The Atlanta Falcons will be looking to upset the defending champions

There have certainly been easier opponents for the Atlanta Falcons than their upcoming opponent. They will be attempting to take down the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams on the road.

If there is one positive it is that the Rams looked bad in their season opener against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills are certainly a lot better than the Falcons so do not expect Atlanta to take down the Rams by 20+ points but the Falcons have a better shot at winning than most people would think.

There are areas for the Falcons to take advantage of since the Rams have some unfortunate injuries, especially on their offensive line that already struggled in week one.

Pair that with a certain superstar struggling on defense, and the Falcons could potentially expose Los Angeles if they can execute at a high level.

Again, many people won’t give the Atlanta Falcons much of a chance in week two but if they can play like they did for most of their first game, the Rams might be in trouble, especially if these bold predictions end up coming to fruition for the Dirty Birds.
