The NFC's hottest team takes on the conference's top seed on Sunday in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs, when the Seattle Seahawks travel to face the Atlanta Falcons.
And boy oh boy, should this be a good game.
Seattle brings one of the league's top defenses, a bruising running game and standout rookie quarterback Russell Wilson. Meanwhile, Matt Ryan and the explosive Atlanta offense will look to prove the team is a true Super Bowl contender.
This game has everything you would want. A compelling underdog. A favorite trying to shed its "choker" label in the playoffs. A clash of styles. And, of course, plenty of superstars.
Is it Sunday yet?
Where: Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia
When: Sunday, Jan. 13 at 1 p.m. ET
Prediction
Seattle has a much better defense and comes into this game having won six in a row. In addition, the dual threat of Wilson at quarterback gives the offense an added dimension for Atlanta's defense to worry about. I'm not sure if the Falcons will choke again, but I do think the Seahawks will win this one simply by being the more physical team.
Seattle wins, 24-21.
