Falcons @ Eagles (-1): Who you got/game thread

[Brandon_Cox]

Since this Pats fan in Atlanta has watched a lifetime of Falcons choking, I'll take Philly

 

[Hyped]

Falcons easily….

Just because we will have to be reminded that Foles only found lighting in a bottle ONCE....

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

I got the falcons in this one by 7-10 pts. Question is do I go Ryan against Philly or Ben on the road vs cleveland?

 

[jah]

It's gonna be Atlanta, unless they don't score as many points as Philly, in which case it'll be Philly. If neither scores more than the other team, it'll be a tie.

 

[Kontradiction]

I have the Falcons winning. They gave Philly a hard time in the playoffs and Foles’ injury/inconsistency has me thinking they will win this one.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

What's the impetus for everyone hitting the line hard on the Falcons? -1 now, wow. Is it because of Foles looking bad this preseason? Because I don't see groundbreaking changes on either team since last season, and at the end of last season you'd probably have the Eagles at least -5 at home with Foles.

Falcons up early, then lose late. Same story.

 

[jboston19]

I think the Falcons take this one.

 

[signbabybrady]

Eagles win.

 

[Love The Drake]

Falcons by 10

It depends on which Nick Foles shows up. It he plays like he did in the Superbowl, Eagles. If he plays like the preseason, Falcons. And yes, I know the preseason means little in terms of real games. I'm going with Atlanta.

The stadium will be insane, so I think the Eagles take it. BUT, they are missing some key guys, their receiver depth is worse than ours (at this moment). And Foles has been horrible in the preseason. But I think the home field will play a lot into this. The fans and the players will be hyped up.

If this was the WWE, the Patriots would be the special referee.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Falcons. They will make foles look like a backup QB.

 

[TommyD4207]

The Eagles looked terrible in preseason, and not just against the Patriots.

I know it's not a 1 to 1 comparison, but they certainly looked like a Super Bowl Hangover candidate.

Atlanta had a dozen chances to win the game there last year, and tonight it won't be 20 degrees.

This game opened at Philly -2.5, and is down to -1. I expect Atlanta to open it up on offense and win by a score or so.

I don't know. I really don't see that happening.

 

[farn]

I think ATL wins. But, sometimes they have more talent than toughness. I wouldn’t be surprised to see PHI win on toughness alone.

 

[RobertWeathers]

A bird will win.

 

[The Brandon Five]

I like Atlanta in this game, but something about raising a banner seems to result in the home team winning the Kickoff game (except for last year, of course...and the Giants in 2012).

Falcons easily….

..and Eagles players, fans and all around Org suck ass.
