Game-By-Game Prediction For the Falcons 2018 Season
Will the Falcons sweep the Bucs and finish their season on a high note?
After beating the Bucs in week six, most people will likely expect the Falcons to pull off the sweep here.
Even though this game is in Tampa, the Falcons have played well there in recent years.
I was at their Thursday night game in 2016, and the Falcons put up 43 points that night.
Different players have left both organizations since then, but I’m expecting a similar game from the Falcons offense in this game.
How the Falcons Win: Keep their foot on the gas.
One of the Falcons biggest issues is they take their foot off the gas.
We’ve seen it during the regular season, the playoffs, and the freaking Super Bowl!
If the team wants to start winning more games, they’ll need to stop giving their opponents a window to come back.
I’d expect the Falcons to enter this game with playoff seeding on the line, so they need to stay focused.
Even if it takes 40, 50 or 60 points, they need to make sure that they don’t let the Bucs steal a win here.
X-Factor of the Game: Playoff seeding.
If the Falcons are out of playoff contention, this game will be filled with backups.
On a more positive note, if they’ve already secured a top playoff seed, this game will be filled with backups.
It’s hard to predict records for every team in the league, but I’d expect this to be a game that could decide their division.
Obviously, if the Falcons can move up or avoid moving down, they’re going to play all the regulars.
Even though seeding isn’t an actual player in this game, it should definitely be considered a factor when predicting the score.
Predicted Score: Falcons win 38-22.
I think the Falcons win this game and end the season at 11-5.
Who knows what seed that would put them at, but I think they’d definitely make the playoffs.
What do you think the Falcons record will be this year? Let me know in the comments!
