Listen both of these teams were supposed to have a better record at this point in the season, but they don't. Bottom line is the Falcons are home and their home field advantage is probably worth more than 3 points. Falcons are averaging over 500 yards at home while the Bears are averaging less than 300 on the road and though it has a lot to do with the competition both faced I think in the end it will be the Falcons that have more capability to move the ball with a balanced offense. Atlanta is capable of moving the ball via Matt Ryan but this team is also running the ball well in the top 10 in yards per rush. That's a big issue for this Bears defense that is not your Father's Bears defense. The Bears have shown that a good running game and a good passing game can beat them. Chicago is ranked 21st vs. the run and 25th in yards per pass attempt. Atlanta #3 in the red zone in TD% and #1 in yards/play. Falcons major advantage at home and need this game.
