THE PREDICTION

Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles both endured a disappointing year last time around and will hope for better as the new season kicks off. The Falcons went 4-12 and sacked head coach Dan Quinn after going 0-5 before interim coach Raheem Morris was also fired with Arthur Smith handed the job of changing their fortunes. The Eagles were not much better having finished 4-11-1 but there is hope that a change of direction at QB under Jalen Hurts could lead to better results. There is little to split between the two here but the Eagles have won three of the past four clashes between the two so they are tipped to improve on that record.
