For me the main factors for us to win are:
1. Ponder starts and has a solid un-spectacular game (no T.O's)
2. A.D runs well but doesn't necessarily need a monster, i cant see there being more than 20points scored by either team (if all personel stay healthy)
3. D-line pressure Rodgers early (this shouldn't be a problem)
4. The most important factor for me and what also worries me the most, is that Smith/Winfield stay healthy for 4 quarters. After pretty much shutting out Rodgers 1st half, the loss of these guys made a massive difference 2nd half. In fact if Smith shrugs off that injury and can run 100%, i reckon he has a monster tonight.
If these things run in our favour, i predict a 20-17 win. Fingers crossed!!!

LOL... is that a serious question?
Ahhh come on, the Falcons are the most underwhelming #1 seed I've seen in a long time. We'll only be underdogs because by some made up rule they can't favor a #6 seed. I like our chances vs the Falcons more than I do vs any other team in the playoffs (on the NFC side).
