Our writers and readers have pretty much predicted the Falcons to win in week 1 against the Eagles at home. While we love the optimism, the week 2 game is a dramatic shift in location and opponent. Atlanta gets their first division game early by facing the defending champion Buccaneers in Tampa Bay.
This is a tough assignment and all signs point to the Bucs having improved their roster since last year. Let’s take a look at how our writers think this one will play out.
Our predictions
Falcons 24 - Buccaneers 31
The Eagles are a team in rebuild mode while the Bucs are a team trying to maximize their championship window.
