11-5. I'm bullish on this team. Offense should be very good as usual and I expect a big defensive improvement. Schedule sets up for a possible run down the stretch to get hot at the right time.

Another prediction: This will be the final season in Atlanta for Sanu, Beasley, Freeman, and Campbell. Sanu and Campbell will be too expensive to keep and Freeman's injury history will catch up. Beasley will either price himself out of Atlanta or (more likely) will be bad enough for the Falcons to not want to extend him.

Takk has a big season. Davidson proves to be an invaluable run stopper. Jarrett, Clayborn, Bailey, and Crawford provide the pass rush that Beasley is supposed to.

I'm keeping mum on this team, because unlike college football--the margin for error is razor thin, and a few injuries/bounces can be the difference between playing in February, and being done after Week 17.

With that said: This Falcons roster is hands down the best roster we've ever had. It's not close. The talent is absolutely there in spades. The Wide Receiver core alone looks like the 1999 Rams. If our offensive line can do the job, I legit see us blowing pass the 2016 offense.

Again, it will be about execution, winning the turnover margin, and hopefully limiting injuries.
