The Atlanta Falcons are set to face the Philadelphia Eagles in their first Monday Night Football game in four years and their first primetime game in two years. The Falcons' last victory on national television occurred in 2020 on a Thursday night, while the Eagles secured a win on national TV in Week 1 this season against the Green Bay Packers.
The Eagles have been consistent playoff contenders in recent seasons and have bolstered their roster with the addition of Saquon Barkley. Barkley had an impressive performance in Week 1, scoring three touchdowns and earning NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
In contrast, the Falcons are looking to recover from an opening loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite a strong defensive showing that did not allow a touchdown, the Falcons' offense struggled, managing only 226 yards from scrimmage.
Expert predictions for Week 2 initially favored Atlanta. However, following the Falcons' loss and the Eagles' victory over the Packers, many experts now lean towards Philadelphia as the likely winner.
