Can anyone give me any legitimate reason Atlanta isn't the pick Saturday? My numbers have this line at Atlanta -10............

As I posted in a thread below, I thought Atlanta had secured home field and a bye for the playoffs. So they should be resting players and avoiding injuries. Nothing to play for.

Again, please correct me if this is wrong. :0008

Atlanta needs one more win to lock up home field. I just don't see Detroit putting up much of a fight in this one. They will be thinking about Christmas and the off season and not this game. Atlanta will be focused and ready.

I just think Atlanta takes this one by 7 minimum even if Detroit decides to show up.

This will likely be my biggest bet of the year.

I was tempted to hammer the hell out of Atlanta, too. There is one main factor that stopped me. If Detroit has even an ounce of pride left, you know that they will put it all on the line in a prime time at home with the world watching. The Cowardly Lions do have a horrible record, but they have played the other good teams in the NFL very well at home. They lost by 4 to GB and 3 to Houston at home, so keep that in mind before unloading on this one.

Having said all that, these are the Lions. They may have given up and not have any pride left. It is too much of an unknown factor for me to put any coin on the game either way at this point. Good luck!

I like atl in this game. They have played well on the road, also they really want/need to have home field in playoffs to have a shot at going to the ship. I'll prolly wait and see if it goes down to 3 but will lay if it goes back up to 4.

Nickel play for me... :0074
