Prediction: Atlanta showed that they have a stout defense, and can still put up points with McCarthy taking snaps at QB in Week 1. While the Falcons took a loss last week, Penix Jr. looked comfortable behind center and throwing the ball down field for the dirty birds. I think the Falcons can pull this off. They have the better run game with Bijan Robinson toting the rock, so I think that proves the difference in the end. My pick: Take the points at +3.5 to be safe, or bet the Falcons to upset the Vikings on the road to make things more interesting.
