ITI: What’s your prediction for how this one plays out?

Benedict: Under Matt Ryan, Atlanta has now started the season with an 0-1 record six times, but they’ve also gone 5-0 in Week 2 in each of the five previous times that’s happened. I expect that trend to continue, and I expect for the Falcons to pull one out here in the second week of the NFL season.

This franchise has one of the most talented rosters in the NFL and once they settled down against the Vikings, they looked good. That carries over into this game, and Atlanta wins this one by a score of 37-27.
