NFL Picks Week 2: Will Michael Vick Soar Against Overrated Falcons Defense?

Michael Vick is going to have a field day against the terrible and overrated Atlanta Falcons defense tonight.

Last week, against the Chicago Bears, the Falcons allowed Jay Cutler to complete 22-of-32 passes for two TDs and 312 yards.

While they recorded five sacks and one interception, the Bears have one of the worst offensive lines in all of football.

The Saints, who have a much better defense, forced Cutler into going 19-of-45 for 244 yards and just one INT. They also sacked him six times.

That just shows how bad the Atlanta defense is. The decent Saints defense did such a better job, holding the team to just 13 points while the Falcons gave up 30.

New Orleans isn't even considered an "elite defense."

Vick looked a little rusty compared to last year, when he started the Pro Bowl for the NFC in his first game against the St. Louis Rams. He didn’t do anything great but only struggled with his accuracy.

Vick was 14-of-32 for 187 yards and two TDs, but he also ran 11 times for 97 yards. He managed the game well and made just one mistake, losing a fumble.

LeSean McCoy stole the show in their season opener, but tonight is going to be a different story.

The Falcons are going to have a front row seat to the season premier of the "Michael Vick Experience."

I expect Vick to triumphantly return to the Georgia Dome as a starter for the first time since 2006 and dominate.

His last game in the Dome as the starting QB was a poor one, as he threw two interceptions as the Falcons’ signal caller and the team lost, 10-3.

Vick will have a perfect chance to redeem himself and his career completely after he goes into the Dome and puts up a vintage performance for the ages.

The Falcons weak pass rush has no chance of stopping Vick from running, and he will pick apart their scattered defense all night long.

I believe the Eagles will easily cover the -2.5 spread.

Prediction: Eagles over Falcons, 35-21.
