Atlanta Falcons vs Philadelphia Eagles: Do the Falcons stand any chance in this game?

The Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons will face each other in Monday Night Football at Lincoln Financial Field.

 

The Falcons are off to a tough start

The Atlanta Falcons have a tough start of the 2024 season. They lost the home opener 18-10 to the Pittsburgh Steelers after failing to score in the second half and lost even though they did not allow any touchdowns. The Falcons QB Kirk Cousins had a poor performance in his first game for the new team after signing a four-year $180 million contract in the offseason.

 

The Eagles look like a real contender

The Philadelphia Eagles had a solid start of the season with a 34-29 win over the Green Bay Packers in a game that took place in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Saquon Barkley joined the Eagles after six seasons with the New York Giants and immediately made a huge impact on his new team. He scored three touchdowns for a total of 109 rushing yards. QB Jalen Hurts was 20 of 34 for 278 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Eagles.

Atlanta has played under he total point line in 5 of their last 6 games against teams from the NFC East and has gone over in 7 of their last 8 games played in Week 2.

 

Prediction and Conclusion

Kirk Cousins is already under pressure in his second game for the Falcons after having a disappointing debut for his new team. It will be really tough for him to deliver since he has ankle issues, and winning in Philadelphia is not something many teams have done in recent years. The addition of Saquon Barkley has proven to be the right move for the Eagles, and with him playing the way he does and Jalen Hurts leading the way, the Eagles will win this one by covering the -6-point spread.
