Packers vs. Falcons Odds
(The Spread) – The NBC Sunday Night Football matchup will be a rematch of the NFC Divisional Round playoffs last season.
Oddsmakers have installed the Green Bay Packers as 5.5-point road favorites against the host Atlanta Falcons for tonight’s 8:20PM ET kickoff. The over/under total for this contest is currently sitting at 53 points.
It’s no surprise to see the line jump from Green Bay –4 to Atlanta +5.5 with the way the Packers destroyed the Falcons in last year’s playoffs. Aaron Rodgers absolutely lit up an overmatched Atlanta defense and Green Bay rolled to a 48-21 victory before advancing to the NFC Championship Game. Seeing as how 78% of NFL bettors currently favor the Packers –5.5 in this matchup, it seem as though the public believes Green Bay could roll again.
