So because we're predicting a win we're homers and aren't looking at things objectively?
I give the Falcons their dues. I acknowledge Ryan as avery good QB, specially at home. I acknowledge their OL, Roddy White, Turner and Gonzo.
But from what I've seen, they're not as good a team as we are. In games that Turner has been contained, they've struggled mightly to win:
ATL 9 @ PIT 15: Turner: 19 carries for 42 yards
SF 14 @ ATL 16: Turner: 16 carries for 50 yards
ATL 17 @ PHI 31: Turner: 15 carries for 45 yards
BAL 21 @ ATL 26: Turner: 17 carries for 39 yards
And even some games where Turner has been good, they've struggled, against Cincy (39 to 32 at home), TB (27 to 21 at home).
Just because I see us as the better team, even at their home, doesn't mean I'm being a homer and am not acknowledging their talent. But I see us as the more talented, better performing team. Specially on D.
We have allowed just 13 TDs ALL YEAR. 9 passing and 4 running. That's league low by far.
And on O, we all know what this O is capable of.
So, do I expect an easy win? By no means. But do I see us winning? Absolutely. After all they've been through, and the way they've been performing, and not just against scrubs, against the rested, 5-1 Jets at their home, where we had never win, I just trust in them.
