The Atlanta Falcons are set to face the Buffalo Bills for Week 6’s Monday Night Football action live from Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Falcons. The Falcons coming into this game with a 2-2 record, with a bye week in Week 5. They, under Michael Penix Jr, have been a bit of a confusing team this season, ranking No.1 in total defense and 7th in total offense. However, they were completely shut out against a bottom ranked team in Carolina Panthers in Week 3, but won against the Washington Commanders in Week 4. Are they a playoff contending team? We cannot say just yet.
The Buffalo Bills on the other hand, were undefeated until Week 5 but lost to the New England Patriots last week. They are 4-1 for the season, thanks to their homefield advantage and Josh Allen’s continued success after his MVP campaign last season. In Week 5 we saw a significant hole for the Bills and came to a conclusion that if the Bills do not score the ball enough, they will always be in danger to lose the match. Bills rank No.3 in total offense and have been stellar, but struggle with defensive inconsistency. While Bills are some of the best teams, they have the same problem as last season, which makes us question their playoff chances.

If you’re looking for a complete guide to the best NFL betting sites, we’ve got you covered.
The Buffalo Bills are one of the worst teams in the NFL in terms of rushing defense and the Falcons will look to exploit this using thier running back, Bijan Robinson. Robinson has rushed for 314 yards already, but has one TD in this season, coming in Week 4 against the Commanders. Hence, it is a safe bet to assume Robinson will score at least one TD.
James Cook is a threat to score at anytime looking at the number of touches he gets during a game. He’s had 13 or more rush attempts in every game so far, and has had 3 games over 100 rushing yards. He’s scored in every game except in Week 5 and looking at him as the primary go-to weapon, it is safe to assume that Cook will score a TD in this game.
Both the Buffalo Bills and the Atlanta Falcons are one of the best teams offensively, with the Falcons ranking 7th in total offense, 13th in passing offense, and 6th in rushing offense. While the Buffalo Bills rank 2nd in rushing offense, 7th in passing offense, and 3rd in total offense.
We expect the Buffalo Bills to take down the Atlanta Falcons, because of their offensive surge, and looking at the Falcons’ inconsistent offense. While defensively, the Bills are very vulnerable, their offense should be enough to take down the Falcons. However, we expect this game to be extremely close.
Prediction: Buffalo Bills win the game 35-28
