In his last two games Roddy White has 266 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Matt Ryan’s’ O-line didn’t allow their QB to be sacked. On defense the Falcons denied the Bears a TD on four trips to the red zone and they allow the fourth least amount of points per-game . As for offense, the Falcons will look to abuse the Cowboys 26th ranked pass defense with their 15th ranked passing game. They’ll need RB Michael Turner to be at his best against the Cowboys 23rd ranked rush defense. The Falcons are 8-0 when Matt Ryan has a 100-plus passer rating and when DE John Abraham has two or more sacks in a game, his teams are 13-3. The Falcons average 24.6ppg and give up 15.4ppg, while they average 27.5ppg on the road and allow 18ppg. They are 4-1 ATS and 2-3 over/under.The Cowboys (3-2) barely won in Kansas City 26-20 (OT) in Week 5 and sat out last week with a bye. The Cowboys are in second in the NFC East. Against KC, QB Tony Romo made 20 of 34 passes for 351 yards with two TD passes; overall he’s thrown for 1,341 with six TD passes and four interceptions. RB Tashard Choice had eight carries for 92 yards with a TD, while WR Miles Austin made a franchise-record 10 catches for 250 yards with two TD’s. Dallas went 0-2 in the red zone and 0-2 in goal to go. With a bye week their injured players should have had time to heal, or have they? RB Felix Jones is listed as questionable with a knee injury; WR Roy Williams is still questionable with a rib injury. WR Miles Austin filled in for Roy Williams and rocked it. If the Cowboys barely pulled off a win against the Chiefs they’ll be in for a shock against the Falcons defense . The Falcons denied the Bears a TD on four trips to the red zone and they allow the fourth least amount of points per-game. The Falcons are currently 21st against the pass and 23rd against the rush, but have been great last two games.
