Did anyone besides me watch the Falcons . Chicago Game last Sunday .
The Falcons hung on by the skin of their teeth to win but not until Chicago was driving for a TD
on the last 5 plays or so.
Give me Aaron Rodgers and the + 4 anyday of the week and I will take it twice on Sunday
Last year they came down here on a monday night and Green Bay got whipped. this is a new year and what I saw what they did to Seattle, I dont think this will be anything but a close game. And in a close game, give me Green Bay and the points.
I smell money and it smells green.

the only thing I don't like about this game is the Falcons are playing their first home game in the new Mercedes stadium.
they are want when they are on national TV at home to try to be superstars.
I lost betting against them last year vs Green Bay in a monday night game.
I believe the Falcons Secondary is going to be picked apart in this game .
GO GREEN BAY !

Yup Watched it .. also late $$ was all bears I will have Green Bay in teaser and i are feelin good at +10
Well your odds are okay As checked my sites and best is +4 -145 odds as well. Still Falcons beat Packers twice at home last year and killed them in NFC Championship, but like revenge angle. Great game, tough game to wager IMHO... Good Luck!
The Packers held on for a 17-9 victory over the Seahawks at Lambeau Field in Week 1, winning their seventh straight regular-season game overall -- the second longest active win streak in the league (Steelers -- 8).
The nine points scored by Seattle last Sunday were the fewest allowed by Green Bay in a game since beating Dallas, 28-7, in Week 14 of 2015.
The Falcons beat the Packers twice last season: 33-32 in Week 8 of the regular season, and 44-21 in the NFC Championship Game. Including the postseason, Atlanta has defeated Green Bay three straight times just once in franchise history (1971-1974).
Aaron Rodgers threw for 311 yards and a touchdown (1 INT) last Sunday, improving to 100-52 in his career as a starter (including postseason).

Eight months ago, the Green Bay Packers took an eight-game winning streak to Atlanta for the NFC Championship Game against the Falcons.
It was a massacre. The Falcons held a 24-point lead at halftime and coasted to a 44-21 victory.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy had no interest in taking a verbal walk down memory lane on Wednesday, ahead of Sunday's road game against Atlanta.
"If you're thinking about last year and talking about last year, you're just wasting time and energy," McCarthy said. "To get to the point where you're playing in January and the opportunity to play in the Super Bowl, you've got to focus on what's going on today. That's really what our guys are focused on."
It stands to reason that McCarthy is focused on the here and now rather than January.
After all, injuries had obliterated his secondary and MVP quarterback Matt Ryan and star receiver Julio Jones took full advantage. Ryan finished with 392 passing yards and four touchdowns (plus one rushing score), with 271 yards and three total TDs in the first half alone. Jones caught nine passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns, including a 73-yarder to start the second half.
The man attempting to cover Jones that day was LaDarius Gunter. The former undrafted free agent had been forced into the No. 1 role because of injuries.
On Tuesday, Gunter was released -- a sign of how much better the Packers believe they are at cornerback. With free-agent addition Davon House added to the starting lineup and Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins past last year's groin injuries, Green Bay limited Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson to 14-of-27 passing and 158 yards in last week's 17-9 victory.
The Packers' defense will face a much bigger challenge against the Falcons' high-flying attack. With Ryan throwing for almost 5,000 yards and posting the fourth-best passer rating in NFL history, the Falcons piled up 540 points last season -- tied for the eighth-most of all-time.
That unit got off to somewhat of a slow start in last week's 23-17 victory at Chicago. While Ryan threw for 321 yards -- including an 88-yard touchdown by tight end Austin Hooper -- the Falcons' longest running play (other than a Ryan scramble) went for just seven yards.
"I wasn't panicking," Ryan said. "It's all about trying to get better week to week. That's the focus. The good teams that I've been on are the teams that continue to get better throughout the year. I think the experience of that first game is going to serve us well."
Defensively, the improvement the Packers hope to make is what the Falcons made during the second half of last season. With four rookies in the starting lineup, Atlanta yielded an average of 28.8 points in the first nine game of last season. That decreased to 21.0 over the last seven regular-season games as linebackers Deion Jones and De'Vondre Campbell, safety Keanu Neal and cornerback Brian Poole gained experience.
mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Think you had right call and refs screwed you a lot... hate saying zebras determined game, but the offensive PI call was worth 7 to 10 points alone in 1st half as game goes to half 17-7 or 17-10 instead of 24-7. Also, seemed Atlanta had a number of calls go their way and I had Falcons so liked it, but just being honest as was hoping we both won since I had Atlanta ML & -2.5 for my wagers, but the lateral scoop and score was very debatable. Also, you mentioned 1st game at new stadium and pushed me to hammer Falcons 1st half ML.
Sorry I had the Packers but Atlanta could have hung 50 but they went conservative.. They could go.down field.anytime they wanted. They dis get the calls too
Why Packers lost !!
Why Packers lost !!
No Bryan Bulaga or David Bakhtiari prob one of the best tandems in the NFL They Keep Rogers upright . Sunday night he got hit more than a Volley Ball . Any one ever hear of the 2 guys that replaced them ??? No Mike Daniels .. No disrupter Matty had time fer a cocktail durin plays Jordy Neson out early with Quad injury If you knew Bulaga and Bakhtiari were out The Packers become a no bet... You have to put your plays to bed and that means ur decisions are made shortly to game time . Especially if you are laying dimes and not the price of a slushy !!
