Seahawks @ Falcons

Russell Wilson is the last rookie starting QB left in the playoffs after eliminating the Redskins last week in Washington. Now, Wilson already has more playoff victories than Matt Ryan has in his career. The Falcons just can't seem to figure out how to get it done at home. I think this is the best chance that they have had yet to win a playoff game. The problem is, the Seahawks are on a roll and have the best defends in terms of points allowed per game in the NFL. They won on the road last week after trailing by 14 in the 1st quarter and could shock he world again.

Winner: Seahawks

Packers @ 49ers

The Packers got their revenge on the Vikings after they played and were kept from a bye week by Minnesota. The Packers also kept Adrian Peterson under 100 yards for he first time of their three matches. The 49ers were the beneficiaries of the Packers missing the bye and got an off week last week. Colin Kaepernick will make hos playoff debut and this is the time where we will see if Jim Harbaugh made the correct decision on benching Alex Smith. It is incredibly hard to win in Candlestick Park and the 49ers have talent at every position but the Packers are a "been there, done that" team.

Winner: Packers

NFC
