Atlanta Falcons vs New Orleans Saints
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Atlanta Falcons vs New Orleans Saints is a NFC South rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Atlanta Falcons at 70% to New Orleans Saints's 30%, spread ATL -3.
Tactically, Atlanta Falcons will want to lean on strong line to attack New Orleans Saints, whose aging core is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, New Orleans Saints's polished WR could punish Atlanta Falcons if pass rush goes unaddressed. It is the kind of trade-off decided in the margins: third down, the trenches, and the turnover battle.
Keep an eye on Michael Penix Jr. (QB) and Chris Olave (WR): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Falcons get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
