This week’s game is David vs Goliath, except David doesn’t have a slingshot. The biggest advantage the Atlanta Falcons have is that the game is Thursday night at home. The short week of preparation and not having to travel is the only thing the Falcons have going for them. The Patriots have won 4 in a row, averaging 37.5 points scored in those games. They are also 4-0 on the road this year. The Patriots have allowed an average of just 14.5 points on the road in those 4 wins.
