FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Falcons (5-3) will take on "America's Team" Sunday when they welcome the Dallas Cowboys (3-4) to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Dallas hasn't tasted victory since early October when they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on a game-winning touchdown. They lost their previous two games to the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers and had their bye week in between. Meanwhile, the Falcons have won three of their last four games.
The Cowboys have several injuries heading into the matchup, including All-Pro outside linebacker Micah Parsons. Parsons is reportedly expected to miss Sunday’s game and is one of 10 Cowboys listed on the team’s injury report. The Falcons also had 10 players listed, but that report also included Matthew Judon and James-Smith Williams, who were given a rest day Wednesday.
Last week, the experts heavily leaned toward the Falcons against an injury-riddled opponent;, the consensus is more mixed in Week 9. Check out the full picks below:
