The Atlanta Falcons challenge the Dallas Cowboys today in the cozy confines of Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Who will triumph?
When I look at this matchup, I see a likely shootout in the making. The Cowboys appear set to be down multiple high-end starters on defense, setting up the Falcons to take full advantage with a relatively healthy offense. I also see a Falcons defense with injuries and a continued history of ineffective play against running backs and rushing the passer leading to plenty of opportunities for Dak Prescott and his talented pass catching corps. The good news is that Atlanta has played better this season than Dallas, and that the Cowboys ground game is one of the weaker ones the Falcons will face the rest of the way.
