The Atlanta Falcons' 2024 schedule came out Wednesday and revealed an early-season gauntlet that includes four playoff teams from last year in the first five games.

But Atlanta's strength of schedule remains one of the league's easiest - and the betting odds continue to favor a strong season ahead for the first-year pairing of head coach Raheem Morris and quarterback Kirk Cousins.
