THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!!!!! For the last three Thursday's I've been counting down the days until I mid-week football finally begins! With ten minutes until kick-off, I hardly have time to write up a preview for the game, but I expect Atlanta to edge it. The line is -1.0 in Atlanta's favour and although I can't see them winning by too much, I'd bet on them to take that too. In my mid season power rankings - which I'll post up tomorrow - I actually have Baltimore higher than Atlanta, however I feel Atlanta have more potential in this game. Matt Ryan's home record is incredible (16-1), I still don't trust Joe Flacco, and the Atlanta have enough weapons on offense to match the Ravens on defense (Roddy White, Michael Turner and Jenkins, with future HOF Gonzales as if that wasn't enough...)
I think this will also be an interesting game from the Bucs perspective. We only just lost by one score last week and this game will give a better gauge as to where the Falcons rank. A big win from Atlanta tonight would look very favourably on our Buccaneers.
