With a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms Sunday, there's a good chance the roof at Cowboys Stadium will be closed.
Considering the Falcons are 11-2 in indoor games under second-year coach Mike Smith and 4-4 in outdoor games, the Cowboys might want to keep the roof open.
Another trend that favors Atlanta is their 8-0 record under Smith when they win the turnover battle.
The Falcons have a plus-5 turnover ratio, while the Cowboys rank near the bottom of the league at minus-4.
But let's not forget Dallas is 16-5 in the first game after a bye week, including 2-0 under Wade Phillips. In home games after a bye week, Dallas is 6-1.
