In non-conference action, the Atlanta Falcons Journey to face the Indianapolis Colts.
Who ends up with a winning record that this Sunday afternoon?
Atlanta had their gut check of this season when after controlling the first 37 minutes of this contest, they needed to come from behind against Philadelphia at home. After trailing in the stanza and dropping a third quarter lead, the Falcons implemented a brief pass to Julio Jones for a touchdown of 64 metres from Matt Ryan.
After doing next to nothing in 14, that was an important success for Atlanta. With Drew Brees outside for several weeks, the team of trainer Dan Quinn has the opportunity to emerge as a true element in the NFC South.
Shed no tears after Andrew Luck for Indianapolis walked away. Even the Colts pushed against the Los Angeles Chargers before falling and engineered a comeback of their own at Tennessee into square their own record.
The NFL chances have Indy preferred by 1.5 points, how is they make it appear up?
The Indianapolis offensive line is the best in football and they are multi-skilled. They open chasms for running back Marlon Mack, which explains why they’re already No. 2 in the league in rushing and also their pass-blocking abilities as a team is as great if not better than some other assortment of the top music performer’s bodyguards.
Jacoby Brissett is not Mr. Luck, but he is not Blaine Gabbert both and will be settling in as the No.1 man in coach Frank Reich’s offense. Reich has shown an aptitude to understanding the crime and having played with quarterback at this level, he understands the value of fitting of his players’ strengths to a cohesive unit.
Indianapolis is not a shutdown defensive device, but they force the chains to move constantly and try and take advantage of mistakes that lead to 3rd and induce or long punts.
The most crucial factors about Atlanta coming into the season were will the offensive line be improved and could more plays be made by the defense with?
The first part of the question is a resounding”No,” with the Falcons averaging a mere 65 yards a game on the floor. Trailing 28-0 at Minnesotathey had to abandon the streak (17 carries), however there was no reason for this to be the situation when directing the Eagles in the second half and again finishing with only 17 rushes.
Quinn’s fast but light defense was pushed by the Vikings, but they did a better job versus the Eagles.
To be able to knock Indy, more balance is required on crime and holding up against the Colts’ physical running game will be a necessity.
In their home , we are siding with the Colts for NFL selections.
I cannot find out how Atlanta ceases the Indianapolis floor game for 3 quarters. And if they attempt to run up an eighth and shake the box together using seven players, Reich use ends Jack Doyle or Eric Ebron on seam routes that are heavy and will run play activity.
You need to respect Matt Ryan and his bevy of receivers, but with no running sport, DC Matt Eberflus could dial up blitzes to flush Ryan or just sack him.
With the Falcons only 3-9 ATS after a”W” and Indy 20-8 ATS at home off an upset win as a road underdog, snap up the house team.
