2018 Falcons Season Preview & NFL Futures Lines
Looking for 2018 Atlanta Falcons predictions? We’ve got your back. The Atlanta Falcons were 10-6 last season. Some would say the team had a Super Bowl hangover. I say the Falcons were one of the more balanced teams in the league last year, and it showed. In order for the Falcons to show up again this postseason, the team must stay focused in the locker room.

2018 Atlanta Falcons Predictions: Roster Changes
The Atlanta Falcons didn’t make may notable roster moves in the off-season, but did lose two solid defensive players in Dontari Poe and Adrian Clayborne. Their leadership will be missed, but the Falcons are talented enough to make up for what Poe and Clayborne brought to the defense.

The defensive line is one of the strongest and deepest positions the Falcons have this year. Look for Vic Beasley to step up like he did in 2016.
Aside from the moves defensively, the Falcons were able to get Calvin Ridley in the first round of the draft. Ridley is expect to make an immediate impact for Atlanta.
Free agent, tight end, Logan Paulson was signed in the off-season, largely because he will be used as a blocking tight end. I can also see Paulson being used in key third down situations.
Running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman, will be the teams one two combination in the backfield. Rookie Ito Smith, will be rarely used, but should add depth at the position.
Atlanta really did not need much help this off-season, so the moves that were made should make the team a littler more balanced than they were last year.
2018 Atlanta Falcons Predictions: Offense
Matt Ryan is back to prove once again, he is a top tier quarterback in the NFL. Mattie Ice, has been under the microscope since winning the MVP, and taking a Super Bowl loss two seasons ago.
Ryan threw for over 4,000 yards and completed 20 touchdowns, but threw 12 interceptions last season.

Despite his good numbers, Ryan still needs to be better. Based on the eye test last year, Ryan struggled in the red zone. He missed a lot of reads and force the ball too much in short field.
Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu and rookie Calvin Ridley, should give secondary’s fits. Add under rated top five running back Devonta Freeman, and the Falcons offense could be the most deadly in the NFC South this season.
2018 Atlanta Falcons Predictions: Defense
On the defensive side of the ball, the Falcons are probably one of the deepest and talented teams in the NFL this season. The Falcons endless quality depth on the defensive line and in the secondary, should stay refreshed throughout games this year.
Vic Beasley, of course will be the leader again defensively, but expect teams to struggle against Atlanta. More so this season than last.
2018 Atlanta Falcons Handicapping: (Strengths/Weaknesses)
The Falcons offense is going to put up huge numbers as long as the team stays healthy. The Falcons have arguably one of the best and most balanced offensive lines in the league. Expect Matt Ryan and company to be unstoppable the first few weeks of the season.
The team looks great on paper heading into 2018. Everyone knows what Atlanta could be capable of this season.

With a Super Bowl or bust mentality in Atlanta this season, the Falcons worst enemy is themselves. This season the Falcons must unite as a whole in order to get a ring.
2018 Atlanta Falcons Prediction (Final Record): 5-11
Atlanta is an early pick to make a deep playoff run. If the Falcons stay healthy, they should have no issues this season outside of their division rivals.
This season, the Falcons offensively or defensively have no excuses to under achieve. Atlanta took eventual Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia, down to the last seconds in the divisional round of the playoffs last year. This season, the team is deeper and more talented offensively.
