The Eagles had 2 weeks to prepare for this game and also playing at home. Their defense is very good.

I think they have enough to slow down the Falcons and Philadelphia's offense should do enough to grind out the win.

Zach Ertz is a natural leader, and has all the physical tools needed to be great here vs Atlanta. The Eagles have speed with their defense - especially with Brandon Graham on the outside - and excellent strength up front. Philadelphia will continue their hot defensive trend making them far too tough to beat here. They are very balanced and they can play any kind of game, they can pass or run the ball, and they have been really good with their pass coverage as of late.


Atlanta will never be consistently competitive until they find a steadier running game - Atlanta has only generated one 100 yard rusher over the last 14 games. Philly will be able to shut that down here, with their aggressive line play as well. Atlanta enters the game allowing opponents to pass at 66% percent. Which is the 27th ranked passing percentage in the league.


I'm taking the EAGLES with the points.
