The Falcons have a potent offense, but their defense is terrible. The Lions are a more complete team and they’ve won two of their past three games – both on the road. Besides, coach Matt Patricia knows a thing or two about beating the Falcons. And this time, he won’t need a 28-3 comeback to do it. Pick: Lions 34, Falcons 28
