Comparing the Atlanta Falcons schedule to the rest of the NFC South
Looking at how the Atlanta Falcons schedule compares to the three other NFC South rivals' schedules.
NFC South schedule: Weeks 10-12
Falcons | Saints | Panthers | Buccaneers | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Week 10: | @ Cardinals | @ Vikings | @ Bears | vs. Titans |
Week 11: | BYE | BYE | vs. Cowboys | @ 49ers |
Week 12: | vs. Saints | @ Falcons | @Titans | @ Colts |
This will be an important stretch for the Atlanta Falcons, even though they only play two games.
If the Falcons can take advantage of a weak Cardinals team and then exit the bye with a win over the Saints then they should be in good shape. I say that because the Saints play the Vikings, the Panthers play the Cowboys, and the Buccaneers play the 49ers—three teams that should be favored over the NFC South.
