to rolling downhill to the 2nd level all night the FALCONS will win going away.

The DEFENSIVE Ranks for the PACK and DIRTY BIRDS

PACKERS

309.1 Total YPG
194.2 Pass YPG
114.9 Rush YPG
15.0 PPG
36.2% 3rd Down Conversion

FALCONS

332.4 Total YPG
226.6 PAss YPG
105.9 Rush YPG
18.0 PPG
39.3 % 3rd Down Conversion

The PACKERS have the edge in the Secondary and points allowed which directly correlates to MATTY ICE having to make crucial plays and a lot of them in order for the FALCONS to win if they can't run the ball effectively.

The Front 4 of Babineaux and Abraham are going to be a problem for the PACKERS O-LINE and they must contain them. The BIRDS also have a very underrated secondary with hard-hitting safeties....RODGERS needs to be on his P's and Q's.

This game will come down to McCARTHY and SMITH...which teams makes the proper on the fly adjustments during the game....and if it comes down to game management.....SMITH and the FALCONS will win......McCARTHY in a few games this year has looked uncomfortable in key situations during the season.

WINNER: PACKERS........RODGERS and those WIDEOUTS deem to be too much for the DIRTY BIRDS.
