The Atlanta Falcons are coming off of an impressive week six upset win over the 49ers. The road gets no easier for the Falcons in week seven as they travel to take on a hot Bengals team.

Winning a road game against the Bengals would firmly establish the Atlanta Falcons as wildcard and division contenders as we near the halfway point of the season. Wins against San Francisco and Cincinnati would be far too convincing to ignore an Atlanta team that has competed in every game they have played this season.

The Bengals are coming off an impressive win over the Saints. While the Bengals’ defense continued to struggle, Joe Burrow proved to be too much for New Orleans putting together two late clutch drives to put the game away and put the Bengals back into the playoff conversation after a rough start to the year.

While the Falcons deserve to be road underdogs in this tough matchup there are reasons to believe Arthur Smith can put together a great gameplan that will give the Falcons a great chance to pull off their second straight upset starting with the Atlanta rushing attack.
