Falcons open as ever-so-slight favorites over Packers

Fresh on the heels of its season-opening win over the Carolina Panthers (+3)

, the Atlanta Falcons (+1) prepare to host the Green Bay Packers (-1) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday. Atlanta has dropped its previous two meetings against Green Bay, most recently when it fell 16-30 in 2020 at Lambeau.

Per DraftKings Sportsbook, the Falcons opened as one-point favorites, which considering its a game in Atlanta, could be considered a wash. Essentially: bookmakers really don’t know what to make of these two teams as Week 2 draws near.

The Falcons’ showcased its dynamic ground attack against Carolina, with 131 combined rushing yards and two touchdowns between Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier.
