For most of the year the NFC was considered to be the better of the two Conferences, and Atlanta for the most part cruised right thru the NFC competition.

I think this is where we find out just how good this New England defence is. All these years of trading down in the first round, they have built a pretty solid unit that can play a lot of different schemes. You know what the Pats look for when they have 3 defensive backs all from Rutgers.

Atlanta's offence scored on pretty much everyone they played this year save the Eagles. So they should be a good test for New England.

Given the way these playoffs have gone, I suspect New England wins 35-21 type of thing.

Even when you play a good defensive game against New England, they can still light you up for 30.
