Joe D'Amico's NFL Game of the Year

San Francisco vs. Atlanta, 01/20/2013 15:00 EDT, Score: 28 - 24

Point Spread: -4/-101 San Francisco

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Push

Sunday's winner is San Francisco over Atlanta. This is my NFL Game of the Year.

Colin Kaepernick rushed for 181 yards against Green bay and threw for 2 more TDs. Atlanta may be without their best pass-rusher in John Abraham. Even Frank Gore ran for over 100 yards LW. The Falcons "D" was shaky all season long versus the run, allowing 4.8 YPC. As a whole, Atlanta played one of the League's easiest schedules, winning 13 games vs. teams with a .422 winning percentage. Atlanta can't run the ball well. That leaves the game in the hands of Matt Ryan who must face a ferocious defense that yielded 17.1 PPG this season. Take San Francisco. Thank you.
