Atlanta Falcons vs Cowboys: Week 10 staff predictions
By Randy Gurzi
The Atlanta Falcons will host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10, without running back Ezekiel Elliott, who is suspended. Again. Our staff tries to pick the winner.
Week 10 brings us an important NFC matchup as the Dallas Cowboys come to town to play the Atlanta Falcons. Recently, the Falcons found out one of the better players on the Cowboys is out, as running back Ezekiel Elliott was suspended officially for the next six games.
They can’t go into this thinking things will be easy though. As good as Elliott is, the leader of this team is Dak Prescott — the second year quarterback.
Can the Falcons put the clamp on him, and find a way to score big on offense against the suspect Cowboys’ defense? That’s exactly what our writers here at Blogging Dirty will try and answer.

Breakdown: The Atlanta Falcons received an early Christmas present this year, as Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will not play this Sunday (as a result of a league suspension).
This shouldn’t matter though. Because the Falcons need more than an early Christmas gift to fix their woes. Mental blockades, Super Bowl hangover, poor play calling, whatever you want to call it, Atlanta has a long list of issues.
No way the Falcons fix these issues by Sunday. But if they manage to pull out a victory, they could be on their way to building some much needed second half of the season momentum.
Here’s to the start of something good…
Prediction: Dallas 17, Atlanta 24
