The last time these 2 teams met in the playoffs last year it was very cold in Philly in January and the Falcons has trouble moving the ball and scoring just 10 points and only 195 passing yards. Now we get nice weather and the Falcons high powered offense.

Atlanta has a matchup advantage on the perimeter with their receiving corps against the Eagles secondary. With the Eagles missing Alshon Jeffery and dealing with health issues at quarterback, Atlanta will look to shine on Thursday night.
Matt Ryan says this is the best Falcons team he's been on, and they're in Year 2 in Steve Sarkisian's offense, and I look for ATL to come out strong.
