Vote: Will Falcons defeat Broncos?

Well, that was unexpected.

The Saints were coming off seven straight losses and had just fired their head coach. Oops.

The Falcons dropped another odd game in New Orleans. In last week’s poll, 88% of respondents voted for a Falcons win – 55% in a close game and 33% in a rout.

So, to paraphrase, it’s on to the Broncos. The Falcons are in Denver this week before their bye week.

Let us know what you think. How will the Falcons fare this week?

Here are the results so far this season so you can keep track of how you’ve done based on the results:

Loss to Steelers, 18-10 - 20% voted for close loss

Win over Eagles, 22-21 - 17% voted for close win
