Things You Should Know Before You Bet The Falcons WK 1
From iSportsWeb:
The 2018 Falcons are a young team still on the rise (up); one that needs stronger performances from their depth players, but one on the rise nonetheless. They may not have shown how tough they are against the Jets (in their preseason game), but there were a few positives.
The biggest positive has to be a lack of any major injuries occurring. After watching the Redskins lose rookie running back Derrius Guice to a torn ACL, teams around the league are once again on edge waiting for the injury bug to bite them next.
