Falcons are usually a good home team but I feel the Ravens will sneak out with a win.

Matt Ryan is 17-1 at home as a starting QB, I think the Falcons pull it out by 7-10. Depending on if Roddy White is 100% this week like he should be, was dinged up a bit in the Bucs game

I heard the 17-1 home record yesterday and that kind of put me on edge but so did the Dolphins undefeated away record.

17-1 career is a little different than 3-0 this season.

I think this game is a tossup but I'll be rooting for the Falcons for obvious reasons. It'll be a close game.

Yeah, I wasn't comparing the two streaks. Just simply meant they can be altered.

Falcons pass offense against the Ravens pass defense. Strength against weakness, and throw in the game is in Atlanta, the 17-1 record, and it looks like the edge goes to the Falcons. But it should be one of the better games this weak. Too bad it's not telivised here in Ohio.

Lol it's all good. I know the Falcons have the edge in this game for a reason or two. I can't count my boys out though.

I think the Falcons are a little overhyped........Baltimore is the best team right now.

Falcons just held on to beat the Bucs at the goal line.

Ravens 31
Falcons 20

I may not be right....but I lost huge cash (fake that is) to make sure the Phillies didn't win the WS.......I'm going to put at least 5,000 on the Ravens this week....not too mention my luck has been too good on here of late.......Ravens are doomed.

I guess we shall see soon enough. I'm glad the game is Thursday but then again it blows because then I have to wait 10 days until the next Ravens game.

Im not sure why that is a bad thing. The Bucs are a very solid team this year.

Yeah, the Bucs are pretty good this year. I expect a close game on Thursday and nothing less. I haven't watched enough of Atlanta to know if they are over hyped or not but they definitely have a test on Thursday. So it may answer some of the question.

Roddy White, Sean Witherspoon and Todd McClure are all listed as questionable for the game

White's injury might be the difference in the game. Ravens secondary can be exploited but they need him close to 100 percent.

I want him to play because he is on my fantasy team but also because I don't want the Ravens to beat a team when their best player is out. The secondary is finally coming together I think. Carr and Webb are playing decent and Ed Reed is well Ed Reed.

I'll buy Atlanta being a very solid team......but not buying Tampa Bay

Yes, they are 5-3 but have been outscored 157-190....results:

vs Cleveland 17-14
@ Carolina 20-7
vs Pittsburgh 13-38
@ Cincy 24-21
vs New Orleans 6-31
vs St Louis 18-17
@ Arizona 38-35
@ Atlanta 21-27
