10* NFL Game of the Week
(NFL) Detroit vs. Atlanta,
Point Spread: -6.50 | -115.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Loss
This one is simple and not a lot to say here, we are backing the Falcons as home favorites. The Falcons come off a loss to the 49ers and now return home where they have yet to win a home game. The Falcons all year has been they beat up on bad teams and get beat up by good teams.
I expect the same here. This is a terrible spot for the Lions and they likely have a massive let down this week as they come off that outright win as +13 pt dogs against Arizona. Now Goff has landed on the Covid list with a positive test, and his coach says he is unlikely to play.
The Lions will try to run the ball but likely won't have great success as the Falcons the #12 ranked defense vs the run. Take ATL here at home to get a big win and cover.
