The Falcons have not been good on the road this season.  The Giants have really turned it around and looked excellent on the road against Washington.  Now they get to come home and play against one of the worst defenses in the league.  The Falcons have allowed an average of 28.3 points per game and have also allowed an average of 430 total yards a game (including 276 passing yards per game).  This is great news for Eli Manning, Victor Cruz, and Larry Donnell.  The Falcons have been even worse against the run, allowing 154 rushing yards per game.  Expect the Giants to feed Rashad Jennings the ball after giving him a rest last week.  The Giants have been beatable in the air, so Matt Ryan will have to air it out this week on the road to beat the Giants.  Atlanta is averaging 322 yards in the air and the Falcons will need to move the chains by throwing the ball because the Giants have been tough against the run.  Nobody has really found a way to slow down Julio Jones, so it would be in the Falcons best interests to keep sending the ball in his direction.  This has the potential to be a very high scoring game and I expect a shoot out between Ryan and Manning with the G-Men ultimately coming out on top.  The Giants are just playing better football right now, but it wouldn’t shock me if the Falcons pulled off the upset.

GIANTS 31 - FALCONS 24

FANTASY BEAST - RASHAD JENNINGS ( I wanted to pick Julio, but I feel that’s almost too easy)
