The only thing crashing harder out the gates than the Atlanta Falcons is the betting lines. Atlanta went from a 3.5 point favorite to a 12.5 underdog in only a week.
And it has felt exactly like that sort of week.
Falcons fans have learned again and again to not bet on the Falcons. Think of all the better things you could do with that money, like:
- Go back to college
- Add guacamole to that burrito
- Pour money directly into the garbage disposal
I noted last week that Week 1 is usually a mess across the league leading to some odd scoring (or in Atlanta’s case, the lack thereof).
