(291) Atlanta Falcons at (292) Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia opened the season with a 34-29 win over Green Bay and covered as a 1.0-point favorite. That victory made the Eagles 21--11 in their last 32 games played. Philadelphia is a very profitable 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13 as a home favorite of 8.0 or less.
Atlanta opened the season with a disappointing 18-10 home loss versus Pittsburgh, The Falcons were only able to amass 226 yards of total offense in that game and were -3 in the turnover department. The Falcons are an abysmal 0-8 SU&ATS in their last 8 non-division away games and were outscored by an average of 11.0 points per contest. As a matter of fact, the Falcons have gone a poor 10-22 SU in their last 32 away games.
Any NFL Monday night home favorite 0f 9.0 or less playing before Game 7 that is coming off a favorite ATS cover by 20.5-points or fewer, and they won 19 or more of their previous 32 games, versus an opponent who has won 16 or fewer of their last 32 away games, resulted in those Monday night home favorites going 14-0 SU&ATS since 1983. The average margin of victory during those 15 contests came by 13.2 points per game.
Give me the Philadelphia Eagles minus points.
