Taking the FALCONS here. I know that Philly is the hot pick. They tore it up in pre-season crushing teams and cruising to victories. But this is the regular season. I will be honest. I do like Bradford. I think he fits Chip's offense very well. The fact of the matter is the guy gets hurt. Falcons defense won't confuse people thinking they are looking Ravens 2000, Bears 85 or the Steel Curtain or Doomsday Defenses of the 70s. But they can't be worse. New HC Quinn takes off and immediately drafted defensive help. Now, Matty Ice has Julio Jones. The Eagles couldn't slow down Dez Bryant last year. How are they slowing down this beast? OK, not really fair to compare like that. But I think the Iggles defense is average at best. What keeps me from making this a stronger play is that I do worry about the Atlanta OL. With Roddy White old, and injured, I really like Hankerson. He had some flashes in Washington. The ex Hurricane is a big target and think is primed for a good season. So the Eagles have Bradford and ex Cowboy Murray behind center. If anyone forgot, the Philly OL was not a strong point last season. I like Murray, but I think he takes a step back here. Not really surprising based on his big year. Ryan and old HC Smith amassed a 33-7 home record before things fell apart the last 2 years (6-10). The offense wasn't the problem. And it still isn't. The new defense gets a tough test here opening night, but I think we pull out a win here. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS
