NFL Week 10, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider
By Dan Parzych
10. Thomas catches three touchdown passes in first half
After enjoying the bye week following a win over the Arizona Cardinals, the New Orleans Saints will see another favorable matchup with the Atlanta Falcons coming to town.
Back at the beginning of the season, this NFC South battle seemed like it would be one of the best contests from Week 10, but unfortunately the Falcons have been one of the biggest disappointments from 2019.
With all of the talent Dan Quinn has to work with on both sides of the football, Atlanta seemed like the perfect candidate to become a playoff contender in the NFC once again.
Instead, the Falcons have one win to their name at the moment and could be on the wrong end of a blowout on Sunday since the Saints are a far better team.
Atlanta will face numerous difficult challenges in this one, but keeping Michael Thomas in check could be nearly impossible with the way he’s been heating up as of late.
Thomas has always found ways to make a case for being a top wideout in the league, and the fact that he has received double-digit targets in six games to date shows how involved the wideout is each game.
So while three touchdown catches in a single half sounds insane to consider, it’s certainly possible with a player like Thomas.
