49ers still a possibility for Shanahan. I think everything else should be filled.

Predictions for the weekend:
Seahawks at Falcons: Classic matchup. Seattle's defense vs. Atlanta's offense. Seahawks lost Earl Thomas last month and this is the best offense they have faced since then. I look for Julio Jones to makes some big plays with no Thomas. Seattle will makes some plays on offense, but not enough to match the Falcons.
Falcons 28, Seahawks 20
Texans at Patriots: Biggest mismatch of the weekend by far. You know what you're going to get out of Tom Brady. Not so much from the other side. The Texans defense will keep them in it for a while, but with a lack of offense, the Patriots will wear them out in the second half. Patriots should cruise to the AFC Championship.
Patriots 34, Texans 10
Steelers at Chiefs: Have gone back and forth on this one. Chiefs have a strong defense. Steelers have a good offense. Weather could be a factor in this game. With a matchup this close, one player could be the difference maker. I feel like Le'veon Bell could be that difference maker in a close game.
Steelers 24, Chiefs 21
Packers at Cowboys: These two have a history against each other in the playoffs. You can make the argument Aaron Rodgers has played the best of any QB the last month. He will have one less target with Jordy Nelson being out. That is a big loss. Meanwhile, it's the playoff debut for Prescott and Elliott. With them and the O-Line, the Cowboys offense may be the perfect defense to the Packers. The Cowboys ball control offense makes the difference, as they finally go back to the NFC Championship.
Cowboys 31, Packers 24
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
I am forever scarred as an Atlanta sports fan. It's difficult to try to say we'll win today. Seattle's offense has the ability to hurt Atlanta over the middle of the field. That's something that's really hurt us on defense this year.
Falcons already on their heels. How do you not smother Graham there? Pathetic.

Big stop by the defense! Rise up!!!
Need to get the ball in the end zone here and get the ball back to start the half
Great way to end the first half. Score a TD to start out and I think Atlanta is looking good. Seattle has comeback a lot this season so even with a 16 point lead we know it's not a wrap, but making Seattle one dimensional on offense is how you beat them.
Ugh dumb penalty keeps them somewhat in the game. Tighten up.
Seattle is a dirty team
Feels like Atlanta's up by a lot, but only a two possession game. We had a bigger lead in 2012 at the same point and almost lost.
Run the goddamn ball.
Hell yes. Eat **** Sherman and Carroll.
Falcons got the easy game out of the way. Next week is gonna be a battle. While Dalls is a way better team than Green Bay, I have much more fear of Aaron ROdgers than of anyone in Dallas.
