New England at Atlanta
Time: 8:30 PM (ET) | Sunday
Network: NBC
Matt Ryan having a higher completion percentage, more touchdowns and even more yards than Tom Brady would seem blasphemous two years ago, but New England has suffered the fate of having a young receiving core that has little to no chemistry with their QB. Sunday’s nightcap will feature the New England Patriots heading to the Georgia Dome and playing the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons are the favorite to win the game, which they’re to keep up with the New Orleans Saints in a battle for the AFC South race.
With the Patriots receiving core lacking, we’re still expecting this to be a close game, given past history of Tom Brady never losing the Atlanta Falcons (1 of 8 teams). While the Falcons are dealing with major injuries, Matt Ryan at home is white-hot winning 34 of 35 starts at home, which we expect them to win in a potential close outing.
