The two games that the Falcons have lost this season have been against teams with prolific passing attacks, and both have been on the road.
They lost to the Pats 10-26 (-16), and they lost to Dallas 21-37 (-16).
The Falcons secondary is marginal at best, and losing the only solid corner they had (Brian Williams) for the season, hurts even more... Factor in a weak pass rush (Abraham has been ineffective), and you see what happens when the Falcons have to defend a prolific passing attack.
Playing in our house on Monday night against this Saints team, I expect another 40 burger against the Falcons. Last years' games were both close, but a Saints team with no secondary and no running game contributed to a close Saints win the Dome... Not this year.
Yea, I get it that rivals play each other closer, but not this week. The Falcons are simply over matched and have been "inconsistent." It will show Monday night again.
Saints by at least 14.
