As the Philadelphia Eagles Seem to continue soaring against the Atlanta Falcons, it Is a battle of the birds to the Week 2 Sunday Nighter.
The Atlanta side of dan Quinn didn’t have the beginning they hoped for a week against Minnesota. Though 2019 was likely to become a bounceback year for the Falcons’ — it did not begin. Atlanta has been outplayed and the coaching seat of Dan Quinn stays thicker than ever before. At a standalone spot on primetime, the Falcons need to respond with a much better attempt, but it will not be easy against a gifted Eagles group.
Philadelphia enters Week two ready to grow once more after an 2018 effort. Carson Wentz eventually appears healthy again and last week the offense was clicking through the lowly Redskins. Philly seems poised and ready to make another run with an NFC title, while this week ought to be harder since they go into the street.
Pressure is mounting and with the Eagles rolling into town, it ought to make for an intriguing evening at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Read on below the posted chances for a few analysis, game preview, along with a pick to finish off on a high note.
Philadelphia Eagles -1 (-110)
@ Atlanta Falcons +1 (-110)
Over 52.5 (-110)
Beneath 52.5 (-110)
Given the way I talked about those teams in the opening section of this preview, you’d believe the Eagles will be favorites within this one. However a slim one-point on the disperse currently separates both of these teams, likely indicating what a moment that will be to get the Falcons in their season. Ultimately one which can’t manage to go, although they remain a team. Especially not at the competitive NFC South division.
But the Eagles won’t feel sorry for these, and despite being backed so intensely by the public in this contest. A week they seemed prolific on offense in the second half, and that Wentz-to-DeSean Jackson ball connection appeared to be in fine form. The Falcons struggle that is strange considering that was Dan Quinn’s forte. Atlanta does not boast any sort of viable dash and it is clear that past Desmond Trufant, there’s no one in the Falcons’ that should scare Wentz.
Anticipate Wentz to frighten at the Falcons through the atmosphere, frequently throwing everywhere Trufant isn’t. He has so many weapons at his disposal, and with his arm and mobility back the Eagles can name their play and move the chains. On the ground, the Falcons have a run defense and thus don’t be surprised to watch novice runner Miles Sanders have a big outing. The Eagles can’t be stopped by atlanta.
Shifting over to the crime of Atlanta, it was sad to find such a gifted quarterback like no protection is received by Matt Ryan last week against the Vikings. Every time that he stepped back to watch downfield, there were linemen barreling down on him. The Falcons’ offensive line is in poor shape right now, also it looks like some bits have taken a step back. For Atlanta, the Eagles have the ferocious pass rush into all of soccer.
1 silver lining for the Falcons is that the Eagles’ remains a weak spot to get the otherwise talented stop unit. They allow Washington throw them on but it was seen when the Falcons can adequately shield Ryan to put him up for downfield looks. Calvin Ridley and julio Jones might be great weapons in this game, but maybe not if the Falcons can’t pass because of pressure.
Anticipate Atlanta to emerge out starving and distressed, but finally they’ll just be overmatched by a complete effort from the Eagles. The Falcons can not block, hurry, or defend with any sort of consistency, and although it’s appearing like that could be one of the very’public’ performs this week — side with the ability of the Eagles to visit 2-0 on Sunday evening.
