I’m going to stick with my prediction from my Q & A with Freddie Boston, editor of BloggingDirty.com earlier in the week. Eagles will win a close one, 34-30 in the Georgia Dome. It’ll come down to a last-minute effort by the Falcons but ultimately Connor Barwin gets a clutch batted down pass on a fourth and long attempt to close out the game.
Sam Bradford will prove he’s back and better than ever, completing more than 70 percent of his pass attempts while throwing for 300+ yards and three touchdowns. It’ll be a primetime quarterback duel as Matt Ryan will have just as many touchdowns as Bradford but will throw a costly interception.
Final Score Prediction: Eagles 34, Falcons 30
Game MVP: Sam Bradford – 25/32 for 347 yards and 3 touchdowns
