The Falcons had a tumultuous start to the campaign, losing their opening two games. They ended their winless start to the season by beating the Seahawks. They got the better of their opponents in a cagey affair, thanks to a brilliant performance by Marcus Mariota.
The Falcons haven't started off well but have started to pick up some steam in the last few games. They are on track to doing better than they did last season, going 7-10 and finishing third in the standings.
Cordarrelle Patterson had a particularly stellar game last time out. Patterson had 17 carries over 141 yards and one touchdown against the Seahawks. His performance propelled the Falcons towards a much deserved and much needed win.

Falcons vs Browns Final Prediction
Both defenses have been quite shoddy this season. The Falcons should be favored, as they will have their home crowd behind them.
The duo of Mariota and Patterson should once again be the premier threat, which the underperforming Browns defence might not be able to handle. The Browns have started the season well, but they are still showing signs of a disjointed team.
Atlanta Falcons: +105
