Dolphins vs. Falcons: How do they match up in Week 6?
- Thread starter DKphin
- Start date
Well, I never really expected this article to be favorable. The up side is the spread increased from +11 to +13 so maybe by Sunday it will be a full 14? I'm expecting to check out of this game by mid 3rd quarter unless I start Landry in fantasy.

Tua time!
Good lord +13. Ouch
It's gonna be ugly. Our only hope is a 16' pitt-esque switch being flipped.

Falcons in suicide pool? Think I'm going with Houston, sadly our defense scares me out of Atlanta. I think they'll put forth a great effort. We probably just won't score.
Wake vs Ryan Shraeder is going to be a tough one for Wake. Suh will have his hands full on double teams from Mack and a sub-par RG leaving some room for Taylor Vincent one on one with Levitre. Charles Harris/Branch vs Jake Mathews could be key.
They don't match up. ATL wins by 28.
Seems fair enough, other than the Special Teams analysis. Not that our ST unit is better, but they are relying entirely on the kickers.
News flash: There's alot more to ST than just who has the better kicker.
That said, our Grant/Landry return combo hasnt really done much this year. Our blocking on returns is pretty poor, however our coverage on kicks has been pretty good to excellent at times.
I dont know much about Atlanta's ST unit though.
Ha! Not a bad idea actually, too bad I already used the Falcons....against the damn BILLS......
Needless to say, I wont be making a suicide pool pick this week, lol.

I think I'm going Houston. I hate putting my fate in a rookie QB especially considering I moved on going against one (Tribisky) last week. I just can't see Cleveland going in to Houston and winning with Kevin Hogan at QB.
Atlanta, Baltimore, Houston, Washington, and Denver are all solid picks this week if you have them available.
I'd probably go with Washington myself, I want to see how Houston responds to their injuries. That said, it will only be a matter of time before teams start gameplaning to shut down Watson, you may want to take them now.

Thanks, I'll check.
28? Man that would be ugly.
I think the defense is playing well enough to keep Atlanta from embarrassing us that bad. I say 27 - 9 Atlanta.
