Great win yesterday. They didn't play great, but they ran the ball and they were fantastic on 3rd down defense. Those are two musts when you are a mediocre football team attempting to masquerade as a playoff team.
I don't think Atlanta is that great. The Cowboys are a team built on Offense without their 2 best offensive players. Obviously Julio Jones could destroy the Texans by himself, but Atlanta has squeaked by 3 bad teams so far. They are the only defense to make Philly look competent on offense, they held on against the Giants and beat Brandon Weeden yesterday. I think the Falcons are rightly favored, but they are no juggernaut.
