A couple of up-and-down teams will get together in Atlanta on Sunday when the Falcons host the Packers. The Falcons opened as a favorite for the game which is a spot they’ve been horrible in, as they’ve gone 0-10 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. They're also just 2-8 SU during that stretch as a favorite which suggests there’s plenty of value in a Packers moneyline wager.
- Matt Ryan has thrown for 300 or more yards in four of his last five games at home.
- The Packers are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games in October.
- The Packers are 7-1 SU in their last eight games on the road after losing their most recent road game.
After looking like one of the NFL’s top teams for a four-game stretch from Week 2 to 5, Atlanta has dropped two straight. They now have losses at home this season to both Tampa Bay and San Diego which is probably all the evidence we need that they’re more of a pretender than a contender.
The game opened with a total of 52.5 points, which is the highest mark of the week. Atlanta has gone OVER in six of their seven games this season and their leaky defense that's allowed 15 passing TDs — tied for second-worst in the NFL — should allow Aaron Rodgers to pad his stats. Rodgers is coming off his best performance of the season where he threw for 326 yards and three TDs vs the Bears.
