In a Week 3 matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and San Diego Chargers, we find ourselves in a battle between two undefeated teams.The Falcons are looking to walk out of Qualcomm with a win, while the Chargers look to get their second consecutive home win of the season.The play of both teams thus far has been surprising. Each team has found ways to maximize their talented rosters throughout the first two weeks of the season, winning both at home and on the road.I, being a football guru, am willing to share with you my insight for this thriller.Let us take a look at three BOLD predictions surrounding the outcome of the game.Julio Jones catches two touchdowns and has 150 yards.In two of my fantasy leagues, Julio Jones was my only hope on Monday night. In one of the two he got me a win, in the other, not so much.It just so happens, that I only needed one point to win. If it were by any larger margin, I would've fallen short of victory. Jones only managed to catch four passes totali...

I wasn’t that impressed with the Falcons on Monday Night. I felt like they should have been up 20 given how badly the Broncos started and how much they turned the ball over, but they didn’t capitalize like they should have. They lost the yardage total battle and the yards per play battle and if it wasn’t for those 4 turnovers, they probably would...

It was an uneven game for Manning, which put the Broncos in a deep hole that they could never fully recover from to win the game. The Broncos would have a late rally...
