Week 15 – at Atlanta Falcons

Another tough road game.  You never know what Falcons team you are going to get.  Will it be the 2015 version or the version we’ve seen make the playoffs the last two seasons?

Of course it is in another city the Cardinals rarely play well in.  In fact the Cardinals have lost eight straight in Atlanta, all in the former home of the Falcons at the Georgia Dome.  Now they play in their new home Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The Cardinals have played here once before and won, but that was just preseason 2017.  Both teams will be making postseason pushes here.

With the season on the line, the Cardinals could show what they are made of here.  As I keep saying, if they are healthy, there is no reason they can’t win on any given Sunday…in most places.

The benefit here is the game is inside so no worry about weather.  It is the last of four early window games for the Cardinals though.
