The Atlanta Falcons ended their 2017 season against the Philadelphia Eagles in a gutty defensive battle featuring virtually zero offense that ended in a loss. The Eagles, of course, went on to win the Super Bowl, and will get to host the Falcons on Thursday night in the very first game of the 2018 season.
Also predictably, the Eagles are favored, per CG Technology, which has them as four point favorites at the moment. They may or may not have Carson Wentz available for the first week of the season, and that means the Falcons may see Nick Foles (hopefully minus his playoff Flaccodust).
