NFL Week 12, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

10. Jones finds end zone three times
Where has this recent impressive play by the Atlanta Falcons been all season?
After losing six games in a row following a Week 2 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Falcons were considered a disaster by many and seemed like a strong candidate to move on from their head coach in Dan Quinn.
The verdict is still out over whether Quinn will be able to keep his job beyond the 2019 season, but at least the head coach feels a little safer at the moment with Atlanta coming off two big wins in a row over the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers.
All things considered, no one expected this to happen in a million years since both wins happened to come on the road, but maybe the Falcons have finally found some late-season magic to make things more interesting in the NFC playoff race.
Atlanta currently sitting at 3-7 shows what kind of obstacle this team faces the rest of the way, but at least a meeting at home with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday should result in a third win in a row for the Falcons.
Knowing Matt Ryan, this will be one of those games in which he takes advantage of a struggles Buccaneers’ defense by feeding Julio Jones the football as much as possible, and multiple trips into the end zone could very well happen for the duo.
