Our own writers are chiming in on Twitter this morning.  Joseph Vasquez makes a great point.

Julio Jones is still hurting.  He may need an in-game Cortisone shot to make it.  However Taylor Gabriel is the secret weapon.

New England has a great defense.  They can turn what looks like great drives into nothing for their opponent in a hurry.  However only six points?  I’m fairly certain the Falcons will have that before the end of the first quarter.

It is great to see the support for the Falcons.  It won’t be easy but their offense can get to you both in the air and on the ground.  The Cardinals found this out all too well back in November.
