Chicago Bears
One of the biggest surprises in the NFC to start the season has been the Bears. After mounting a major comeback in Week 1 to beat the Detroit Lions, the Bears took care of business in Week 2 with a hard-fought 17-13 win over the New York Giants.
Going up against the Falcons is no easy task. Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, and Todd Gurley are a four-headed monster offensively. However, the Falcons have a pretty bad defense and the Bears will take advantage of that.
If Khalil Mack and the defense can pressure Ryan and force a turnover or two, the Bears have to like their chances. Atlanta will be playing angry after an embarrassing fourth quarter collapse last week against the Dallas Cowboys.
This will be a fun game and will come down to the wire. But, the Bears will be able to make enough plays against the porous Falcons’ defense to get the win.
Final Score Prediction: Bears 30, Falcons 27
