In their first game in over 13 years without Mike McCarthy

http://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Jace-Sternberger-Jersey , the Green Bay Packers take the field against the Atlanta Falcons. Dave Choate of The Falcoholic was kind enough to answer some of our questions about the Falcons and provide some insight into their strengths and weaknesses.APC: The Falcons have fielded one of the worst defenses in the league, ranking near the bottom in DVOA against both the pass and run. Have the team’s defensive issues stemmed merely from their myriad injuries (Deion Jones, Keanu Neal, Ricardo Allen, etc.), or have other issues come into play?We’d like to thank Dave and The Falcoholic for his insight. Be sure to check out our Q&A session over there Dexter Williams Jersey , as well as their fantastic coverage of all things Falcons. As always, keep your internet machines tuned to Acme Packing Company this Sunday for our comprehensive game-day coverage of Falcons versus Packers. Vegas likes the Green Bay Packers to win this week. The Green and Gold host the Atlanta Falcons in the first game since Mark Murphy fired head coach Mike McCarthy. Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin is now in charge for the final four weeks of the season, and if you know what kind of team the Packers will field on Sunday, please tell us.Despite a five-point spread in Green Bay’s favor, we at Acme Packing Company don’t know what to expect from the Packers this week. Maybe McCarthy’s firing will turn out to be the galvanizing moment that Aaron Rodgers has been searching for. Could it stir up some emotion and urgency among the players and lead to a victory? Alternately, fans may just as easily be treated to more of the same from the Packers. Will the offense continue to hit on a handful of big plays while failing to convert on third downs? Will the defense keep giving up big plays of their own as they try to force opponents into difficult down-and-distance situations? The Falcons certainly have a talented receiving corps that could make it a long afternoon for the Packers’ banged-up secondary Elgton Jenkins Jersey , so Mike Pettine will have his work cut out for him.In this week’s picks, we see APC’s writers pretty split on the result of the game. We still favor the Packers by a 8-5 margin, but the fact that there are that many votes for the Falcons shows a lingering doubt over this team after it lost to the hapless Cardinals last Sunday.Here are our picks for week 14.Week 14 PicksGameTexJasonPeterKrisBobJon MJordanMatubMikePaulShawnWendiZachAPC PickGameTexJasonPeterKrisBobJon MJordanMatubMikePaulShawnWendiZachAPC Pick
