NFC Championship Game

I will make a rare NFL pick. I generally don't give many NFL picks out as there are better NFL 'cappers than me by far so keep that in mind.

Atlanta +4 vs San Francisco

Looking at last week's games, SF played incredibly well while Atlanta was underwhelming in their win. Everyone witnessed an unstoppable Niners offense and looking at the Falcon's defense, it does not look like they can stop a running qb.

However, Kapernick has been the QB for more than one game and he has not torn it up every time out so far. The Niners offense has been unstoppable at times however they have often laid an egg after a really strong performance.

Meanwhile, ATL has been hearing all week that they could not stop Cam Newton and that they won't be able to stop Kapernick. I think that will motivate both the players and the coaches to come up with a tight defensive game plan and they will be very focused.

On the other side of the ball, the matchup should be pretty even. Atl's offense will have their moments however the Niners defense is stout.I will call that a draw.

The difference in this game will be that the Niners offense will come back to earth and won't go on another scoring tear. Atlanta will score enough on offense to cover the spread and I think the Falcons will win the game and advance to the Superbowl.
