2015-16: Who Will Win - Eagles @ Falcons

[MHSL82]

I am doing a poll series this year. I'll see how long I can keep it up, but no guarantees. Even if this seems obvious, please vote, for this and other polls, as I will compile winners somehow at some point. (No penalty for wrong choices, just no credit. (Those who vote most have best chance of winning, right? Reward is props, sorry I'm not offering more.) I would appreciate real voting and not troll voting, as I want to see what SportsHoopla record is on these predictions. Also, votes are public, so we know those who troll.

First up was Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots
Second was Baltimore Ravens at Denver Broncos.
Third was New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys.
Fourth was Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears.
Fifth was Detroit Lions @ San Diego Chargers.
Sixth was Seattle Seahawks @ St. Louis Rams
Seventh was Cincinnati Bengals @ Oakland Raiders
Eighth was Kansas City Chiefs @ Houston Texans
Ninth was New Orleans Saints @ Arizona Cardinals
Tenth is Minnesota Vikings @ San Francisco 49ers

Next is Philadelphia Eagles @ Atlanta Falcons, who wins? I'm not putting tie as an option, it's just not practical, though possible.

Voting ends right before kickoff. You CAN change your vote, but the poll is public and you can only view after voting. So make your best guess, if public favorite changes your mind, feel free to change.

I think the NFL did a good job at putting the favorites on the road; this year has been more difficult to predict than other years.

On paper this is not a good matchup for ATL...PHI has a very good front 7...ATL OL is still a work in progress so I can see Matt Ryan having a tough day if the running game is not generating 3+ yds...on that note...rookie Coleman will start monday might @ rb...and Freeman may see some snaps. Kid has splash play ability but I wonder about him being able to churn out tough yards....soooo often LY Matt was in shotgun with 2 or less yds for 1st...that's not Quinn's style interested to see how they play short yardage.

Of course the focal point of the Eagle is always Chip and his OFC...I have gone on record saying the Falcons DEF will be markedly improved...I think it shows early...Eagles will score, but I don't expect this to be a blowout.

Eagles is my pick 28-23...not sure about the ATL run game yet.
