NFL Atlanta Falcons vs Washington Commanders expert predictions
Both teams have had solid seasons, but the Commanders have really taken it up a gear recently. They are still the only team to have handed the Eagles a loss and have won 5 of their last 6 games. While the Falcons picked up a big victory over the Bears last week, they still have problems on defense, having allowed the most passing yards in the NFL. They continuously ship points and will likely have their work cut out against Washington’s running back pairing of Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson.
