The Atlanta Falcons are set to take on the Los Angeles Rams in the first round of the NFC Playoffs. Take a look at five bold predictions for the Dirty Birds.
The Atlanta Falcons are all set to take on the NFC West champions this weekend, the Los Angeles Rams. After sneaking into the postseason by beating the Carolina Panthers in Week 17, Matt Ryan and the Dirty Birds have a tough road-test against one of the more surprising NFL teams this season.
These two squads met on the west coast last year, with the Falcons coming away with a huge 42-14 victory. However, with a coaching change and some added pieces, the Rams are a completely different monster than what Atlanta saw back in 2016.
Heading into the weekend, Los Angeles has been the clear favorite from both Vegas and media personalities alike. Not to mention, with Rams running back, Todd Gurley, at the forefront of the 2017 NFL MVP conversation, I can’t say I blame them whatsoever. That means the Falcons will have to play one of their best games of the season to have the opportunity to defending their conference title for another week.
With that said, take a look at five bold predictions for the Dirty Birds in their match-up with the Rams this weekend.
