Here is a summary of the article in 300 words:
The author is excited for Monday Night Football, where the Atlanta Falcons will be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in Philly. The author took a loss in his Sunday picks, but is looking to bounce back by taking the Falcons. The author has some concerns about the Falcons' new-look offense, led by quarterback Kurt Cousins, who struggled in his debut with only 226 total yards and was under duress 39.3% of the time. However, the author believes Cousins will bounce back and play well, citing his strong performance under pressure last season.
The author notes that the Eagles' pass rush was poor last season, which could be a problem for the Falcons' offense. However, the Falcons' pass blocking has been underrated, ranking 4th in pass blocking grade and 5th in pressure rate allowed. The author also expects the Eagles' pass defense to continue to struggle, ranking 28th in EPA and 29th in DVOA, which could be a good sign for Cousins.
On the ground, the Falcons' running game, led by Kyrie, was disappointing last season, but the author is not optimistic about their chances this week against an Eagles defense that struggled against the run, ranking 22nd in DVOA and 30th in EPA. However, the author notes that the Eagles did allow 163 rushing yards and 7.8 yards per carry to the Packers last week, so there is some hope for the Falcons' running game. Overall, the author is optimistic about the Falcons' chances, taking them to win and cover the spread against the Eagles.
