Falcons vs. Eagles NFL Week 2 Score Prediction (Can the Falcons Score on Monday?)

Monday Night Football features an interesting NFC duel between the Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Both teams are projected to make the playoffs this season, but only Philly was able to secure a win in Week 1.

Atlanta looked awful, scoring just 10 points in their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but played well defensively, allowing just six field goals and not a single touchdown last Sunday.

Can Atlanta stop a Philly offense that scored over 30 points against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil?

It won't be easy.

In this article, I'll use the odds and analysis to predict the final score for this Monday primetime clash. Let's dive in!

SI Betting's NFL betting insider Iain MacMillan has a interesting view on this game from his column Road to 272 bets:

The Falcons didn't use any of their starters in the preseason, and it looked like they weren't in Week 1 against the Steelers. While they were one of the weakest offenses in Week 1, I expect them to only improve as the weeks go by.

The good news in Atlanta is that their defense looked strong, keeping the Steelers out of the end zone and allowing just 4.1 yards per carry.

Speaking of defense, not enough people talk about how bad the Eagles looked on that side of the ball, allowing the Packers an incredible 7.1 yards per play. Although Philadelphia got the win, there were plenty of warning signs of their own.

It's an ugly bet, but I'll do my best not to overreact to Atlanta's Week 1 performance and take them with the points in Week 2.

I can't argue that it's an ugly bet, especially considering how bad Kirk Cousins ​​looked in his Falcons debut.

However, Philly is without TJ Watt and their defense didn't look nearly as good as Pittsburgh's in Week 1.

I expect the game to be closer, but for that to happen the Falcons will have to score more points.

Final score prediction: Eagles 26, Falcons 20
