The NFL playoffs begin today with The Bird playing in the very first game at 4:30 vs. The Dirty Bird of Atlanta. This should be a great, close game if both teams decide to show up and play up to their potential. AZ has stumbled down the stretch and represent the lowly NFC Worst division where they did not lose a game, finishing the season at 9-7. ATL is rolling in with a 11-5 record and looking strong with rookie QB Matt Ryan. Hopefully the Cardinals can get off to a great start and keep the momentum at home throughout the game. If the Falcons get an early lead it could be trouble for AZ, having suffered several blowout losses after falling behind early and never recovering. I expect both offenses will be able to move the ball well, so the outcome of the game should depend on which defense doesn't give up the most big plays.
Prediction: AZ d. ATL 31-28.
The final score was of course 30-24.

Not too shabby, eh? Wish I could parlay this into a winning lotto ticket though
