Things have been a little quiet this week up at Flowery Branch.
Falcons played terrible against a desperate Saints...terrible as in protecting the ball...I'm sure ball security and ST punt team has been a point of emphasis this week.
Still...5-1 is in a good spot.
Titans...another desperate home team.
The rookie Mariota got a sprained MCL last week which should knock him out of this game in favor of Mettenberger I would think.
I've only seen 1 Titans game...on paper they are pretty good on DEF...the OFC is not terrible either, but they are getting sacked a lot and have a few more turnovers than you want...nullifying 7 takeaways.
ATL OFC...keep doing what you are doing, but hang on to the ball. Freeman has turned into a stud RB, but Coleman is anxious to make amends for his fumble so I look for him to do well with his touches this week. With Tamme now back in there, Matt has a trusted outlet in the middle of the field...I expect them to score 3 TDs in this one.
ATL DEF...Mett is easier to get on the ground than Mariota, but imo he's the more dangerous passer. I think Quinn needs to bring more heat in this game.
ATL has more pieces on both sides of the ball...they are a little peeved about the Saints loss and I expect them to control this game and win.
Call it 26-18 Falcons.
