Atlanta finally got that one signature win last week, blowing out the Giants, even though the Giants might not even make the playoffs now. You can question their talent all you want and I think they might be the least talented of the top-5 teams, but their home field advantage is going to be a major asset as Matt Ryan is a ridiculous 32-5 at home in his career. I still think the 49ers could go in and win, but I think the list of teams I’d pick to win a playoff game in Atlanta ends there (you might be able to talk me into Green Bay).
