1) Falcons had the easiest schedule in the league this year
2) They have not won a playoff game since 2005, losing in the first round of the playoff 3 of the last 4 years. (The other year they didn't make it)
3) Russell Wilson has more playoff wins than Matt Ryan
4) ATL ranks 24th in the league in defense. Seattle ranks 4th

In other news:

Denver over Ravens 24-13
Packers over Niners 17-14
Patriots over Texans 31-17

Falcons are 7-1 at home this year. Seattle is not a good road team, except for last week of course.

If I'd change any of my picks to take one road winner, it would be Green Bay beating SF, but I don't think GB has a complete-enough team to go to the SB again. Middle-of-the-pack defense and not much of a running game. Can they make it again? Sure, but there are more complete teams still playing they'll have to beat.
