I've seen a few schools of thought but wanted to hear from folks who follow it a lot more closely than I do. Seems like nobody would want to play against aaron rodgers right now, but dallas is the better overall team despite having a rookie QB. Also of course GB would be home where dallas would be on the road.

I guess all things considered we would want GB to win?

If Nelson is going to be out I would want to play at home, even if it is against Rodgers. Rodgers success this year is tied directly to Nelson this year

Give me Green Bay at home everyday of the week. Dallas, in Dallas, behind that OL... No thanks.

I'll be pulling for the Packers. Hope it's a long physical game

I think they'd like to play at the Georgia Dome

A. Not sure this needs an (OT) tag right now given how this board looked yesterday

B. Green Bay. I want one more in The Dome.

The noise factor on the road kills the o line communication.

Dome would be best.

I think Fa!Cons will beat either team though. SuperBound baby!

Torn on this one. Playing at home is always better than on the road. But, I feel like we will throttle Dallas regardless of where we play versus a shootout with GB. I just think Dallas is the easiest path to the SB.

What about AFC? With the Pats winning yesterday who is the ideal super bowl opponent of those remaining

Ive gone back and forth on this, but ultimately, I think we want Green Bay at home.

We've been dominated once this year, and that was by Philly on the road. They pounded the ball, and played the clock, and thats something that Dallas can do.

Russell Wilson is a very mobile QB, and except for a couple of plays, we really kept him in check, and had three sacks. I think that would bode well for us against Rogers. He's going to get his, but our secondary is very opportunistic right now, and I would expect at least one INT.

Offensively, neither defense can stop us.


If we look ahead(we shouldnt), no team in the AFC scares me. Id love some revenge on Kansas City, but I honestly dont care. We make it that far, we're going to be Superb Owl Champs.

This and the Falcons did squeak out a win vs the Packers early in the season.

Y'all should pull for the Cowboys...

I might be a little biased though.

Cowboys worry me. Prescott and Elliot make that offense nearly unstoppable. If the Falcons can put pressure on Rodgers and not give him too much time they can handle GB on offense. Falcons should then be able to score enough to win. Gonna take 35 points to win.

I think KC is our best matchup. Their O isn't that dynamic and we've already proven we can score on their D.

If you can get a home game, it's always better

I'm torn, I'd love to play at home but beating GB twice in one yr wont be easy. If Jordy is out that helps a ton though. Dallas OL scares me but that's it, their D isn't great and Dak is due for a choke job... So I'm just pulling for multiple injuries on both sides, not career ending one, but season for sure.
