Free Pick for the NFC Championship game

Two teams that have not lost in quite a while will square off in this season's NFC Championship this Sunday afternoon when the 12-6 Green Bay Packers head into the Georgia Dome to play the 12-5 Atlanta Falcons. VietBet has Atlanta favored by five points in the 3:05 p.m. (ET) start on FOX and the betting line for the total has been set at 60.

Green Bay's current straight-up winning streak reached eight games with Sunday's last-second 34-31 victory against Dallas in the Divisional Round as a five-point road underdog. The total went OVER VietBet's closing 52.5-point line in that game and it has gone OVER in the Packers' last six contests. They come into Sunday's showdown with a 4-1 record ATS when closing as underdogs this year.

This team's current success can be directly tied to the elevated play of veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Even with his top receiver Jordy Nelson sidelined with a rib injury, he was still able to throw for 356 yards and two touchdowns against the Cowboys. The week before in Green Bay's lopsided 38-13 win at home against the New York Giants in the Wild Card Round, Rodgers ended the game with 362 passing yards and four scoring strikes.

The betting line has risen at many sportsbooks since the opening odds were posted, and the current NFL football betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated Vietbet has the Falcons as a five point favorites.

Green Bay Packers (+5) -110
Atlanta Falcons       (-5) -110

Over 60 points (-110)
Under 60 points (-110)

The Falcons clinched the second seed in the NFC with a SU four-game winning streak to close out the regular season while going 3-1 ATS. They extended this streak to five games with Saturday's convincing 36-20 victory at home against Seattle as 6.5-point favorites with VietBet. The total went OVER 51 points in that game and it has gone OVER in 15 of Atlanta's 17 games this season.

Another veteran gunslinger that deserves a great deal of the credit for his team's success all season long is Atlanta's Matt Ryan. He was second in the NFL in total passing yards (4,944) and passing touchdowns (38) in the regular season and this past Saturday he added 338 yards and three touchdowns to those gaudy totals. Ryan completed 26-of-37 attempts to eight different players against one of the best defenses in the league. This Sunday, he will face a Green Bay defense that was ranked 31th against the pass in the regular season.

This matchup has "instant classic" written all over it and it is actually a shame that one of these two teams has to lose. While I am not sure of that outcome, I do have a high level of confidence that the total is still going OVER the inflated 60-point line posted at VietBet.
