Check out the new edition of Pro Football Weekly's pre-season picks. The Atlanta Falcons are on their list as winning the NFC South in 2010. That's a big prediction since the reigning Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints are still in the division.
Strangely enough, after reading the whole thing, they don't give any concrete reason for their opinion. The positive signs are back to back winning seasons, the maturing of Matt Ryan, and the healthy return of Michael Turner. All valid items I'm sure. But somewhere along the way they should give specifics on how the Atlanta Falcons plan on knocking off the Saints.
I'm thing the Falcons will be a better team in 2010. Possibly good enough to win the division but certainly good enough to get into the playoffs. If Turner stays healthy, if the defense can stop a good passer, if the special teams can make some plays. The same ifs that face every NFL team out there.

Steelers vs Falcons Tickets - Benless Beginning
Steelers vs Falcons tickets are a good way to start the year for Atlanta Falcons fans. The Steelers will almost certainly be without Big Ben for this one and maybe the next five games. The Atlanta Falcons, barring injury, will be at full strength and featuring Matt Ryan, one of the up and coming quarterbacks in the NFL.
For the Atlanta Falcons, overcoming a dissapointing 2009 is a must. yes, the Falcons did put together their first back to back winning seasons. But playoff expectations were high in 2009. getting back is also a must.
Matt Ryan returns after a solid 2009. 22 touchdowns and 16 interceptions means he's on the right track. He should also benefit from a year of work with Tony Gonzales.
Michael Turner seems to be healthy after an injury ridden season in 2009. Also, having Jason Snelling there to spell him in games will help.
Roddy White had 85 catches and is expected to be a major force.
Make no mistake, the Steelers vs Falcons game is a winnable game for Atlanta. Kicking Pittsburgh while they're down would be a good way to set the tone for 2010. With the Saints expected to challenge for another Super Bowl, staying even with New Orleans is a must for the Atlanta Falcons.

Saints vs Falcons Tickets - Falcons Need to Re-Group
Saints vs Falcons tickets could be a disaster for the Atlanta Falcons if they don't circle the wagons and re-group. The Falcons are battered and in disarray after falling to the Philadelphia Eagles. A season that began with such promise for Atlanta is now a struggle to survive.
There are good reasons for the Falcons struggle. With Matt Ryan out of the picture the onus falls on Chris Redman. While Redman did an excellent job against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his performance against the Eagles was less than spectacular.
Even worse, it seems like Falcons ticket holders don't have any faith in their team. The Georgia Dome was filled with cheers for Michael Vick. Fans fought to get out as Atlanta fell behind. The belief that the Falcons could pull off back to back winning seasons is gone with the wind. If the Atlanta Falcons don't suck it up and get mean, Saints vs Falcons tickets are the opening stage of a funeral procession for Atlanta Falcons 2009.

Eagles vs Falcons Tickets - NFL Playoff Battle
Eagles vs Falcons tickets could be a ringside seat to a decisive playoff battle in the NFC. The Atlanta Falcons are at 6-5 and have little hope of catching the 11-0 New Orleans Saints. Therefore their race is now against teams like the New York Giants and yes, the Philadelphia Eagles. Make no mistake, this is an important game for both teams.
Unfortunately for the Falcons it looks like they could be trying to gain a playoff edge without Matt Ryan and Michael Turner. Ryan suffered a turf toe injury last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is out for an indeterminate time. Fortunately for the Falcons Chris Redman came in and led the team to a thrilling last minute win. While not as talented as Ryan, Redman has the ability to keep the offense from completely stalling. The big problem will be doing that without Michael Turner against a good Philadelphia Eagles defense.
From the Eagles standpoint things are looking up. Philadelphia has now won back to back games in a heroic fashion. Donovan McNabb seems to be driving this team through sheer force of will. While never a popular man in Philadelphia, the rest of the NFL knows that McNabb can carry the Eagles offense like nobody else.
Eagles vs Falcons tickets are a major NFL milestone in the 2009 season. Should Atlanta lose they face an uphill battle for the playoffs. The Eagles meanwhile, could put themselves in position knock the Dallas Cowboys out of the top spot in the NFC East. It's gonna be interesting.

Giants vs Falcons Tickets - Giants Stadium - Falcons Need a Win
It's not too unusual to have an NFL game be crucial. The argument could be made that every game is crucial. But let's face it, there comes a time in any season when the win-loss record reaches a tipping point, a point of no return. Giants vs Falcons tickets offer the chance to see this in action.
The Falcons are in a precarious position. With the New Orleans Saints almost a lock for the NFC South title the Falcons are locked in on a shot at an NFL Wild Card spot. That means, first of all, handling the rest of the teams in the division as well as in the conference. This Giants and Falcons contest is only the first in a series. To make it even tougher, Atlanta is going to have to do it with an injured Michael Turner, who hurt his ankle in a tough loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Over the course of the next few weeks the Falcons will have to meet the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the division leading New Orleans Saints. It isn't going to be an easy trip, and the journey begins with Giants vs Falcons tickets.
