Division: NFC South
City: Atlanta, Georgia
Stadium: Mercedes-Benz Stadium
First Season: 1966
Head Coach: Dan Quinn
The Atlanta Falcons rode an unbelievably efficient offense to the cusp of a championship three seasons ago, but have not been able to find that magic since the departure of play-caller Kyle Shanahan. Atlanta still has a lot of impact pieces on offense but it is no longer seen as one of the main contenders in the NFC. The Falcons will need to either find that offensive groove again or make some strides defensively to make a deep playoff push in 2019. The same familiar stars are back as quarterback Matt Ryan and wide receiver Julio Jones lead the way.
Super Bowl Odds: +3700
Odds To WIn The NFC South: +385
Regular Season Win Total: 9
The Falcons finished last season with a record of just 7-9. They had a lot of injuries on defense which contributed to the down year and hope good health is in their corner this year. Ryan will once again lead the charge as he is one of the most talented quarterbacks in the NFL. He threw for 4,924 yards with 35 touchdowns and seven interceptions a year ago, as Atlanta finished 10th in the league in scoring.
Jones had 113 catches for 1,677 yards and eight touchdowns. Tevin Coleman led the team in rushing before departing this offseason for the 49ers. However, that shouldn’t be a big issue as Devonta Freeman is back to health after playing in only two games last season due to knee and groin injuries. The Falcons are at their best when they have a potent running game to go along with the aerial fireworks. Jones will be flanked by Calvin Ridley and Mohamed Sanu at receiver.
The Falcons beefed up their offensive line in the draft, adding guard Chris LIndstrom and tackle Kaleb McGary in the first round. If they can produce this year it would be a big help as Ryan has been under pressure too much at times in the past few years.
The defense has to be better this season and it hopes to get full seasons out of star linebacker Deion Jones and safety Keanu Neal, who both dealt with injuries a year ago. The edge rush was inconsistent a year ago and Vic Beasley and Takk McKinley need to lead the way there. Desmond Trufant is a top cornerback but the Falcons need to find others to step up, especially after the offseason release of veteran Robert Alford.
The Falcons are rolling out the same core as they have had the past several seasons, so it is understandable why the oddsmakers aren’t especially optimistic about their chances to win the division or make a playoff push. However, Atlanta has a great passing game, and if the line and running game improve, the offense could again be dynamic. The Falcons need the defense to step up, and if that happens they do have the ability to hang with the vast majority of teams on their schedule. It’s going to be an interesting year in Atlanta in 2019.
