Why Bet on the Atlanta Falcons?
It’s been a shaky start to the season for the Falcons, capping their opening game with a 26-point loss to the Eagles followed by a 48-25 loss to the Bucs. This puts the team on the bottom of the standings in the NFC South. Thankfully, there’s still time for first-year head coach Arthur Smith to turn things around. In their losing efforts, we put light on Matt Ryan’s performance that night.
The quarterback did well to record 300 yards on 35 of 46 passing while grabbing 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He holds a pivotal role in the Falcons’ lineup and we look forward to another impressive performance from the 36-year-old.
On the receiving end, Kyle Pitts topped the group with 74 yards on 5 receptions, followed by Calvin Ridley and Corradarrelle Patterson who listed 63 yards and 58 yards, respectively. On top of that, the two scored 1 touchdown each.
Going over Atlanta’s defense in the previous game, Erik Harris led the unit with 5 solo tackles, while Foyesade Oluokun had 9 tackles (4 solo). It was a busy and productive night for the side as Deion Jones, Dante Fowler, Jr., and Marlon Davison filed a sack each. The unit looks solid, with the exception of A.J. Terrell who remains questionable for the next game.
Why Bet on the New York Giants?
Over on the host’s end, they almost scored their first win last weekend against Washington. They were a point shy of stretching the game to overtime, but the Football Team’s 13-point run in the fourth quarter was enough to keep the game out of reach. By the end of the clash, Daniel Jones recorded 249 passing yards on 22 of 32 passing, including a touchdown. The quarterback also topped the rushing plays with 95 yards on 9 carries and another touchdown.
On the receiving end, he enjoyed the services of Sterling Shepard who led the Giants with 94 yards on 9 receptions. Additionally, Darius Slayton was right behind him with 54 points on 3 receptions and the only receiving touchdown of the team.
Defensively, James Bradberry had a spectacular night for the Giants, finishing the night with 7 tackles (6 solo) and an interception. Blake Martinez and Logan Ryan did great as well, claiming 12 tackles (5 solo) and 7 tackles (5 solo), respectively. Azeez Ojulari registered the only sack of the Giants to go with his 1 solo tackle.
Both offense and defense look on pace to give the Falcons a challenge, with the exception of Evan Engram, who remains out of the starting lineup due to injury. Kyle Rudolph holds onto the tight end position while Engram recovers.

Falcons vs. Giants Expert Betting Predictions
Having home-field advantage is a huge plus for the Giants in this matchup. They enter the game as favorites and are eager to grab their first win of the season. After producing good numbers in their previous contest, they can bring in the same momentum against the Falcons. Nonetheless, we shouldn’t overlook the Falcons in this one. Covering the spread should be possible for the team as long as they don’t let their opponents dictate the pace. More than that, even a win is feasible for the Falcons as long as they remain composed.
