I don't know how Green Bay of all teams stops that Atlanta offense when no one has all year, whereas I've seen the Packers' relatively one dimensional approach be slowed on a number of occasions this season and Atlanta's defense has improved enough to challenge them. I think they get the necessary stop or two that Dallas couldn't and edges out a win in a shootout. The Packers just aren't healthy enough to be the favorites here. 35-30 Atlanta sounds about right.
Meanwhile, the Steelers have their work cut out for them. I think their best chance to beat the Pats was this weekend, that game was really sloppy and the Texans couldn't capitalize because Osweiler is terrible. They should come out much sharper in the championship round and beat a Steelers team that was inconsistent throughout the year but has solidified into a very talented group with a great defense and myriad offensive weapons. Any other situation and they win but this one is brutal. 24-20 Pats.
