NEW ORLEANS AT ATLANTA
Line: Falcons -2.5
Over/Under: 50
At first glance it appears the league?s attempt at making late-season matchups more meaningful has worked. Atlanta (12-2 SU) is one of three NFC teams that has guaranteed itself a berth in the playoffs (Chicago, Philadelphia) but the stakes for tonight?s contest are still high.
ATLANTA WINS!
If QB Ryan can engineer a straight-up (SU) win tonight it locks up the NFC South title and puts pressure on the Saints to rebound next week vs. Tampa Bay. The Falcons, not to mention every other team in the NFC would breathe a lot easier knowing the defending champs were out.
NEW ORLEANS WINS!
Aside from pushing the Saints "Over" their Season Win Total of 10.5 (-130), a win tonight forces Atlanta to win-out if it wants to take the division title. Regardless of what the Falcons do next week, a win tonight guarantees the Saints a Wild Card spot.
MONDAY NIGHT PICK
Online sportsbooks opened this line at Falcons -2.5 and with Matt Ryan?s 19-1 SU record at home; Atlanta is fetching 62-percent support so far (as relayed to us by Sportsbetting.com).
Atlanta has faced a tougher strength of schedule than the Saints, including three-straight road games leading up to this matchup, and with the Saints coming off a loss at Baltimore we look for a strong performance from Drew Brees and the passing game. Playoff positioning hinges on this primetime, NFC South showdown and for our money, the underdog is the play.
Take the Saints
