Falcons favored over Commanders in opening odds for Sunday’s tilt

, Atlanta has opened as two-point favorites against Washington on Sunday, per DraftKings Sportsbook.

The Falcons’ offense finally came alive against the Texans, with quarterback Desmond Ridder playing his best game as a pro. Ridder finished the afternoon 28/37 with 329 passing yards and a touchdown. He also added a score on the ground in the first quarter.
