Falcons vs. Bengals 

The Atlanta Falcons are coming off of a huge opening game win over the New Orleans Saints and are riding high.  Quarterback Matt Ryan is looking great and the Falcons looked improved over last season.  But the Bengals have a much better defense than the Saints do and that will impact the Falcons offense.

The Falcons will move the ball and put up some points but I don’t think it will be enough.  The Bengals are good on offense themselves with A.J. Green and Andy Dalton and they’ll be at home and will win this game.       NFL Picks
