Atlanta at Cleveland – Preview – NFL
The Cleveland Browns will take on the Atlanta Falcons in a matchup that will take place in Cleveland. As of late, the Falcons are a team that has really been playing well. Meanwhile, the Browns can expect to start winning games on a weekly basis, before they have ways to go.
As of late, the Falcons have looked like topflight team. On the season, they are 3-1. Last season, their success started towards the end of the year. The Falcons, in their last 7 contests are now 6-1. The team features a tough defense and a solid offense that can keep almost anyone in check.
Per game, the defense is allowing just 15 points on the season. To keep the team in almost any game, this is good enough. Per game, the offense has scored 23 points and as their young quarterback continues to mature, it looks like they will just continue to improve.
To the offense, the Browns have made changes, including a change in quarterback recently. Now, Seneca Wallace is running the show. Wallace is not an amazing quarterback, he has the tools to keep his team in the game and this is the interesting thing about him. To get the attention of the defense, he is quick enough, allowing his receivers more time to get open.
When these two teams get together this Sunday, this game should be a hard fought matchup. The Falcons, of their own destiny, will definitely be in control. They should pull this one out, if they can keep from turning the ball over.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens – NFL Preview
The Pittsburgh Steelers will square off against the Baltimore Ravens in way is shaping up to be a very tough matchup between two of the most physical teams in the NFL. Fewer than 14 points a game are given up by both teams. By winning the first three games, the Steelers have surprised everyone. Meanwhile, through three games, the Ravens are 2-1.
This season, the Steelers still find ways to win each week, although they have been playing with their 3rd and 4th string quarterbacks. In a row, they have won 5 games. They have really handled the Ravens well over their past 5 encounters, although they not only have momentum. Against Baltimore, the Steelers have lost just one of their last 5 games. While playing in Pittsburgh, they have also won 9 of their last 10 matchups.
On defense to this point, the Ravens have been what everyone expects, but not until last week did, they really show a spark on offense. For Joe Flacco, Anquan Boldin really looked like he was an unstoppable option. For well over 100 yards, the tandem was connected. As they need a strong showing from their offense against this tough Steelers defense, this sort of offensive attack will be important.
Baltimore has looked like the dominant defensive team that once won a Super Bowl and they have won 4 of its last 6 games. By which team is able to move the ball early in the game, this team should be decided. You can expect these defenses to tighten up more and more, as the games goes on.
This will definitely be worth watching and it could be the most physical matchup of the season. In these ones, Pittsburgh will be the 1-point favorite. At 34, currently the total sits.
