    Atlanta under 6.5 wins this year??
    Would welcome any & all feedback on this one, folks. Is this just too "easy" or "obvious" somehow? Could they possibly win 7 games despite having a second-rate QB (Joey Harrington), with virtually no backup QB? Might the team somehow pull together, just to show that they are more than "just Vick"? Here is their schedule:

    With Joey Harrington QB'ing for the Falcons this year, it should go under that total with ease IMO.

      He won 6 games last year with about the same type of talent and schedule strength, I would think it wins more than 50% but could easily lose though. I will be on them week 1 for sure.

        I rated Vick and Harrington about equal as QB's last year. Both at the bottom of the list.

        It does seem like a tough schedule, but I think with their running game, there's a chance Harrington could be a bit more successful.

        I don't see them winning more than 8 games under any circumstance though, so under 6.5 might have some value.

          vick is a top 10 QB, the running of the backs will be hurt a lot, some people do not understand how much pressure he puts on the defense just handing the ball off because they have to worry about the bootleg.

            if Vick is a top 10 qb, which I think he is, then there is no way Atl will win games without him. Under is the play here.

              The backfield with Norwood, will be great. Take the over easily. I see 5 wins easily by week 10.
