Rookie QB Matt Ryan is in for a rude welcome home this week in Philly. A pair of teams coming off byes will face off Sunday, where Ryan's Atlanta Falcons will try for their third straight victory, while the Philadelphia Eagles look to climb back into the NFC East race.

Ryan, who is a local hero in Philadelphia, will have to battle a hungry Eagles team and their blitz-happy defense that is among the league leaders in sacks. The Falcons quarterback has thrown four touchdown passes and just one interception in his last four games. Can the combo of Ryan and one of the best rushing games in the NFL help the 9-point underdog Falcons improve on their 6-2 ATS record in their last eight games?
The Eagles are tied for second in the NFL with 21 sacks, including 14 in three home games, and they won't be holding anything back against Ryan.
