Week 1: Falcons vs. Seahawks
This is gonna be an interesting game to get this year rolling for both teams. Lowkey I could care less about what happens during this game I’m just excited for Mask Off to be blasting through Mercedes Benz for an hour pregame and Future to be an honorary captain. For context Future has a son by way of Russell Wilson’s wife. Falcons take a dub week 1.
Week 2: Falcons @ Cowboys
What an matchup we have here in week 2. Two of the most disappointing teams in recent history meet up in JerryWorld and wow I could not be more “meh” about a game. This game should be a ton of fun to watch in regards to the talent each team has on offense, BUT like I said these teams are both tragedies on the field. My gut says we lookin at a 13-7 Cowboys win. Falcons move to 1-1.
Week 3: Falcons vs. Da Bears
The good thing about the Bears is that Trubisky is their QB. The bad thing about the Falcons is that Ricardo Allen and Keanu Neal will probably be hurt for this game. Can’t wait for Mitch’s coming out party. That said, Falcons should win this one so long as Matt Ryan can have a little time to throw. Expect a 100 yards from Julio and Calvin this game with a Falcons dub. 2-1.
Week 4: Falcons @ Packers
The Falcons? In a primetime game? Unheard of. Seeing as how the Falcons should be at worst 2-1 going into this game and the entire world will be tuned in, seems like a win for the Packers. Aaron Rodgers to Devante Adams as the clock expires to win it for the Pack seems realistic. 2-2.
Week 5: Falcons vs. Panthers
I hate that Teddy Bridgewater landed in Charlotte. I really like Teddy, but I HATE the Panthers solely because of $cam Newton. I feel crazy saying this, but I could see the Falcons really putting it together this game. I feel like this could be the game Dirk Koetter can establish a solid run game with a great passing attack. This is one of those games that just screams importance in my opinion because it’s one that can define the season. For once in their existence I see the Falcons coming through and taking this one, if not it’s gonna be a long year. I choose to see the light here. 3-2.
Week 6: Falcons @ Vikings
The Dirty Birds fly north for this one to take on the mighty (lol) Minnesota Vikings. I see the Falcons loading the box and making Kirk Cousins beat them. Shouldn’t be that much of an issue. I expect the Falcons to ride the high off the divisional win from the week before and pull this one out. 4-2.
Week 7: Falcons vs. Lions
TRAP GAME. Matt Stafford homecoming game. Disaster written all over it. The only saving grace is that the players may have mutinied Matt Patricia by this one. Doubtful though. Lions win it and then lose out. 4-3.
Week 8: Falcons @ Panthers (TNF)
Falcons find themselves back in primetime in week 8. I foresee a color rush game here too. Falcons with the gradient red to black (yuck) and Panthers with the turquoise. Worst jerseys in the NFL. Might be a great game to watch in black and white. I see a close one this week but the Falcons squeak it out to sweep the Thers on the year. 5-3.
Week 9: Falcons vs. Broncos
JERRY JEUDY! This may be one game I don’t care if we win or lose. I love the Broncos. Drew Locke has “it” and Scary Jerry gonna do big things next year as a rookie. I’d like to see a shootout in this one. Give me Julio with 210 and 2 TD’s, Calvin with 127 and a score, and Jerry MF Jeudy with 184 and two tuddys. Todd Gurley III ices this one as the Falcons move to 6-3.
Week 10: BYE
Nothing to get up for on Sunday so it seems like a great day to black out watching the Tide play UT-Martin. Lit.
Week 11: Falcons @ Aints
There’s two games that matter on the Falcons’ schedule. @ the Aints and vs. the Aints. Too bad this game won’t be on Thanksgiving this year. I foresee a Matty Ice masterpiece where he outduels Drew Brees. Stat Predictions: Julio-7 catches, 137 yards; Michael Thomas-14 catches, 46 yards; Taysom Hill-gets in the game. Falcons move to 7-3 and 3-0 in the division.
Week 12: Falcons vs. Rrrrrrrrrrrrraiders
The Raiders stink. They stunk last year and they’ll stink until they move on from Derek Carr. The guy is not good. Falcons win big at home and send the black hole back to Vegas. It will be cool watching Ruggs and Josh Jacobs play tho. 8-3.
Week 13: Falcons vs. Aints
Riding a four game win streak I expect the Falcons to have a little bit of a letdown game here. That said, I see Drew Brees having to miss some time at some point next season and right about now seems like when it would be. That would mean *checks roster* Jameis Winston will lead the Aints into Mercedes Benz for this one. Falcons give up 500 yards through the air and Jaboo has 5 touchdown passes. Somehow, he magically couples that with 4 interceptions including a game losing pick 6. Deion Jones got one to walk off last season so why not another one here? 9-3.
Week 14: Falcons @ Chargers
Why is this game happening? Seems really unnecessary to be honest. Just wanna see the chargers jerseys forreal. Falcons should go all white for this one. Tyrod Taylor not beating the Dirty Birds. 10-3.
Week 15: Falcons vs. Bucccccs
The amount of 28-3 jokes coming from Bucs fans for this game will be unbearable. I can’t lie though, I’ve never seen Brady play live and I want to so badly. Gotta go see the GOAT. That said, I really don’t believe the hype surrounding the Bucs. They’ll be better than they were last year I guess, but I don’t think Brady really fits Bruce Arians’ system. Be interesting to see how it works out. I bet the Falcons choke this one away. 10-4.
Week 16: Falcons @ Chiefs
This game will be better than people expect. What should be two of the best offenses in the NFL next year square off in a defense optional type game I’m hoping. Fingers crossed that the Falcons don’t go to Arrowhead and get spanked. Chiefs win a close one in my opinion, we’ll see em again in February. 10-5.
Week 17: Falcons @ Bucs
The Falcons once again square off with the Bucs to end the season. I personally think the Falcons go down there and run away with this game. Too much firepower and for once the Falcons just get it done. 11-6 and 5-1 to win the division. Soup Bowl here we come.
