Atlanta Falcons bold predictions for a Week 11 matchup against the Saints.

After a brutal winless streak to start the 2020 NFL season, the Atlanta Falcons have been rolling as of late. Atlanta kicked off the new year by going 0-5 overall but have since bounced back to win three of its last four contests and have won two straight going into a new week in Week 11.

On Sunday afternoon on the road, however, the Falcons will have a tough matchup against one of the frontrunners in the NFC South division when they travel to face the New Orleans Saints for the first time this season in New Orleans.

Atlanta comes into the matchup off of a bye week in Week 10 and with a record of 3-6 overall, sitting in third place in the NFC South behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-3) and Saints (7-2) at the top of the division.

The Falcons are coming off of another win in Week 9 when they took down the Denver Broncos 34-27 to win their second straight game and the third game of the regular season.

In that game, Atlanta jumped out to an early lead in the game and held off Denver in the final quarter to pull out the win at home. The Falcons outscored the Broncos 27-6 in the first three quarters and was outscored 21-7 in the fourth quarter although they were able to escape with a seven-point victory.

On the other side of the field, New Orleans is coming off of a 27-13 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10, the sixth-straight win for the Saints going into Week 11. In the game, New Orleans overpowered San Francisco for a majority of the game to remain in the win column yet again in the 2020 campaign.

Before the Falcons and Saints battle it out in a NFC South matchup on Sunday afternoon in New Orleans, here are three bold predictions that will take place for Atlanta in the contest.
