Atlanta Falcons: Three easiest games in 2016

What are the Atlanta Falcons’ easiest games in the 2016 season?

Make no mistake, the Atlanta Falcons’ 2016 schedule is daunting. Gone are the days where they get to play the Tennessee Titans, New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars. Oh no, next season Dan Quinn’s team must take on the likes of the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers.

While we’re yet to find out the order in which they play these teams – hopefully the last three names won’t be in a row – we can look ahead at which games look to be the most favorable for the Falcons.

To finish 11-5, the Falcons have to lose five games. The five they may lose could be on the list of toughest matchups I wrote earlier this week. But that also means they will win 11. Somehow, someway, they must win 11.

It’s too early to know with any uncertainty which teams will be strong in 2016. With an entire offseason ahead of us, we don’t know which breakout team will emerge. The Panthers were that team in 2015. Despite that, we can take our best guess. Here’s the three easiest games for the Falcons in what is set to be a challenging schedule of games in 2016.
