1. They are playing the team with the best record in the NFC. You can talk all you want about talent and that's fine, the Falcons don't have the best record in the NFC for nothing. There's a reason for that. There's also a reason that Matt Ryan is 20-2 at home. It's not by chance.
2. They are playing AT Atlanta, where Atlanta has been dominant.
3. Nobody seems to be giving Atlanta any respect. They are going to come out with something to prove. This is very dangerous considering they are very good and playing at home already.
4. Atlanta is coming off a bye and is well rested.
