The second round starts Saturday. Will you get the winning picks with tons of analysis, trends, angles and statistics?
The Falcons have some good angles going for them: they're 10-3 ATS when RoadDog against an NFC team, 12-4 ATS when they're coming off a game where their defense took a vacation, and 9-4 ATS when playing a respectable defense on the road. The Packers have been tough at home all season (7-1 ATS), especially after a win (5-0 ATS). Hale's liking this game somewhat, but for the fact that Atlanta has covered in 6 of the 7 matchups in Green Bay. Atlanta has a horrible pass defense (#26 in the NFL), which should have Favre drooling. Nine points is a lot, but Hale's confident that Favre will rise to the occassion with a gritty performance, while the Falcons will find the emotional well dry after beating the 49ers last week.
