Three teams that we wish were on the 2021 Atlanta Falcons schedule

The opponents for the 2021 Atlanta Falcons schedule have already been determined and it will be interesting to see how those matchups play out.

The Atlanta Falcons have released the opponents for the 2021 season and it looks like this:

  • Home Games– Eagles, Washington, Patriots, Jets, Lions, Saints, Panthers, Buccaneers
  • Away Games– Cowboys, Giants, Bills, Dolphins, 49ers, Saints, Panthers, Buccaneers

Though were are more than eight months away from the start of the season, that certainly looks like a manageable schedule.

Here’s a look at three teams we wish we could’ve seen on the Atlanta Falcons’ schedule.

3. Houston Texans

If you’re looking for a free win during 2021, it might very well be the Texans who’ll give it to you.

There are rumors swirling about QB Deshaun Watson wanting to request a trade and, honestly, it’s been an absolute train wreck in Houston as far as how they’ve handled the whole situation. That’s even worse than Atlanta.

If Watson is traded, you could be talking about the worst team in the league and that’s a free win on the schedule. You don’t give up free wins, especially if you’re Falcons who need every win they can possibly get.
