Falcons Wire game-by-game predictions for the 2022 season

The Atlanta Falcons ended their 2021 campaign with a frustrating loss at home to the New Orleans Saints, but the two NFC South rivals will return to Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a rematch to kick off the 2022 season.

Not only are the Falcons playing one of the tougher schedules in the league this year, they take on both of last year’s Super Bowl participants in the Rams and Bengals.

So, how will the team fare this season? Falcons Wire’s Matt Urben and Deen Worley give their score predictions for each game on Atlanta’s 2022 schedule.
