Predict the Score Contest, Week 4 NE @ ATL

Falcons 27
Patriots 20

Pats 35
Atl 24

Atlanta's offense is a HUGE step up from anything the Pats D has seen so far this season and they are virtually impossible to beat at home. It's an NFC team and the Pats are 3-0. They have some house money to play with, so a loss here is not the end of the world.

Atlanta: 27

New England: 23

Pats 41-13 (you just watch, that score will be right on the money someday)

The Falcons under Mike Smith and Thomas Dimitroff rarely lose back to back games.The prediction that the Patriots beat the Falcons 41-13 in Atlanta is ludicrous.I know my team very well.We have several starters hurt.The game is on National TV.You are not playing the Bucs,Jets or Bills.The Falcons need the win to stay at least close to the Saints.If the Pats win it will be by no more than 3 points.That being said my prediction is Atl-27 NE-14..

haven t been right this year. pats win in a blow out.

Well, here goes... I'm enjoying my stay at the top for however long it lasts.

I was going back and forth. I think if there's any such thing as an "OK game to lose", it would be this one. Non-conference away game at a dome team that plays well there, while waiting for injuries to heal. I just can't see Atlanta going 1-3.

I will, of course, be very glad to give up the top spot and be wrong and have the Pats go 4-0. Hope that's the case. Nonetheless...
