The Falcons have some challenging games on their schedule, but thankfully this season looks easier on paper than 2016.

The NFL released the Atlanta Falcons’ full schedule last night, giving fans access to every matchup for the 2017 season.

Recipients of the league’s toughest schedule last season, Atlanta was thankfully spared that daunting order for a consecutive year, but 2017 is still far from a cakewalk.

With Green Bay at home, a visit to Foxborough to take on the Patriots in a Super Bowl rematch, clashes against Dallas, Seattle, and with the NFL cramming the homestretch with matchups against the improving NFC South, the Falcons have a tough-but-manageable docket of games this season.

Let’s take a look at each in-depth, and make some bold preseason predictions.
