somehow came out on the winning end of a wacky affair against the Carolina Panthers (+8). The win moved the Falcons into first place in the NFC South, a division so bereft in victories that an Atlanta loss would have meant a four-way tie for first.
Things are just that weird (bad) in the 2022 iteration of the NFC South.
Despite (or perhaps because of) the win, the Falcons opened up as three-point underdogs against the Chargers, who head into Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday. The over/under has been set at 49.
