The question is, where will it come from?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Which game do you think the Falcons are most capable of coming out on top in?<\/p>\n<p>Are you feeling confident in the Falcons?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL.
