One of the more disappointing teams in the last two seasons, the Atlanta Falcons<\/strong> begin their quest back toward respectability in an NFC South Division that is very much up for grabs. <\/p>\n ***2015 BONUSES***<\/a><\/strong> Atlanta Falcons Betting Lines to win the 2016 Super Bowl<\/strong> 40\/1 What happened to this team? It was 2012 that this team looked like something special, they played in the NFC Championship game and almost went to the Super Bowl. Fast forward two seasons and the Falcons have gone 10-22.<\/p>\n Atlanta hired former Seahawks D-Coordinator Dan Quinn to run the show and that\u2019s a good thing. The question is \u2013 does this team look better than the one that won just 6 games last year? I\u2019m not sure.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The Falcons biggest weakness the last couple of seasons has been defense. They scored 381 points last year \u2013 not bad but gave up 417 (26.1 per game) \u2013 not good. Atlanta, armed with a new defensive style head coach drafted pass rusher Vic Beasley eighth overall and got tall corner Jalen Collins in the second round. Alongside Desmond Trufant, the Falcons could have a decent cornerback duo.<\/p>\n But that\u2019s about where it ends. Holes that needed to be filled just couldn\u2019t because of the sheer volume of improvement needed. Seriously, this defense was BAD!<\/p>\n That leaves the offense that looks like it is going to have to score 30 a night to keep their team respectable. Matt Ryan is a stud \u2013 he threw for 4,694 yards, 28 touchdowns and only 14 interceptions in 2014. Julio Jones is a stud – 104 passes for 1,593 yards and six touchdowns. So what\u2019s the problem?<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The problem is that Ryan will be throwing to Jones, who is great, a vastly deteriorating Roddy White, the unflattering pair of Jacob Tamme and Tony Moeaki. His weapons aren\u2019t that great. The loss of Harry Douglas could loom large \u2013 just watch.<\/p>\n And then there is the question of who Ryan is going to hand the ball off to. Devonta Freeman and Antone Smith? Neither scares anyone right now.<\/p>\n The Falcons offensive line is still a mess \u2013 many of the positions haven\u2019t even been decided on yet. Matt Ryan could be running for his life this year and the running backs will almost certainly struggle to find any room to run. <\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n It\u2019s pretty hard to get excited about Atlanta\u2019s offense unless you own Julio Jones in your Fantasy league.<\/p>\n I think the Falcons are an improved team. Just the addition of Dan Quinn makes them better. The question is \u2013 did the Falcons do enough in the offseason to be a contender? <\/p>\n This looks like a .500 team to me \u2013 8-8 is where I see the Falcons finishing. Maybe it\u2019s good for an NFC South crown, maybe it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n The 2015 NFL futures betting<\/a> season is right around the corner!
