For the third straight week, Atlanta's coming in favored over their opponent. Let's hope the team keeps the good times rolling.
We're back with another edition of "Are the Atlanta Falcons favored this week?" The answer, we're proud to announce, is yes.
The Falcons opened the week as nine point favorites, which has since slipped down every so slightly into the 7.5-8 point range, depending on where you turn. The point total of 47.5 is the week's third-highest projected total, meaning Vegas sees another high-scoring contest here, either because Atlanta and Washington both put a ton of points on the board, or because Atlanta stomps Washington and the latter gets a ton of garbage time points.
