Jay Novacek:
Redskins (1-0) at Falcons (1-0)
It was important for Redskins coach Steve Spurrier to see his offense succeed against the Jets, even if it wasn't running up the score like he could in his Florida days.
The Falcons defense, however, is pretty good. Atlanta's front four and linebackers are good, and they did a good job confusing Dallas' line and offense. They need to continue to do that to make things easier for the offense until Michael Vick returns.
Looking at this matchup, the Falcons were successful last season, and they face a team that is inconsistent, the Redskins. You never know how Washington will fare.
Because of what the Falcons have done last season and this year, they have an advantage. They are familiar with each other, they're a cohesive unit, and it will be tougher for the Redskins to get back up mentally. It?s not the individual Washington players as much as the team, which will have trouble staying consistent.
Pick: Falcons.
