Prediction Time: Falcons at Cowboys

I think it’s a track meet. Home cooking helps us eek out a close one late

Cowboys 38
Atl 34

dak gets sacked 4 times and goes back into shell shock and loses again.

At the half. Prescott gets carted off the first series of the 3rd quarter with what ends up being cramps.

Final score....

My favorite Eeyore quote:

"It's not much of a tail...but then again...I'm not much of a donkey"

I don't know how MM handles losses but Garret would have them ready to win.

Dallas 31
Atlanta 24

Cowboys will win and Falcons will score late to make it look close than it actually is. 33-26.

Nolan should be well prepared since he is going against familiar faces. The pass rush will get there because Koetter loves throwing the ball. The Falcons defense is a lot easier to deal with. Argument is the Falcons will deal with an easier defense as well but because the Falcons will have a statue of a QB and have a more predictable offense, the defense of the Cowboys should play much better than last week.

Since we will be playing at home with fans, do you think this will have any impact on the game? Do you think Big Mike will make adjustments?

I will refrain from making a judgement on this game beforehand as I believe I am a jinx

This team is basically back to where Romo was most of his career. Unless the QB plays an absolutely perfect game we are going to lose.

Falcons 30 Cowboys 27.

sitting at 1-0 with my 30-24 Rams prediction, I think they come back and look much better this week.
31-24 Boys.
now with that said..IF, IF they look the same, Mike takes play calling over by Monday morning.

what is the line,, driving, cant look
good call btw

I predicted we would start the season 1-2 and i figured this was the game we would win but after what i saw this past Sunday i'm not sure we won't start 0-3. Falcons 27 Cowboys 17

Will be a close game decided in 4th quarter.
Game will be decided by our pass rush this time....if Matty Ice has time, we are doomed. If our pass rush is there, we win.

After last week I truly have no idea. I could see us winning OR losing in a blowout. No confidence either way.

Home field means nothing at Cowboys Stadium so who knows. Best guess is the opposite of last week.

I honestly didn’t have a very good feeling going into the rams game, and I still don’t going into this one.

Dal -6 O/U is 51

We may see close to 800 total passing yards this Sunday, im going huge on the over. If I hit it ill be sippin margaritas off the coast of Fiji, if I lose ill just have to explain to my kids the benefits of community College.

We have no secondary,no lbs, slightly above average dl..our ol is in a state of flux..we lose 27-17

cowboys 100- falcons 10

Dan Quinn is 5-1 vs Mike McCarthy. He is 2-1 Against Dallas while head coach of Atlanta.

Dirk Koetter should know everything there is to know about Mike Nolan's Defense. They were both coordinators in Atlanta under Mike Smith. So they should be completely prepared for whatever Nolan Brings. Yes the flip of that is true also and Nolan should know all about there offense...the issue to me there is Koetter is the one playing chess with all the talent here, the Dallas defense is not that talented and some of the guys who are talented were complete no shows sunday night.

Dallas was 4-0 for noon kickoffs last year...those games were against Miami, Washington x2 and at Detroit. in 2018 they were 4-1. In 2017 they were 1-1 and 2016 they were 3-1
So this team under Dak is 12-2. He really didn't play in the loss at philly in 16 and philly didnt really try in the win at philly in 17 so essentially they are 11-1. in this time period the only good team they have played at noon was baltimore in 2016. Crowds here for noon games are usually lethargic and the stadium lacks energy...not that it matters this week.

Joe Whitt Jr. Atlanta's secondary coach and pass game coordinator was with McCarthy for 10 years in Green Bay. I imagine he will know exactly how he thinks and wants to approach a game.

Dan Quinn said that his secondary got beat in Seattle because they didn't disguise their coverages and in man they just were left chasing seattle's pass catchers. I expect them to play more zone and maybe change some things up.

Atlanta's corners are not very good. They were missing their third corner sunday in Kendall Sheffield and Terrell is a rookie. Oliver looks like the real weak link and is probably where Dallas will attack them. Their safeties are a good group it appears to me.

They lost a game against the top nfc team IMO after an odd sequence of 4th down mishaps for Atlanta. I don't see that happening again.

I feel like the rams played especially conservative on offense to hog the ball and keep what is supposed to be an explosive Dallas Offense off the field. I think Atlanta's approach will be the opposite. I think they are going to come out firing and just attack down the field.

After all the talk from April to August about how great the Cowboys trio of wr are I think this game swings because the group of pass catchers in Atlanta are just more talented than the Dallas secondary. Jones, Ridley, Gage and Hurst should do what they want sunday.

I will take Atlanta 31-20. I can see a scenario where Atlanta jumps out 14-0 and Dallas cuts it to 14-10 before atlanta makes it 21-10. An interesting situation would be Dallas on a fourth down trailing 21-17 in the fourth and McCarthy taking the points this week and then atlanta scores again. McCarthy gets roasted for going for three and Dallas loses 31-20 and is now staring straight at 0-3. All the pressure in the world would be on McCarthy and Dak to not lose to a what I think will be a 2-1 Cleveland team.

A real situation could set it self up that New York comes to Dallas october 11 to play the toilet bowl between two 0-4 teams. That's if they do in fact lose this game to Atlanta. Would have been nice if they had Cleveland this week. Mike McCarthy could be looking at a Dave Campo era start here in 2020.

Falcons 35, Cowboys 10

Put a fork in this team after Sunday. They are done.
