2. Falcons vs. Eagles

Over the last two seasons, the Philadelphia Eagles have been an absolute nightmare for the Atlanta Falcons to deal with.

After the Eagles knocked the Falcons out of the Divisional Round during the 2017 season, Philadelphia hosted Atlanta on opening night the following year, and managed to barely escape with a win.

So how will things play out on Sunday night when these two NFC teams get to meet again?

At least for the Falcons, this team will hopefully be able to take advantage of playing in front of their own fans instead of a hostile environment filled with rowdy Eagles fans.

If this is going to happen, Atlanta will need to figure out a way to get the football in the hands of Julio Jones as much as possible, especially if Philadelphia’s cornerbacks struggle like they did at times in Week 1 against the Washington Redskins.

Featuring this game in the Sunday night spot was a great decision by the NFL since both the Eagles and Falcons should be in the running for a playoff spot a few months from now.

Maybe if football fans are lucky, this game will come down to one of the final plays like it did last September when the Eagles held on.
