my predictions btw. i think the falcons are overrated and will be exposed as frauds. i like that they have a power running attack but all i can think of is their 2 games against the saints (new orlean missed a 29 year field goal as time expired in the first one, saints won the second one) and the battles with the bucs. i'm convinced their top notch record is a result of 6 games against seattle, s.f., st. louis, arizona and 2 against carolina. i also think their power running attack would be well suited for cold weather games but the fact that they have home field advantage (in a dome) only evens the playing field instead of turning it into a major advantage. i pick the saints to come out of that side
on the other side, i'm picking pittsburge to come out. Strong D, power running game that's great in cold weather, QB that strives in chaos. What's not to like? !
