Consensus Betting Information

Since 2008 in games Matt Ryan starts

Home record: 26-4

Again, only three teams have beaten Atlanta at home: NO twice, GB in its 15-1 season and Denver in Matt Ryan's rookie year.

AFC record: 13-4

The Falcons have a 3-1 record against the AFC each year for the past 4 years. Since 2009, the team to beat the Falcons from the AFC won their division that same year: HOU(2011), PITT(2010), NE(2009). Atlanta started the year winning against the AFC KC Chiefs.

ESPN MNF record: 0-3

It would seem that the Falcons aren't fans of MNF at all, but closer analysis would reveal that the Falcons played the Saints each of the past three years on Monday night, with each three ending in a loss. This stat has more to do with a tough division rival.

***KEY STAT***

Franchise Atlanta Falcons CB Brent Grimes tore his achilles in the win against KC and will be out for the season. Asante Samuel will start in his place

Best play for this game is over 51. 

ATLANTA - 3

Under 51

My 1of2 best pick on the board: Atl -3

Manning has sold his sole to the devil, but so has Matty Ice.

      In knowing this Atl is a Monster at home. Denver d cant stop them. They could barley stop pitt on 3rd downs.

Good luck Peyton running that no huddle bullshit in the Dome, they wont be able too bro.

Atl -3 is the Bet of the week by far. Yes i like the over as well, But ATL all day.

O yeah Peyton beat up on an injuried pitt Defense as well...

Always a Peyton factor - but I gotta go with my gut on this one.

Hotlanta -3, and I have a feeling this game won't even be close.....

Denver +3 in what should be a fun game.
