Packers vs. Falcons News
The Green Bay Packers made the difficult decision to fire head coach Mike McCarthy after the loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. McCarthy posted a 125-77-2 record during his 13 seasons at the helm in Green Bay, including one Super Bowl title. Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin will take over the job on an interim basis for the remainder of the season.
Atlanta got a pair of key veterans back into the lineup for week 13, but the team still suffered a loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Kicker Matt Bryant and Pro Bowl linebacker Deion Jones both returned to the team after missing some time with various injuries.
Packers vs. Falcons Predictions
This will likely be a very high scoring game with two of the top quarterbacks in the NFL on the field. Neither team has played well this season, but both the Falcons and Packers still have terrific offenses. It will be interesting to see how the Packers look with a new coach leading them, but they can’t look any worse. Look for Green Bay to get a home victory over the Falcons in this game. Bet Green Bay -6.0 over the Falcons in week 14.
