I gotta say I am quite entertained reading all the people taking the Skins…and laughing hysterically at people saying the Skins are going to win straight up.

I’m not going to give this subject too much of my time because I don’t feel it is worthy…but I would like to start a discussion because I don’t want to see people lose money this weekend.

The Texans defense is better than the Redskins and we saw Atlanta TORCH them for 48. The Texans mustered 3 GARBAGE time TD’s and still lost by 27.

The Redskins secondary is deplorable going up against arguably the BEST WR in football. To be honest I think the Barrow Whalers from Football Town have a better secondary. (lol jk)

For all the people who look at metrics, trends, statistics….let your eyes do the judging for you. Matt Ryan is going to have a field day. I do think the Redskins defense will bottle up D Freeman a bit.

The Georgia Dome is gonna be bumping. I personally don’t like any spreads over 6.5… unless I am betting in favor of the Pats or Packers… that’s just me personally.

That being said… I am locked in at -7 on the Falcons.

Falcons win BIG…

Matt Ryan 300+ yards 4 TDs

PS: They are not the most overrated 4-0 team. The Panthers success will evaporate as Cam and Olsen can't play 110% every week.

You have no idea what you are talking about. WAS defense is better in every category when compared to HOU and is actually top 10 in each defensive category. Here's the proof:

Wash D:
Points (10th)
Yards (4th)
Pass yards (9th)
Rush yards (2nd)

Houston D:
Points (27th)
Yards (11th)
Pass yards (11th)
Rush yards 22nd)

now go read/study before you make claims without even taking the time to look things up.

was leaning skins but the fact that their #1 CB is questionable and #2 is out means I will most likely be on the Falcons. Probable teaser but with over as well

I definitely agree with you on your points.  This Skins team has been terrible the past couple of years..2012 (3-13), 2014 (4-12).. their road victories versus non-divisional opponents came against, Oakland....The simple fact this Skins team most significant victory versus non-divisional opponent was versus SD in OT shows me they have yet to prove they can, A) keep up with this current Falcons team and B) beat a good quality non divisional opponent on the road.  On the Skins side I do think their run D is better than average. This is just from looking at their performances YTD.. holding all 4 teams they have faced to under 100 yards rushing.  Do I think Freeman has another multi-td game...I would say no, but do I think Julio and Hankerson have big games...Yes, I do. I have been reading about how Thursday's game vs the Saints will affect the outcome and maybe a backdoor cover. Part of me agrees, but if anything I can see a cover by ATL...10 or more added with a Saints vs loss vs PHI on the road and then the letdown of ATL vs NO on Thursday.  The only other angle I can see Skins covering is a couple of years ago these two teams played and Cousins was the QB, they only lost by a point, but both teams finished 3-13, and 4-12 respectively.

What do recent years have to do with this year when the team is completely revamped? They have added players to finish 6-10 to 8-8. Don't look at recent results without looking at a team's development.

To the OP: the Redskins defense has been playing very good, especially their front-seven and based on weeks 1-4 they are clearly one level ahead of the Texans.

I also don't believe the Redskins can beat the Falcons with those key injuries but the Falcons have the Saints on deck, a backdoor cover isn't impossible.

Falcons have a cupcake schedule. Washington's another cupcake team but i wouldn't take them lightly. aside from pummeling Dallas, i see the score more in line with the Giants and Eagles meetings where Falcons won by 4 and 2 points. 

everyone's all over the Falcons after back to back blowouts.  i do not expect the Falcons to win by double digits. teams that win by +20 are in for a letdown next game. 75% of consensus on Falcons. Vegas will be making a killing here 


Sip on that plus money honey!

ATL is 4-0 ATS.
The most amount of points WAS has scored is 24, the least amount ATL has scored is 24.
The better bet on WAS is on the 1H, where they are 3-1. ATS and straight up.

Probably the best bet is ATL in thr second half.

Classic case of the "Kirk Cousins road fade". 

In that dome, with that raucous fan base, supporting a 4-0 team and some of you want to bet Cousins and the Skins here?

The Skins top two CB's are hurting with Hall OUT against a team that loves to throw the ball and has arguably the best WR in football on their team? 

Who cares about the Saints on Thursday night? The Saints stink and the Falcons know it. I dont buy into the look ahead here. 

Falcons cover easily.

Atlanta went into the game 4-0ATS. 

I bet Washington just based on that. You had to expect them to falter at some point and having to lay a TD against a good defensive team was the spot IMO.
