The Atlanta Falcons are coming off a disappointing 2014 campaign that saw them go 6-10 straight up and 7-9 against the spread.
However, the Falcons started off last year by pulling off a 37-34 overtime victory against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1 as three-point home underdogs to improve to 6-0 ATS in season openers at the Georgia Dome since 1999.
