Use 5dimes for teasers, they do teaser protect which usually shades towards dogs:

I'm sort of torn on this game.
You mention Falcons winning because they are not turning the ball over. Is that something we should overlook?
With Foles back there now I think it deserves a little more merit.
Turnovers may be exactly what determines this game.

GL.

I like the teaser but probably staying away from spread.
Thanks again LC always look forward to your intuitive posts!

So why then have they won the last 2 games by a combined 48-23 score? Turnovers. The Falcons have committed 0 turnovers, while forcing 5. +5 turnover margin over the past 2 weeks is the only reason the Falcons are still in this tournament.

If the Falcons continue playing mistake free football -> they are playing good football. Good team playing good football will win lots of game. If they have zero turnover this week-end, they have hign chance of continuing their run in the post season.
The first and greatest victory is to conquer self

Yes. Capping games hoping you win the turnover margin is not very good long-term.

Well, lucky for me I am thinking short term, haha.
Like just this Eagles game against a QB that his looked very rough lately. Timing may be everything here!

Capper, I ask you this my friend.... Philly does not have a great running attack and Foles at QB... that scares me. I totally agree with you that Atlanta is way overvalued, but at least they have a balanced attack and a seasoned playoof QB. Personally, I like Atlanta's defense better too. I'm taking ATL. and the under.  GL all.  --- THE Myth

Eagles are overrated my friend! They feasted off a cup cake schedule and rode some good momentum this year but overall without Wentz they are done stick a fork in them Falcons have the ingredients to win this game and they will

Falcons will be able to get the offence going against the 17th ranked passing defence. Falcons -3 is the play. That defence is playing lights out and will force Foles to beat them through the air. Good luck on your bet!

i think there is Value with the Eagles but alot of this depends on Foles...Hes only played a couple of games this year and many people will judge him off the bad performance on Monday Night vs the Raiders.. Hes now had a few weeks off and will be ready to go.. If the  Same Foles from MOnday night shows up Saturday its not going to be good...GL

Let me first be clear, yes I am a philly fan born and raised.  Yes I am nervous about this game without Wentz.  Yes I think we can lose based on Foles making crucial mistakes.  The one thing I will say about ATL's last 2 games and their 5 turnovers are this... Cam Newton is not a great passing qb and is known to have games like the one he had against ATL.  Those turnovers in my opinion are a product of Cam being Cam not ATL defense being some takeaway machine.  As for the Rams game, both turnovers were from muffed punt returns.  Yes they are turnovers but they are not take aways.  I say this because it somewhat backs up the theory of ATL D play being a tad over valued.  Rams were taken out of their game because of these turnovers not because ATL took the ball from them.  All this being said, I am not counting out the Falcons but I will say the Eagles for sure have a good chance to win this game.  I feel like its going to be an old school grind it out low scoring game.  I hope my Birds can pull out the victory and love being a live dog at home in the playoffs!  Fly Eagles fly!!!!

HUGE Falcons fan here... LOVE my team. BUT... this has stinky fish written all over it. Eagles will come out on fire because for weeks now they've been told they can't do it (media, vegas, etc.) and the Defense for them will get it done imo. I hope to God I'm wrong. Pulling for my Falcons... but Eagles will win 20-16.

Falcons will light the Eagles up--Nick Foles is brutal and will not be able to keep up with the Falcons.  I see Suddfeld in by the 3rd qtr in an easy 27-10 Falcons Victory.

HUGE Saints fan here... You are right . Your Birds will not be able to pull this one out. However, here in Big easy evryone is hoping they do. Because if Saints can pull an upset , there would be a huge game here in the dome. Just imagine. NFL would love that.
