The Falcons will be fighting to end a 2-game losing skid when they visit the Detroit Lions Thursday at Ford Field.
Detroit brings a 4-6 overall mark (1-3 in the division) into this game versus an Atlanta team carrying a 6-4 record.
Oddsmakers like the Falcons in this one, opening the line at 3 in favor of Atlanta. They are 5-5 ATS this season, while the Lions are 6-4. The total, which is 6-4 to the OVER in Lions games and 6-4 to the OVER in Falcons games, has been set at 40.5.
Jim Mora, Jr.'s team hopes to rebound from a 30-27 loss at the hands of Tampa Bay. They were 6-point favorites and failed to cover the spread. The game went over the total.
Detroit, on the other hand, are home to shake off a loss last time out against Dallas. They were 8-point underdogs and ended up on the wrong end of a 20-7 score, in a game that went under the closing total of 39.
Detroit knows that beating the Falcons depends on stopping the run. Atlanta will hit them with a ground game that has averaged 175.8 yards per game this season, #1 in the league.
Some trends to consider:
Atlanta is 7-17-0 OU in its last 24 away
Atlanta is 2-4-0 ATS in its last 6 games
Atlanta is 2-4-0 ATS in its last 6 games after being 3.5 to 7 point favorites
Atlanta is 4-2-0 SU in its last 6 games after scoring 21 to 30 points
Detroit is 4-1-0 ATS in its last 5 home games
Detroit is 4-1-0 ATS in its last 5 games after being 7.5 to 10 point underdogs
Detroit is 2-4-0 ATS in its last 6 games after scoring less than 10 points
Detroit is 2-6-0 ATS in its last 8 games against Atlanta
