We like the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night for a number of reasons. Here are some of the most important ones.

1. The Chiefs are the champions but they've been barely getting by in a lot of games for a long time. They were fortunate to beat the Bengals by 1 point. Baltimore was an inch away from taking them to OT.

2. The Falcons are an up and coming team. They won their last game, first win for their new coach. Their confidence is soaring and their defense is top notch.

3. The Falcons are going to be sky high for a primetime home game against the defending champions. This is a game they had circled as soon as the schedule was released.

4. The Chiefs are without Pacheco, their best running back.

5. Mahomes gets all the hype, along with Kelce and Swift of course. But Mahomes hasn't even been playing that well. He was intercepted twice last week and threw for only 151 yards.

We like Atlanta to win this game outright but with both teams off 1-point wins, we are more than happy to grab the extra points.
