Prediction
Atlanta Falcons UNDER 8.5 (-115) Season Wins
The
key to the success of the 2015-16 will rely on the defensive side for
the Atlanta Falcons. They have made transactions in hopes to secure the
defensive adjustments, but in my opinion, I don't think they have. I
believe this will be the third year in a row that the Falcons find
themselves outside the playoffs. Their running backs have shown glimpses
of being very good but are way too inconsistent. Ryan does pretty good
but this team needs more than a QB that can throw for over 250yds per
game. This division, in general, does not look to be a strong division
but my projections have this division being a battle between the
Carolina Panthers and the New Orleans Saints. I project the Falcons to
have 8 or less wins this season as my algorithm projects a 7 win season.
