Quarterback Matt Ryan posted passer ratings of 155.9 (career-high) and 128.8 in the team's two wins at the Georgia Dome this season while he did not even reach a 90.0 passer rating in three road losses. I would expect him to have the same type of home success this week against a Bears team that has surrendered 26.2 points per game.
Sure, the Falcons will give up points as well, but nobody expects them to win games with their defense.
Ryan and the offense should have a better rhythm in the dome and should be able to get down the field, considering the Falcons lead the league with 28 plays of 20-plus yards. And receiver/return specialist Devin Hester is sure to be hyped playing against his old team, although Hester was hampered by a hamstring all week.
Falcons 35, Bears 28
