"The Falcons find themselves at 2-2 on the season, trailing the Buccaneers by two games in the NFC South, and now face the 4-1 Bills at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. With Tampa showing a strength for stealing victories from the jaws of defeat, this feels like a critical moment in Atlanta's season, should it hope to contend for the divisional crown."
"The Falcons are fresh off a Week 5 bye and should be receiving some necessary help in the secondary against Buffalo. Cornerback A.J. Terrell has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, and while backup corner Dee Alford has been steady in relief, the value of Atlanta getting its top corner back cannot be understated against Josh Allen."
"Buffalo was outdueled by Drake Maye and the Patriots at home in Week 5, a game where they turned the ball over three times and committed 11 penalties for 90 yards. The Bills are a very good football team, but they've had stretches in games where they've looked rather pedestrian - particularly against the Saints."
Atlanta enters the matchup at 2-2, trailing the Buccaneers by two games in the NFC South, and will host the 4-1 Buffalo Bills at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday Night Football. FanDuel lists the Falcons as 4.5-point underdogs, and Atlanta carries a 17-28 MNF all-time record. The team is coming off a Week 5 bye and could regain cornerback A.J. Terrell, who missed two games with a hamstring injury, strengthening a defense that leads the league with a 57.7% completion rate allowed. Buffalo showed turnover and penalty issues in Week 5, creating an opportunity for Atlanta’s defense to set the tone.
