Lions at. Falcons preview: Game # 6 ( 2020 )

[D6]

PFT’s Week Seven picks

..........


Lions (+2.5) at Falcons

MDS’s take: After ugly starts to their seasons, the winner of this game will find itself on a two-game winning streak. I think that when Julio Jones is healthy the Falcons still have an elite passing game, and the Lions will struggle to stop it.

MDS’s pick: Falcons 28, Lions 24.

Florio’s take: Lions coach Matt Patricia must win the games he should, or his chances to continue to lose games will disappear. The Falcons’ Week Six win was impressive, but they beat a team that has by all appearances given up on the season.

Florio’s pick: Lions 24, Falcons 21.

.........

This game likely will be decided in the final few minutes. With both teams having a painful history of protecting leads, a wild finish ( something the Lions and Falcons had in their last two head to head games ) seems like a very realistic possibility.

Detroit News predictions: Lions vs. Falcons


...........


The Lions are 2-0 in the games the team won the turnover battle. The Lions are 0-2-1 in the games the team lost the turnover battle. This is a stat that more likely than not will determine the outcome of the game in Atlanta, if the turnover difference isn't 0.

Detroit News scouting report: Lions at Falcons

..........

Numerous injuries in the Falcons Secondary earlier in the season certainly contributed to their pass Defense stats being amongst the worst in the NFL.

Detroit Lions vs. Atlanta Falcons: Dave Birkett's scouting report, prediction

........

Regarding the Falcons pass rush: Falcons DE Dante Fowler Jr. only has 1 sack this season through 6 games. But he's coming off a 2019 season with the LA Rams in which he had 11.5 sacks.

Lions vs. Falcons: Matchups to watch, key questions heading into Week 7 game

..........

The Lions best chance at winning this game and with consistency is with the type of Run Defense that was on display by the Lions in Jacksonville.

No news is good news for Lions' inactives list in Atlanta

...........

My prediction for the game is Falcons 31, Lions 27. I have concerns the Lions are going to 2nd able to handle the Falcons passing game, both from a coverage and pass rush standpoint.

Detroit Lions predictions vs. Atlanta Falcons: It'll be high-scoring and close at the end
...........

Until the Lions put together a winning streak, I'm skeptical in games like this, that are close on paper.
