The NFL Playoffs will feature a great matchup this weekend as the Green Bay Packers go to Atlanta to take on the Falcons

The Packers offense is firing on all cylinders, they all of a sudden have a running game with James Starks and Brandon Jackson, and Clay Matthews is the undeniable star of the Packers defense.

The Falcons are no pushover, though, with Matt Ryan behind center, Roddy White catching his passes and Michael Turner taking the ball out of the backfield.

The Falcons edged out the Packers earlier this season 20-17, but that hardly was a decisive victory.

The Packers now have a more dynamic offense, though, and the Falcons defense will have more to contend with.

Rodgers can spread out the Falcons defense though with Donald Driver and James Jones while the new threats of Starks and Jackson keep the rest of the Falcons defense honest.

The Falcons offense already is known to Green Bay, and there's very little the Falcons can pull out this weekend the Packers haven't seen before.
