11 BOLD predictions for the final 8 Atlanta Falcons games
9. Two Atlanta Falcons make an All-Rookie team
Both Kendall Sheffield and Kaleb McGary have played exceptionally well for the Falcons. I think both have an even bigger impact in the final eight games and people around the league will start to pay attention to what some of the younger guys on this Atlanta roster are doing.
10. Three Atlanta Falcons make the initial pro-bowl roster
By initial roster, we mean first selection, not an alternate after 50 guys drop out of the game, because the game is meaningless and stupid.
Julio Jones, Austin Hooper, and Grady Jarrett will be initial selections for the 2019 Pro Bowl. (Played in 2020) With the number of players that drop out of this game every year, there will more than likely be more than three Falcons in the game.
Next. Time for the Atlanta Falcons to don the throwback. dark
11. Thanksgiving Intrusion
The Falcons will play the Saints Thanksgiving night here in Atlanta. While I believe the Falcons have a chance to win that home game, the atmosphere will not feel like a home game.
New Orleans Saints fans will travel by huge caravan and will overtake Mercedes Benz stadium that night and take away any home-field feel the Falcons were hoping to have. They will be playing for a bye in the NFC playoffs and that game will be huge for them.
