1. Falcons get second win of the year

The final prediction that will take place is that Atlanta will be able to continue its winning ways and finally get the first win at home of the 2020 regular season.

After starting the year off with five straight losses, the Falcons seem to now be playing more freely under a new interim head coach and players focused on proving themselves for a remainder of the year.

Atlanta now has that taste of victory in its mouth and that trend will remain following the Week 7 matchup against Detroit at Mercedez-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

The Falcons will end up being too much offensively for the Lions defense and Detriot’s offense won’t have enough firepower to match that during the game on Sunday afternoon.

With the win, Atlanta will improve to 2-5 overall on the season and will erase a winless mark at home in 2020 while moving to 1-3 on its home field.

Looking ahead after the Week 7 contest, the Falcons will have a chance to quickly get back at the Carolina Panthers, who beat Atlanta 23-16 in Week 5, during a Week 8 game on the road in Atlanta. The Falcons will then battle the Denver Broncos in Week 9 in Atlanta before taking part in a bye week in Week 10.
