Atlanta enters 2025 with promising offensive talent including Michael Penix Jr., wide receivers Drake London and Darnell Mooney, and a strong offensive line, though Kaleb McGary's injury is a concern. The defense appeared solid during training camp and the preseason. The franchise has not achieved a winning record or postseason berth since 2017, marking seven seasons without more than eight wins. The Falcons continue to struggle within the NFC South, particularly against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coaching and front office figures Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot face lingering questions. FanDuel lists the win total at 8.5 with over +110 and under -130.
The Atlanta Falcons are in a precarious position entering the 2025 NFL season. Hope abounds for young quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and the high-end play he can bring to the offense. Drake London and Darnell Mooney established themselves as a phenomenal wide receiver duo in 2024. The offensive line was awesome last season-we'll see just how long Kaleb McGary is expected to be out after his injury during Wednesday's practice. Hell, even the defense looks solid through training camp and the preseason!
All that being said, there's still a healthy amount of skepticism surrounding the Falcons. For one, this team hasn't reached a winning record or the playoffs since 2017. For those keeping track, that's seven seasons without more than eight wins or a postseason berth. Even in a division as consistently mediocre-to-bad as the NFC South, the Falcons can't seem to get past the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot also face significant questions heading into 2025.
