why ATL (@ten) not favored by more (?)

[tball]

Kid i work with asked me as much, saying why arent Falcons favored by more, now that feeble titans, just lost mariota and now turn to mettenberger, with running game to speak of

cant wrap head around why falcons 'shouldnt' just blow doors off of tits.


((i know what should happens, hardly ever comes to fruition in nfl - though would appreciate any ideas, substantiation on why should not play falcons -- thanks in advance))

I too am left wondering about the low line...


We know that....

the line opened at 4.5 with Mariota being questionable ...now that he's ruled out the line has crawled up to 6.

Division sandwich for Falcons
But get the benefit of extra rest and preparation from having played last Thursday.

Titans in 3rd straight HG.
They have below average RBs and a porous O line that has permitted 20 sacks in five games.
Watch out Zach !!!


Trend backing TEN: 5-1 teams in Game Seven, off their1st loss of the season, are just 2-6 ATS when favored off a favorite loss.

Plus TEN doesn't play inside the comforts of a dome and they play on grass not turf.


The weather calls for 40% showers/storms ...so far

tenn needs a lightning strike from mettenbergers arm, handful of to's (to which atl has been scary stingy about up until now) and then, they might be able to stay within line, have chance to pull it out at end.


if my stats are right, maybe wrong - only 4 ints and 8 fumbles, losing 4 - so only 8 turnovers committed by ATL - all of wich happened in 3 games, meaning 3 other games they didnt commit one at all

last 2 games -

wash, 2 ints, 3 fums, 1 lost
n orl, 0 ints, 5 fums, 3 lost


do they get back to being ball secure or does their lower than norm TO avg start to level off?

mettenberger 0-6 su, 1-5 ats in games started

they go as he goes..

if he is still limping there are better value plays on the board..
