Eagles-Falcons: The pick
I MIGHT BE crazy, but I'm taking the Eagles. Not that impressed with a few of the Falcons' wins, think the Birds' defense will be pretty solid in its first outing under Todd Bowles. Looking for lots of LeSean McCoy on a forecast bad-weather day, against a defense ranked 28th against the run.

Feel free to poke fun at me mercilessly if I'm wrong, but the Eagles really, really need this game. They have declared they will make their stand here. The Falcons, well, I'm sure they want to stay unbeaten, but really, is 6-1 a huge problem for them?
Prediction: Eagles 23, Falcons 20.
