1 Bold Prediction
Alrighty folks. We’ve come to the final slide.
At this point you’re either begging for this to stop or craving more Falcons knowledge. I truly hope for the latter.
This season has surprised me as a die-hard fan of the dirty birds. If you would have told me that at this point in the season they would have beat Denver, Oakland, Carolina AND Green Bay before the start of the year, I would have laughed in your face. Atlanta has already accomplished a great deal this season and have shown the improvement us fans have craved since the Dan Quinn era began. But there’s still at least 6 more games to be played, and crazier things have happened than a deep playoff run by the Falcons this season. (Im looking at you Donald Trump and the Chicago Cubs).
For my bold prediction for the remainder of the season, I see the Falcons winning the division and playing a home playoff game. Oh that’s not bold enough for you? Did I forget to mention that Mr. Matty Ice is going to be the NFL’s MVP? Because I believe he’s going to scorch the earth these last few weeks and take home that trophy that’s rightfully his.
Fandom aside, I just hope for a entertaining remainder of the season. Football is the best sport on earth (in my humble opinion) so let’s enjoy it while it lasts.
