Money Line: -118.00 Arizona (Away)
Result: Loss
The Arizona Cardinals come into Atlanta with a 9-2 record, and they have little room for error as Seattle is closing in on them in the battle for the NFC West. The Falcons have really struggled, last week losing at home to the Browns. I like Arizona to pick up another win over an inferior opponent in Atlanta.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Falcons Defense - Atlanta's defense ranks dead last in the NFL against the pass, allowing opponents to average 284 passing yards per game. They aren't much better against the run, ranking 24th, allowing over 125 rushing yards per game.
2. Arizona Pass Rush - The Cardinals are likely to make life tough for Matt Ryan today, they've sacked opposing quarterbacks 17 times in their last three games, and they rank second in the NFL with 15 INTs.
3. X-Factor - All three of Atlanta's wins this season have come against teams with a losing record.
Selection: This is a play on the Arizona Cardinals (10*)
