re: Why Are The Falcons The Sexy Pick Again

I for one am concerned that the Falcons will have a gaudy record, not because I think they are great but because their schedule is super easy. This is their road schedule:
Saints (very tough)
Eagles (moderately tough)
Steelers without Ben (moderately tough)
Carolina (decent)
Seattle (decent)
Tampa (easy)
St. Louis (easy)
Cleveland (easy)
This is a VERY easy road schedule. Other than Saints game, you have Kolb with the Eagles and Dennis Dixon? with the Steelers as your 2nd and 3rd hardest road games. Their home schedule is harder obviously but they get all of their hard games at home:
Saints (very hard)
Packers (very hard)
Ravens (very hard)
Bengals (decent to hard)
Carolina (decent)
Tampa (easy)
Arizona (decent)
San Fran (decent)
I can see them going 11-5 just based on the schedule. If we had their schedule based on "where" we play teams, we would go 13-3 or 12-4. Regardless I am concerned about their record. Just my two cents.

I see, at best, 5-3 on the road for them (losses @NOLA, @Seattle, and @Philly. Maybe @Pittsburgh).
They could easily lose the first three home games that you listed, plus San Fran or Arizona may be tougher.

Kolb was a monster last year. Byron Leftwich will be the starter for the Steelers in Ben's absence.
