The intriguing matchup of the game is certainly the Falcons’ top-ranked offense against the Patriots’ top-ranked defense. However, fans probably trust the Patriots’ offense more than they do the Falcons’ defense. Atlanta is still somewhat unproven on that side of the ball while Brady and the New England offense averages 28.4 points per game. New England has also been great at the betting window this season, going 15-3 against the spread. The Falcons are no slouch, going 12-6 ATS. Atlanta was also 5-1 against the spread when an underdog.
