Point Spread: +7/-107 Atlanta

Result: Loss

A lot of people are ready to crown the Saints as the second best team in the NFC< but I think the Falcons could change that perception tonight. I'm not saying Atlanta will win this game outright, but I think they keep it closer than a touchdown.

These two teams played back in week 13 with the Saints needing overtime to win 26-23 in Atlanta. The fact that both teams play indoors, takes away from this game being in New Orleans. Each of the last four games in the series have been decided by a field goal, and the underdog has covered the spread in five straight.

Atlanta is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games in December, while the Saints are just 1-9 ATS after covering the spread in 6 or 7 out of their last 8 games since 1992. BET THE FALCONS +7!
