This is going to be a complete mess. Who knows who will win this one. I could see the Falcons blowing the Bears out 42-17 in this one. I could also see the Bears showing up and winning 27-23. Basically what I’m saying is that you probably shouldn’t bet on this one. These two teams match up very well against one another and have very similar attributes. The advantage goes to the Bears running game that features Matt Forte. If the Falcons can not stop Forte, they are in trouble.
And now let’s get into the Brandon Marshall conversation. Nobody on the Falcons can cover a healthy Brandon Marshall. But, he has been far from healthy lately and is not 100%. But who is 100% is Julio Jones. The Bears definitely have nobody that can stop him, so that at least justifies the three point spread. This has shoot out written all over it and the over can’t be high enough.
FALCONS 34 – BEARS 30
FANTASY BEAST – JULIO JONES
