xWe’ve had a little over 24 hours to digest the 2023 Falcons schedule, and maybe the biggest surprise is just how straightforward it looks. No brutal multi-game stretches, no ill-timed bye week, and no Thursday night games to mess up everyone’s week.
With improvements and this simple schedule, are the Falcons ready to finally make some major noise in the NFC South, or even the larger NFC? We turned to our staff roundtable to deliver snap judgements on the schedule, and we’d love your thoughts in the comments.
A manageable slate for a rebuilt Falcons team
Easiest stretch: Week 5 through Week 10
Hardest stretch: Week 3 through Week 4
Game I’m most looking forward to: Week 1 against the Panthers
Snap prediction: 10-7
The more you look at this schedule, the more it looks like the perfect opportunity for this Falcons team to vault into the playoffs after a five year drought.
