If Calvin Ridley is who they think/hope he is then the Falcons have the best set of wide receivers in the NFC, and perhaps in the NFL other than possibly the Steelers. That's an offense that, on paper, will put up a LOT of points... but the Eagles defense isn't any worse than last year and their own offense is no joke.
No joke about the Falcons. If it weren't for the harsh circumstances I'd call this a pick'em. I understand that the NFL wants to kick off the season with a marquee matchup and the super bowl champions, but it seems pretty tilted to give them such a huge advantage in a contest that may well turn out to be the deciding factor in playoff seeding.
