Cautious.

Atlanta has played well against us in recent years. Looks like both Julio and Ridley will play and Davante Adams will be out. Falcons are definitely desperate to keep their jobs and the Packers are heading into a bye week if I'm not mistaken. It's got the makings of a trap game all over it, but I honestly just think the Falcons are better than their record shows. I don't think it's a trap game because I think the Falcons are, again, better than they look.

I'm optimistic for a home win, Green Bay has won 7 of its last 9 home games on MNF

The best blocking WR (Lazard) and best blocking TE ( M. Lewis) are out for the game, so that may negatively impact the running game.
And since Coach LaFleur built this offense around the outside zone run game - it will be interesting to see how he and Rodgers handle that challenge

As per usual, it probably comes down to how well Rodgers plays

"Rodgers threw for 300-plus yards and a passer rating of 100-plus in four consecutive MNF games (2015-18). According to The Elias Sports Bureau, that was the longest streak in MNF history. In those four games (Packers were 4-0), Rodgers completed 103 of 156 passes (66.0 percent) for 1,398 yards (349.5 per game), 12 TDs and no INTs for a 120.1 passer rating.  (That streak was broken in 2019 vs Lions on MNF, when Rodgers passer rating dipped to 90)

A team that compulsively blows leads versus a quarterback who frequently overcomes odds. Gee, I wonder what could happen here.

Don't underestimate the power of the Falcons to keep Quinns job by winning crap they have no business doing so.  We somehow might win this just to keep the nightmare going knowing our luck :(
