Re: Falcons @ Bears: Opportunity Knocks
[ QUOTE ]
Any thoughts on a Dome team being outside in December?

Yes. This is the one factor I'm a little bit uneasy about. Its not so much being a dome team as it is being a southern team. I think the weather DID affect the Falcons in the NFC Championship last year -- not so much the cold, but the win. However, Vick & Co. did perform fine in Green Bay a few years back in the playoffs. I think the Falcons will have learned from their experience in Philly last year, but the real reason weather doesn't change my opinion is because the 2005 Bears are NOT the 2004 Eagles -- not even close.
Remember, nothing is a lock. Like all my other picks, all I am saying is that I believe there is good value here.
