Summary:
Two of the NFL’s top ten offenses due battle in this week seven match-up. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones have gotten the Falcons off to a fast start and are both legitimate MVP candidates. The Falcons defense has been poor this year but they have been able to outscore nearly everyone they’ve played. Phillip Rivers is playing quarterback at a high level for the Chargers and has their offense clicking as well. Melvin Gordon has emerged as a solid running back for San Diego while Joey Bosa is wreaking havoc on the defensive end. This game is going to be a shootout and Atlanta is better equipped to win that type of game.
