(Too) Bold Predictions: Roquan Smith's huge homecoming
How’s that for a return to Georgia? Smith has been pretty good in coverage this year and the Falcons might need to use tight end Hayden Hurst more in the passing game if Julio Jones is out. I like Smith to have a big game regardless, his first career touchdown would be the icing on the cake.
This might not feel super bold but to me it is, dangit: Five catches, 90 yards a touchdown. Atlanta’s defense is not good, and while they’re fast...they’re still not very good. I like the matchup of Kmet on some of the Falcons’ linebackers, and it’s one Mitch Trubisky can go back to quite a bit on Sunday.
It's been a slow start for Robinson, and his performance against the Giants garnered more scrutiny than the receiver's probably used to getting from the Chicago media. Atlanta's secondary hasn't been particularly impressive so far, and the Bears are going to have to air it out some to keep up with the Falcons' offense. A big game from ARob quiets some of the contract distraction discourse for a few days.
Eddie Jackson turnovers happen in bunches, and missed opportunities to score against the Giants clearly left a bad taste in his mouth. The defense has shown a knack for finding the ball through the first two games, and it feels like only a matter of time before they take one back that isn't flagged. This also means the offense didn't play so well again, but let's not get lost in the fine details.
