Sometimes you just have to go with the "eyeball" test. Last week, everybody I know (and 99%) of the boards were on Houston to cover. My eyeballs said no way. NE covered easily.

Just posted this in another thred Odd it was not mentioned
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree has been questioned by police regarding a sexual assault allegation, the San Francisco Police Department confirmed to NFL.com and NFL Network. Police said that the alleged assault occurred in a city hotel room early Sunday.
Officer Gordon Shyy told NFL.com that Crabtree was interviewed earlier this week. The victim did not contact police until a few days later, after which police interviewed Crabtree with his lawyer present.
The officer also said the investigation is active, but he has no details as far as a timeline.
The 49ers arrived in Atlanta on Friday night in advance of the NFC Championship Game and released a statement on the matter:
"We are aware of the allegation against Michael and understand that he has fully cooperated with authorities," GM Trent Baalke said. "The 49ers take such matters very seriously. We will have no further comment at this time as the legal process is ongoing. Additional requests for comment should be directed to Michael's attorney."
The San Francisco Chronicle and Comcast SportsNet Bay Area report that Crabtree is expected to play in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Crabtree has not been detained or arrested. He has agreed to make himself available for possible further interviews about an assault.
No other information is available at this time, but we'll continue to update the situation as news warrants.

Atlanta Defense
This game is tough to call.
Yes, Altanta went 3-1 vs the mobile QB's.
But recall Carolina was running out the clock and fumbled to give Atl the victory.
I know "woulda coulda shoulda", right?
In those 4 games I see this:
Griffin was held completely in check, but he did get hurt and Kirk Cousins played much of the 2nd half. Griffin only attempted one rush in the entire game.
In the other 3 games, 2 with Newton and 1 with Wilson. Each game the opposing QB tossed 2 TD's and ran for 1 TD. Allowing about 80 yds rushing per QB and about 295 yds passing to the mobile QB's.
This game is a very tough call. I have difficulty playing against such a strong home team but also I have a challenge relying on Atl's defense against SF's offense. SF has a tremendous offensive line (and defensive line for that matter).
The Falcon's have too many weapons to name and I always like the home field dog getting points.
However, I am leaning Niners, but it would be a small play indeed.

Since 1978
The Falcons are the biggest home underdog as a #1 seed in ANY round of the playoffs.
And, they are the biggest home underdog in any conference title game EVER.
