Miami at Atlanta

The Atlanta Falcons have a young, established QB in Matt Ryan who has quickly become a leader for this team both on and off the field. It is likely, however that he will only lead the Falcons here in three series before taking a seat. The Falcons saw everything go right for them a year ago, but they looked downright ugly in the playoffs. The offense has an aging and regressing star back in Turner, and the defense is lacking up the middle and is vulnerable to the run, playing into what Miami does best. The Dolphins have a potentially great defense, and their passing game is suspect, but they should be able to run the ball well enough against the Falcons’ second and third units to be in this one to win it. Miami gets the nod.
