didn’t blow us away with their performance against the Carolina Panthers (+3.5) in Week 1, yet they still earned a 24-10 victory. That’s a heartening sign for a more talented team set to make some noise in the NFC, especially because the Falcons hadn’t been 1-0 in years.
They won’t have a ton of time to work on the kinks in their gameplan before the Green Bay Packers (-2)
come to town. Led by a solid day from new quarterback Jordan Love and a very effective day from the defense, the Packers handled the Bears handily and will present a real challenge for the Falcons in Mercedes-Benz Stadium Sunday.
