4* NFC Game of the Week on Cardinals +10
While the knee-jerk reaction might be to jump on the Falcons at home in a bounce spot against the struggling Cardinals, history says to do otherwise.

Consider that plays against home favorites that check in off a road loss and are matched up against an opponent that checks in off a road loss of 14 points or more are 17-5 ATS the last 5 seasons and a perfect 2-0 ATS this season.

History also tells us not to doubt Whisenhunt's Cards against good teams. Under his watch, the Cardinals are an impressive 13-5 ATS versus teams that outscore their opponents by an average of 6.0 points or more per game. They have lost in this situation by only 1.1 points on average.

It is also worth noting that the Cards are on a 25-9 ATS run against top-notch teams that have won better than 75.0 percent of their games. They have lost to these teams by only 2.3 points on average. Take the points.
