My take on the Falcons: This team will go as far as their QB leads them. The offense goes as Jaybo goes. The offense has become very balanced and can run or pass if needed. Jaybo rarely makes bad passes and has a multitude of weapons on offense around him. The defense will bend but rarely breaks as they have given up some yards but very few points. They play man-to-man on the outside and for good reason b/c they have some of the best DBs in the region. I believe the bracket sets up nicely for them and they will make a run at playing in the Dome. Although it will take a special effort in all areas for this team to take home the title.
