This schedule is notable for several playoff contenders in the first half of the year, including that opening road game against the Vikings, plus games against the Colts, Eagles, Rams, Seahawks, and Texans/Titans. None of those are impossible games—having the Rams at home helps—but they are tough, and the Falcons will be in excellent shape if they can come out of the first half of the year relatively unscathed. Their bye then leads into all six of their divisional games paired with a home tilt against the Jaguars and road game against the 49ers.

Aside from the Bucs, potentially, and the Cardinals, there are no easy games on this schedule. There’s also very few that I’d pencil in as definite losses at the moment, as crazy as that might sound after last year, making this a slate that’s navigable if the Falcons are improved and healthy. That’s hardly a given, but so long as the NFC South isn’t a juggernaut this year, I feel good about Atlanta’s chances.

We still have the NFL Draft coming up on April 25, 2019, but after looking over the Falcons 2019 schedule, what are your record predictions? Let us know in the comments below!
