2. Calvin Ridley Explodes In Week 3
Last week against the Cowboys, Ridley caught seven passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Back in Week 1, he caught nine passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns. Ridley has been the most productive wide receiver for the Falcons, even ahead of Julio Jones.
Ridley will show more of the same this week against the Bears. He will wreak havoc on the Chicago defense to the tune of 10 receptions for 120 yards and two more touchdowns. That kind of performance is exactly what the Falcons need, especially with Jones nursing some injury issues.
1. Atlanta Picks Up Their First Win Of The Season
Behind another big performance from the offense and a couple of huge plays from their defense, the Falcons are going to win this week. With the win, Atlanta will move to 1-2 on the season and will not allow themselves to fall too far out of the playoff picture.
We are predicting that the final score of this game will end up being 31-20. Chicago simply won’t have enough in them to win their third straight game to start the season and the Falcons will outplay them all game long.
