(11-5, 9-7 Against the Spread): +2000 to win Super Bowl XLIV


Bet on the Atlanta Falcons this season at our number 1 rated sportsbook BookMaker.com


The pressure is on Ryan and Falcons to repeat last season’s surprise. It will be tough with a nasty schedule awaiting them. Atlanta has the fourth-toughest slate in the NFL – thanks in part to a challenging NFC South. If betting on the Falcons this season, bettors should be wary of playing them in the first half of the year but could jump on the wagon when things cool down in a weaker second-half schedule.

Falcons Strength:

Running back Michael Turner proved he is an elite back last season after years rushing behind LaDainian Tomlinson in San Diego. Turner ran for just under 1,700 yards and scored 17 touchdowns, lifting the Falcons to the second-best ground game in the NFL. He had a league-high 376 carries and should have a similar workload this year with a solid offensive line plowing the road.

Another big surprise last season was the lightning-fast maturation of Matt Ryan. In just his first year in the pros, the Boston College product led the Falcons to the playoffs and passed for more than 3,400 yards. Ryan did show his inexperience, failing to recognize different schemes and coverage. But with a full season under his belt and the addition of Hall of Fame TE Tony Gonzalez, along with No. 1 WR Roddy White, Ryan will continue to blossom into one of the best young pivots in the league.

All Atlanta's offensive success can be credited to the offensive line. They gave up just 17 sacks in 2008 and helped the team average 152 yards on the ground. Center Todd McClure is the rock of the group while top prospect Sam Baker is back from injury and watching Ryan's blind side.

Falcons Weakness:

The Falcons’ defense suffers from a lack of pop. They don't really have any monster gamebreakers in the front seven or secondary. The 4-3 defense had 34 sacks on the year with the majority of those coming from DE John Abraham. Atlanta is hoping draft pick DT Peria Jerry can give the stop unit some beef in the middle. The team did add LB Mike Peterson to the mix, who gives them some speed but also some locker-room friction.

The Falcons managed to pick off just 10 passes last year while allowing teams to throw for over 220 yards per game. They lost corner Domonique Foxworth to Baltimore and are now left with Chris Houston and some unproven talent. Safety Erik Coleman has a nose for the ball at free safety and picked off three passes in 2008.

Time Team
Florida vs. Cincinnati Pick

With emotions running high on both sides of the ball, one team (Florida) will benefit greatly. The other will suffer an embarrassing loss on New Year’s Day. Cincinnati is playing without former head coach Brian Kelly, who led the Bearcats to significant success in recent years

Bills vs Falcons Pick

Again we have a match up of teams that played very similar games last week. However, the difference is that one of these teams won a close fought boring game, and the other lost. The Giants win on Monday night eliminates Atlanta from the playoffs this year while Buffalo was eliminated when they signed Terrell Owens in the offseason.

Saints vs Falcons Pick

If you have been following my column all year you know I always love a juicy dog and we have one here. We bet the Falcons +10 on Monday Night Football against the Saints a few weeks ago when nobody else did, and we won. We are taking Atlanta again here

Buccaneers vs Falcons Pick

Atlanta showed a lot of character ,with their late rally against the Giants last week.They really are a pretty good team. Unfortunately they might miss the playoffs now. They can’t catch the Saints, and that loss might hurt them down the road for a wild card spot

Oklahoma State vs Oklahoma Pick

Not quite the same allure as the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma, but this week’s Bedlam Rivalry game is Oklahoma State’s Super Bowl. The Cowboys have had a tremendous season so far and Oklahoma is sitting at 6-5, ensured of its worst season since 1999

Virginia Tech vs Virginia Pick

Virginia coach Al Groh has beaten the Cavaliers’ arch rival Hokies just one time in his nine years at UVA. He and the Cavaliers look to make that number two and possibly avoid his firing this Saturday in Charlottesville. The Hokies are in a down year at 8-3 and will not contend for the ACC Championship,

Alabama vs Auburn Pick

Despite an 11-0 record up to this point, Alabama still realistically needs to win its next two games to get into the National Championship. With Florida a perfect 11-0 as well, the Crimson Tide will need to beat Auburn this week and Florida in the SEC Championship

Nevada vs Boise State Pick

Boise State doesn’t play too many home games where they are only 14 point favorites, but that is exactly what they are this week when Nevada comes to play on the blue turf. Boise State needs a win this week, and badly. Though the Broncos are 11-0, their only hope for a BCS appearance

Raiders vs Cowboys Pick

At first glance you might think that it was quite a shocker that Oakland beat Cincinnati last week, but at we said the Bengals were coming off their biggest win in years and might be flat. We also felt that Jamarcus Russell was hindering the Raider offense and the switch to anybody but he was the correct move

Falcons vs Giants Pick

At the time of the writing of the column there was no line on this game due to the uncertain status of Falcon running back Michael Turner. The Giants needed a bye 2 weeks earlier, after the Arizona loss to regroup, but that wasn’t the case. They were wounded against New Orleans

Falcons vs Panthers Betting

We made money on Carolina +12.5 at New Orleans last week,but were disappointed that Carolina didn’t win the game outright. Late mistakes in the second half cost them the game. Atlanta however rolled over Washington like we said they would.

Redskins vs Falcons Pick

Atlanta +10 made us money last week on Monday Night Football at New Orleans. We almost made more money on Atlanta +450 on the money line. The Falcons had many chances to win that game. They missed 2 field goals

Falcons vs Saints Pick

Finally a game that we feel good about betting. The Saints have been playing great while Atlanta was playing very well till they looked flat vs. Dallas last week. New Orleans looked flat at Miami last week also. Maybe both teams were looking ahead to this week.

Falcons vs Cowboys Pick

This will be a very good game. Dallas had a week off to try to correct what was wrong with this team. This year teams that have been coming off byes have been playing extremely well. The Falcons are a better team them the Cowboys, period.

Bears vs Falcons Pick

What got into the Falcons last week? We thought that they were a good team, but they had 2 weeks to prepare for last weeks game at San Francisco and demolished a good 49ers team.

Falcons vs 49ers Pick

Boy, the 49ers, under new Coach Mike Singletary are playing great. It goes to show you how, a little discipline, goes a long way. More than in any other sport, coaching really can make the difference in the NFL.

Chargers vs Dolphins Pick

Both of these teams have problems. Miami really can’t play offense at the N.F.L. level. They look like a college or high school team at times, with their “Wildcat” offense and their quarterback who throws the ball like a shot put. Another quarterback, who has a funky delivery is Phillip Rivers

Giants vs Buccaneers Pick

This game scares me, not only as a Giant fan but as a bettor. This is a trap game for the Giants. After 2 huge wins against division rivals, Dallas and Washington, they now play 3 games in a row versus bad teams

Packers vs Rams

The next 2 games that we are picking, we are going a little bit out on a limb. There are 2 home dogs that both played very well last week as huge underdogs. Both teams had opportunities to win outright but didn’t.

Carolina vs Falcons betting

Boy did Carolina look bad last week. And boy did Atlanta look good last week. The Panthers got killed by Philly, and Atlanta was shutting out a good pretty good Miami team till a late garbage touchdown made the score a deceptive 19-7.

Dolphins vs Falcons 2009 Betting Preview

It’s kind of appropriate that these 2 teams meet to open the season. They both were 2 of the biggest surprises last year. One of these teams however will be in the mix this year, the other will not.

Falcons at the Lions - Preseason 2009

The Falcons must have thought a lot of wide receiver Roddy White, who finished 2008 with 88 receptions for 1,382 yards and 7 touchdowns.

Monday Night Football Betting Monday Night Football Betting

Probably the most well known handicapping angle is the “Monday Night Home Underdog.”

Betting on bad weather games Betting on bad weather games

Stop thinking about rain by itself as a bad weather indicator. Look at the mix of wind, turf quality, and precipitation. It's the mix that matters, not one third of the mix.

Beating NFL 1st Quarter Lines Beating NFL 1st Quarter Lines

Bettors no longer have to look at mere sides and/or game totals to strike it rich as mostly all the online sports books (and many Las Vegas) outlets provide first and second half wagering lines along with quarter by quarter prices too on football betting.
