2-Unit Play. Take #451 Atlanta (+1) over Philadelphia (8 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 6)
1-Unit Play. Take 'Under' 45.0 Atlanta at Philadelphia (8 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 6)
I feel like the defending champs are in a little bit of trouble out of the gate. And this spot sets up well for the Falcons. The Eagles have seen the usual amount of post-Super Bowl roster turnover and are missing some key guys from last year. They are also still without Carson Wentz. I like Nick Foles. He could be a starter for a dozen teams in the NFL. But he's been banged up this preseason and he's looked pretty bad when he's been out there. Let's be honest: he caught lightning in a bottle late last year and rode that to a title. But that momentum isn't going to carry over here. The Falcons have revenge after a tight loss in the playoffs last season. And the Eagles may be distracted by all the Super Bowl champion hoopla tonight. I think the Falcons come to play and I like them to get this win.
4-Unit Play. Take #451-452 Atlanta/Philadelphia GAME TOTAL UNDER 45 (Thursday, September 6th at 8:30 PM ET)
Take Atlanta/Philadelphia GAME TOTAL UNDER as my 4-Unit NFL Smash for Thursday night. This pick falls into one of my top NFL systems and I have this game staying well under the posted total tonight. The O/U is 0-7 for the Falcons in their last 7 games against a conference opponent and the O/U is 6-12 for the Eagles in their last 18 home games. The Eagles will have to step up defensively if they want a shot at winning this game with all of the injuries they have offensively. You can also expect the Eagles to work the clock with their ground game in this home opener tonight with a healthy Ajayi in the backfield who practiced fully this week. The Eagles allowed just 12.4 ppg at home last season and just 5 ppg in the first half on their home games last season, while the Falcons allowed just 12.7 ppg over their last 3 games last season. Play the UNDER.
3-Unit Play. Take #451 Atlanta (+1) over Philadelphia (8 p.m., Thursday, September 6)
The Falcons were one Julio Jones jumpball away from taking out the eventual Super Bowl Champions last year in the playoffs. Atlanta is the same team only more potent offensively this year so this game could spell trouble for the Eagles. Philly is nursing a hang over the size of the Liberty Bell after they won their first title ever last year and with Nick Foles starting game one (Wentz is still out) they are at a major disadvantage in this one. They still have weapons, although Alshon Jeffery is out, and will be able to move the ball at times but the Foles magic will be tested with a fast and hungry Atlanta defense. Its is always great when football is back but the Eagles may need a few weeks for the dust to settle before they know if they can repeat. Take the Points but Atlanta has a chance to take this one outright.

"Ideal result as of now would be an Eagles win that covers all number -4 and down. A high-scoring game would be ideal as well, but Eagles covering is a bigger need."
