The Atlanta Falcons slumped to 3-5 with a big loss against the New England Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 2.
In this article, we’ll share the 2025 Atlanta Falcons schedule as well as an analysis of each game, which we’ll attend in person.
2025 Atlanta Falcons Schedule
The Falcons have some great games on their schedule, including a Monday Night Football (MNF) showdown and two Sunday Night Football (SNF) games. Another highlight is their Week 10 game against the Indianapolis Colts, which will be played in Berlin, Germany, at Olympic Stadium.
Week Opponent Date and Time (EST) Score (Falcons vs. Opponent) 1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sun, Sep 7, 1:00 PM L 20-23 2 @ Minnesota Vikings Sun, Sep 14, 8:20 PM (SNF) W 22-6 3 @ Carolina Panthers Sun, Sep 21, 1:00 PM L 0-30 4 Washington Commanders Sun, Sep 28, 1:00 PM W 34-27 5 BYE WEEK 6 Buffalo Bills Mon, Oct 13, 8:15 PM (MNF) W 24-14 7 @ San Francisco 49ers Sun, Oct 19, 8:20 PM (SNF) L 10-20 8 Miami Dolphins Sun, Oct 26, 1:00 PM L 10-34 9 @ New England Patriots Sun, Nov 2, 1:00 PM L 23-24 10 @ Indianapolis Colts (Berlin) Sun, Nov 9, 9:30 AM 11 Carolina Panthers Sun, Nov 16, 1:00 PM 12 @ New Orleans Saints Sun, Nov 23, 4:25 PM 13 @ New York Jets Sun, Nov 30, 1:00 PM 14 Seattle Seahawks Sun, Dec 7, 1:00 PM 15 @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers Thu, Dec 11, 8:15 PM (TNF) 16 @ Arizona Cardinals Sun, Dec 21, 4:05 PM 17 Los Angeles Rams Mon, Dec 29, 8:15 PM (MNF) 18 @ New Orleans Saints Sat/Sun, Jan 3/4, TBD How Will the Falcons Do In 2025?
Below is a week-by-week breakdown of their opponents, based on the official schedule, along with an analysis of whether the Falcons are likely to win or lose each game and the reasoning behind each prediction.
The analysis considers the Falcons’ strengths (e.g., offensive firepower with Michael Penix Jr., Drake London, and Bijan Robinson; improved defense with draft picks like Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr.), weaknesses (e.g., unproven quarterback in Penix, defensive pass rush concerns), and opponent dynamics (e.g., 2024 performance, roster changes, and coaching).
The Falcons’ 2025 strength of schedule is the fourth-easiest in the NFL, per Sharp Football Analysis, with opponents having a .478 winning percentage from 2024, which could favor Atlanta.
With that being said, don’t expect Penix to change who he is.
Atlanta Falcons 2025 Schedule and Game-by-Game Analysis
As the full-time starter, Penix’s ability to manage games and avoid turnovers is critical. His 2024 cameo (1-2 record) showed promise but inconsistency.
With elite weapons like London, Robinson, and Pitts, he has the tools to succeed, but his inexperience against top defenses (e.g., Bills, 49ers) could lead to losses
Week 1: Falcons, 20-Tampa Bay 23
Despite a valiant fourth-quarter comeback led by second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons couldn’t overcome a resilient Buccaneers squad, leaving Atlanta fans with a familiar sting of what might have been. Read up on the game.
Week 2: Falcons, 22; Minnesota Vikings, 6
Facing the Vikings in primetime on the road was a tough early test. Minnesota, a second-place finisher in the NFC North in 2024, boasted a potent offense led by Justin Jefferson and a defense that ranked top-10 in points allowed last season.
The Vikings’ home-field advantage at U.S. Bank Stadium and their experience in primetime games tilt the scales. Penix, still adjusting as a starter, struggled against Brian Flores’ blitz-heavy scheme, especially with Atlanta’s offensive line facing pressure. The Falcons’ defense rose to the occasion, flustering JJ McCarthy all night. Falcons win as kicker Parker Romo goes 5-for-5.
Week 3: Falcons 0; Carolina Panthers, 30
The Panthers, a perennial NFC South bottom-dweller, are still rebuilding, but they didn’t show it on this day.
Penix exploits a weak Panthers secondary, and Bijan Robinson dominates on the ground. Even on the road, Atlanta’s superior talent and coaching edge secures a 2-1 record.
Week Falcons 34, Washington Commanders 27
The Commanders, second-place finishers in the NFC East in 2024, were without Jayden Daniels and that was all the leeway the Falcons needed. Penix mastered Dan Quinn’s aggressive defense, using the momentum and Atlanta’s defensive playmaking to steal a tight game.
Week 5: Bye Week
Week 6: Falcons 24, Buffalo 14
The Atlanta Falcons delivered a statement performance on Monday Night Football, dismantling the Buffalo Bills 24-14 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in a game that had Red and Black faithful roaring from the opening kickoff.
With explosive runs, precise passing, and a opportunistic defense, the Falcons improved to 3-2 on the season, marking their second straight victory over a playoff team from last year. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. shone in his steady command of the offense, while the run game terrorized Buffalo’s defense. As the city buzzes with excitement heading into a pivotal matchup against the 49ers, here are five key takeaways from the thrilling upset.
Week 7: at San Francisco 49ers (Away, Oct. 19, Sunday Night Football, 8:20 p.m. ET)
Prediction: Loss
Analysis: The 49ers, despite occasional inconsistency, remain NFC contenders with Kyle Shanahan’s offensive genius and a strong front seven. Playing in Levi’s Stadium on primetime is a daunting task for Penix, who may face relentless pressure from Nick Bosa and company. Atlanta’s defense struggles to stop San Francisco’s run game and play-action passing. Raheem Morris, a former 49ers assistant, keeps it respectable, but the Falcons drop to 3-4.
Week 8: vs. Miami Dolphins (Home, Oct. 26, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Prediction: Win
Analysis: The Dolphins’ high-octane offense, led by Tua Tagovailoa, relies on speed, but their 2024 season showed vulnerabilities against physical defenses. Atlanta’s home advantage and improving defensive front, with Matthew Judon and rookies, disrupt Miami’s rhythm. Penix, gaining confidence, connects with Drake London against a Dolphins secondary that ranked mid-tier in 2024. The Falcons’ balanced attack secures a 4-4 record in a shootout.
Week 9: at New England Patriots (Away, Nov. 2, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Prediction: Win
Analysis: The Patriots, under Mike Vrabel in 2025, are rebuilding with a rookie quarterback or journeyman starter. New England’s defense is tough, but their offense lacks playmakers to exploit Atlanta’s secondary. Penix manages the game well, leaning on Bijan Robinson to control the clock. The Falcons’ pass rush, with Pearce and Walker, overwhelms New England’s offensive line, leading to a 5-4 record with a low-scoring road win.
Week 10: at Indianapolis Colts (Away, Nov. 9, Berlin, Germany, 9:30 a.m. ET)
Prediction: Win
Analysis: The international game pits Atlanta against a Colts team with quarterback uncertainty (Anthony Richardson vs. Daniel Jones). The neutral site levels the playing field, and Atlanta’s offense, with Penix’s growing poise, exploits Indy’s middling defense. The Falcons’ defensive additions contain Indy’s run-heavy approach. Atlanta’s preparation for the Berlin trip, as shown in their 2024 London game, gives them an edge, improving to 6-4.
Week 11: Bye Week
Analysis: The early bye (earliest since 2017) allows Atlanta to rest and refine their game plan, critical for Penix’s development and defensive adjustments under Jeff Ulbrich.
Week 12: vs. New Orleans Saints (Home, Nov. 23, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Prediction: Win
Analysis: The Saints, in rebuild mode with young quarterbacks like Spencer Rattler or Tyler Shough, are vulnerable. Atlanta’s home dominance against New Orleans (4-2 in recent years) continues, with Penix outplaying the Saints’ inexperienced signal-caller. The Falcons’ defense feasts on a depleted Saints offense, and Robinson runs wild, pushing Atlanta to 7-4.
Week 13: at New York Jets (Away, Nov. 30, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Prediction: Loss
Analysis: The Jets, with Justin Fields at quarterback, present a dual-threat challenge. New York’s elite defense, led by Sauce Gardner, stifles Penix and forces turnovers. Atlanta’s pass rush struggles against Fields’ mobility, and the hostile MetLife Stadium environment rattles the young Falcons. Despite a valiant effort, Atlanta falls to 7-5.
Week 14: vs. Carolina Panthers (Home, Dec. 7, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Prediction: Win
Analysis: The second matchup with Carolina is a must-win at home. The Panthers’ lack of offensive firepower and poor road performance play into Atlanta’s hands. Penix, now comfortable in the system, dissects Carolina’s defense, while the Falcons’ front seven shuts down the run. Atlanta cruises to 8-5, solidifying their divisional standing.
Week 15: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Away, Dec. 11, Thursday Night Football, 8:15 p.m. ET)
Prediction: Loss
Analysis: The rematch in Tampa is critical for NFC South positioning. The Buccaneers, motivated by their Week 1 loss, lean on home-field advantage and a veteran roster. Baker Mayfield exploits Atlanta’s secondary, and Tampa’s defense pressures Penix on a short week. The Falcons fight hard but drop to 8-6 in a tight divisional battle.
Week 16: vs. Seattle Seahawks (Home, Dec. 21, 4:25 p.m. ET)
Prediction: Win
Analysis: Seattle, with Sam Darnold at quarterback, is a middle-tier NFC West team. Atlanta’s home advantage and defensive improvements neutralize Seattle’s passing attack. Penix, familiar with Darnold from his 2024 Vikings performance, avoids mistakes, and the Falcons’ run game controls the clock. Atlanta moves to 9-6, keeping playoff hopes alive.
Week 17: vs. Los Angeles Rams (Home, Dec. 29, Monday Night Football, 8:15 p.m. ET)
Prediction: Win
Analysis: This primetime matchup pits Raheem Morris and Zac Robinson against their former team. The Rams, led by Sean McVay, are formidable, the Birds will win.
Week 18: at New Orleans Saints (Away, Jan. 3/4, TBD)
Prediction: Win
Analysis: The season finale in New Orleans could decide the NFC South. The Saints, likely out of playoff contention, lack the firepower to match Atlanta’s offense. Penix, with a full season of experience, outshines New Orleans’ quarterback, and the Falcons’ defense dominates. Atlanta finishes 11-6, potentially clinching the division or a wild-card spot.
How Will the Falcons’ Season End Up?
- Predicted Record: 13-4
- Wins: at Arizona (Week 5), vs. Miami (Week 8), at New England (Week 9), at Indianapolis (Week 10), vs. New Orleans (Week 12), vs. Carolina (Week 14), at Minnesota (Week 2), vs. Washington (Week 4), vs. Buffalo (Week 6), at San Francisco (Week 7), at New York Jets (Week 13), vs. Seattle (Week 16), vs. Los Angeles (Week 17),
- Losses: (1) vs. Tampa Bay (Week 1), at Carolina (Week 3); at Tampa Bay (Week 15); at New Orleans (Week 18).
- Playoff Outlook: An 13-4 record likely secures the NFC South title, given Tampa Bay’s challenges and the weak division, or at least a wild-card spot. The Falcons’ favorable strength of schedule, offensive talent, and defensive upgrades support a playoff return after a seven-year drought.
Final Word
Can the Falcons win it all this year? It all depends on a lot of factors, including injuries, Penix’s maturity and the defense’s ability to turn the ball over.
The Falcons ranked 31st in sacks and 23rd in total defense in 2024, leading to Jimmy Lake’s firing. Jeff Ulbrich’s scheme, paired with draft picks Jalon Walker, James Pearce Jr., and Xavier Watts, aims to boost the pass rush and secondary. Success against mobile quarterbacks (e.g., Fields, Murray) and strong offenses (e.g., Buffalo, Miami) will determine their ceiling.

With a spooky twist on its signature high-energy vibe, the three-day event promises non-stop action for attendees of all ages, blending world-class competitions, creator meetups, and family-friendly fun under one massive roof.
DreamHack Atlanta: What To Know Before You Go
Now in its latest iteration, DreamHack has become a staple on Atlanta’s event calendar since its U.S. debut here in 2017.
Organized by ESL FACEIT Group, the festival transforms the Georgia World Congress Center (285 Andrew Young International Blvd. NW) into a sprawling playground of pixels and prizes, drawing tens of thousands of visitors from across the globe.
This year’s edition coincides perfectly with All Hallows’ Eve, turning the expo floor into a haunted hotspot complete with trick-or-treating quests, eerie photo ops, and America’s largest Halloween Costume Contest boasting over $20,000 in prizes.
At the heart of the action are the esports arenas, where elite players will vie for glory in a lineup of high-stakes tournaments totaling more than $1 million in prize pools.
DreamHack: What To Expect
Highlights include the Marvel Rivals Ignite Grand Finals, capping off the game’s inaugural competitive season with a whopping $1 million up for grabs as top teams clash on the main stage.
Fans of mobile strategy won’t want to miss the Clash of Clans World Championship Finals and Clash Royale League World Finals, both making their grand finale appearances in the ATL.
Fighting game enthusiasts can catch the SNK World Championship 2025, crowning the global No. 1 in titles like The King of Fighters XV and the hotly anticipated Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
Other can’t-miss matchups feature the DreamHack Knockout for Counter-Strike 2 ($10,000 prize pool, with a shot at ESL Pro League Season 23 qualification), Rainbow Six Siege X (an eight-team showdown for another $10,000), and the massive EA Sports College Football 26 DreamHack Challenge – a single-elimination bracket for 512 players channeling HBCU and SEC rivalries.
Collegiate gamers get their spotlight too, with the second annual DreamHack Collegiate Invitational spanning Valorant and Rocket League.Beyond the brackets, DreamHack Atlanta pulses with interactive energy.
The BYOC LAN zone lets you bring your rig (or console) for endless multiplayer marathons, while the Indie Playground spotlights up-and-coming developers with hands-on demos and audience-voted awards.
Over 100 artists flood Artist Alley with prints, merch, and custom commissions, and the Creator Hub hosts “DreamHack Together!” socials for forging lifelong squadmates.For the cosplay crowd – and who isn’t one during Halloween? – expect epic gatherings, maker workshops, and streamer collabs in the dedicated Cosplay Corner.
The Main Stage amps up with panels like the Hololive English Meet, featuring VTubers Takanashi Kiara, Koseki Bijou, Gigi Murin, Mori Calliope, and Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame for a mix of gaming chats, D&D antics, and seasonal scares.
Don’t sleep on the Geo Guessr Halloween Showdown or the Stream Studio takeovers by Call of Duty and Arc Raiders influencers.
And for aspiring devs, SIEGE – the South’s leading game development conference – runs for one day, blending education with innovation right here in Atlanta’s tech hub.From a local lens, DreamHack isn’t just a con; it’s an economic booster injecting excitement (and dollars) into downtown.
Expect packed sidewalks around the GWCC, with nearby spots like Hudson Grille and Ruth’s Chris Steak House primed for post-gaming feasts just a short stroll away.
The event’s family-friendly bent shines through with accessible activities – think VR Freeplay challenges and “Quest” missions turning the festival into a live-action video game – making it ideal for introducing kids to esports without the intensity. MARTA’s nearby stations and ample parking keep logistics smooth for out-of-towners and locals alike.
How To Get Tickets
Tickets start at $74 for single-day passes, with three-day options available via Tixr – but act fast, as Halloween hype could sell out fast.

Comedian and viral sensation Druski is set to bring his high-energy blend of laughs and hip-hop back to his hometown roots with a stop on his international “Coulda Fest Tour” at State Farm Arena on Saturday, November 22, 2025.
Coulda Fest Tour Hits Atlanta Thanksgiving Week
The arena show, kicking off at 8 p.m. with doors opening at 7 p.m., promises an unforgettable night of comedy sketches, live music performances, and surprise celebrity drop-ins that have become the hallmark of Druski’s live events.
What started as a sold-out inaugural “Coulda Fest” comedy and music festival right here in Atlanta at the same venue last September has evolved into a global tour.
That 2024 event drew massive crowds with appearances from local legends like 21 Savage, GloRilla, Meek Mill, and Waka Flocka Flame, celebrating the city’s rich hip-hop heritage alongside Druski’s signature humor.
Now, nearly 14 months later, Druski is expanding the concept into a full-fledged arena tour that spans continents, starting in London this September before hitting North American hotspots like Toronto, New York, and of course, ATL.
“This won’t be your typical comedy or music tour—it’s going to be a cultural movement full of laughs, great music, and surprise guests,” Druski said in announcing the tour earlier this year.
Fans can expect a dynamic lineup featuring fellow comedian Caleb Pressley, rising rapper BigXthaPlug, hip-hop pioneer Soulja Boy, Brooklyn’s Young M.A., and newcomer Navv Greene, with additional unannounced guests teased to include heavy-hitters from music, sports, and entertainment.Select markets on the tour will even feature appearances from icons like Snoop Dogg and Lil Yachty, adding an extra layer of unpredictability to each show.
Born Drew Desbordes in Columbia, South Carolina, but raised in Atlanta’s vibrant scene, the 30-year-old Druski has skyrocketed to fame through his hilarious Instagram and TikTok sketches that poke fun at everyday Black culture, relationships, and celebrity life.
Named one of Rolling Stone’s “50 People Defining the Next 50 Years of Hip-Hop” and Forbes’ Top Creators Under 30, he’s no stranger to the stage—having opened for Chris Brown and Lil Baby in 2022, hosted J. Cole’s tour in 2021, and sold out his “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda” comedy run in 2023. 21
Beyond the mic, Druski’s entrepreneurial spirit shines through his Coulda Been Records label and hit reality series “Coulda Been House,” where aspiring artists compete for a shot at stardom.
His recent cameo as Justin Bieber’s “therapist” on the pop star’s surprise album SWAG and a viral ESPYs sketch with Shane Gillis have kept him in the headlines, proving his knack for blending comedy with pop culture.
For Atlanta fans, this homecoming feels especially electric
“Druski’s unapologetic ATL energy turned Coulda Fest into a must-attend last year, and bringing it back as a tour stop is like the ultimate victory lap,” said local promoter Keisha Rollins, who worked on the original festival. “Expect the arena to be popping with that same family reunion vibe—folks from Bankhead to Buckhead all vibing together.”
How To Get Tickets
Tickets for the November 22 show are on sale now through Ticketmaster and the State Farm Arena website, starting at around $50 for upper-level seats, with premium options available for VIP experiences.
Parking and ride-share options are recommended given the downtown location at 1 State Farm Drive, and the arena’s clear bag policy will be in effect.
As Atlanta continues to solidify its status as the heartbeat of Southern entertainment, Druski’s Coulda Fest Tour stop is poised to be one of the fall’s hottest tickets.
Whether you’re here for the gut-busting sketches or the surprise bars, one thing’s for sure: in Druski’s world, anything coulda happen.
