NFL Week 11, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

18. Jones catches three touchdown passes
In what turned out to be one of the biggest surprises from last weekend, the Atlanta Falcons found a way to defeat the New Orleans Saints on the road to hand Sean Payton and company their first loss since all the way back in Week 2.
As crazy as it sounds, this win over the Saints may have saved Dan Quinn’s job since the Falcons head coach has been on the hot seat over the last month or so since Atlanta previously lost six games in a row.
Now, the question surrounding the Falcons becomes whether the team can keep the momentum going in Week 11 with another tough matchup within the NFC South against the Carolina Panthers.
Just like their meeting with New Orleans, a battle on the road in Carolina is going to be far from easy for Atlanta, especially with the Panthers coming off a tough loss last weekend against the Green Bay Packers.
If the Falcons are going to have any shot at pulling off a second impressive win on the road, Julio Jones will need one of those monster games, which is always a strong possibility.
Jones is one of the best in the league for a reason, and if the Panthers aren’t careful, the Atlanta star could make them pay for it.
