Pro Football Sunday Atlanta Falcons at Philadelphia Eagles (-9) (1:00PM ET) (FOX)
The Eagles Brian Westbrook told reporters that he wants to give it a go returning from broken ribs and a strained ankle. Also wide receiver Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown return from injury. The question is how effective will they be in their first games back? Curtis hasnt played all season and Brown only has seen action in 2 games. Both teams are coming off a bye so both defenses should be fresh. The Falcons really showed improvement in their 27-24 victory at Green Bay as Matt Ryan threw for 194 yards on 16 of 26 passing. Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood have ran the ball well for the Falcons and it will help keep them balanced against the Eagles who sometimes like to throw the kitchen sink at opposing QBs. Falcon head coach Mike Brown was a former defensive coordinator at Jacksonville and with that he has brought toughness to this team that will enable them to be competitive in a contest against an NFC East opponent. The balanced Falcon attack will surprise you here. Atlanta doesnt have to win they just have to be competitive and will cover the spread. Take Atlanta +9.
Selection: Atlanta +9
im going to this game… im the only one in my family rooting for the falcons… i think alls they need to do to win is to keep matt ryan protected… no more than 3 sacks at most…
If John Abraham have another great game, I think the Falcons have a great chance to win.
this is probally the best ive seen the falcons play in a while
I agree! The Falcons will cover the spread. Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood should help chew time off the clock.
The Falcons have a chance to win this game outright.
