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
 
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.

Settle did do what they are going to need to do to beat the Falcons. Long scoring TD drives. Atlanta answered pretty easily though.

Thought this was going to be a fairly high scoring game. If the possessions are limited I think Seattle has a great chance. If it does turn into a shootout of sorts give me Atlanta every day.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
