Falcons RB Michael Turner rushed for 220 yards the last time he faced the Lions and the Detroit defense was ripped by the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears for 325 total rushing yards and 6.0 yards a carry the last two games. So lets see if we can figure out the game plan for the Falcons. If Jahvid Best does not play the Falcons will eat up LT Jeff Backus and get to Stafford like last week when he got sacked 5 times, That all adds up to a Falcons upset to us.
Our Prediction: Atlanta 36 – Detroit 28
