NFC Championship Game

4. Green Bay Packers (12-6) @ 3. Seattle Seahawks (12-5-1)

In the NFC’s version of Championship Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks will complete their interesting journey through the tournament (if all goes according to plan). They’ll first play at home, then go to Atlanta, and then return home to host the Pack in the NFC title game.

Unlike two seasons ago, however, in which Russell Wilson and the Hawks devastated the Packers with a late onside kick, this time will be extremely different.

Without Earl Thomas, Rodgers is going to slice up the Seahawks defense on the road. It’ll be one of the most legendary games in playoff QB history. At this point in the game, Seattle, who had gotten to this point on sheer will, will be severely outmatched by the hottest team on the planet, one that comes in with an eight-game winning streak.

Packers 41, Seahawks 14
