The Atlanta Falcons have their work cut out for them if they want to advance past the regular season

It is pretty well known by now that the Atlanta Falcons have one of the tougher schedules in the league, which is unfortunate because they are predicted to be one of the worst teams in the league this year.

They will have to play numerous teams that made the postseason last year, including both of the Super Bowl LVI representatives.

We know the players this team has lost over the past year or so — Julio Jones, Matt Ryan, Foye Oluokun, Russell Gage, and even Calvin Ridley for all intents and purposes — but they have also added a lot of young talent.

Having this difficult schedule might be good for them. Their chances of making the Super Bowl are next to nothing, so why not give them the toughest challenge possible?

This season will be a test for them that will also help them grow and develop. While Arthur Smith might not agree, this in all likelihood will be a developmental year for this team.

After all, the better their opponent, the better they will become.

So, let’s take a look at which games will be the easiest and which will be the hardest, and keep in mind they play 14 different teams because obviously, they play each NFC South rival twice.
