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.
