2* Atlanta +3 (-130)
Was surprised to see local shop had this at +2.5, so bought the half and rounded it up. Atlanta's home opener off a horrendous showing in Chicago in week 1 at home against old Falcon and renound dog lover Mike Vick and his Eagles. The Dome should be electric, and I like that Philly is on the road for a second straight week, and have the NY Giants on deck. The perception is Eagles were great last week and Atlanta looked like crap, and with all the preseason hype on Philly, it is no surprise they are getting backed at a 3 to 1 clip. Matt Ryan has been a solid play at home, going 20-3 SU, and over the last 3 years the Falcons are 13-1-1 against spread in games coming off a loss. This game is the Falcons chance to make a statement for the 2011-2012 season.
Reg Season 3-2 (+0.82)
