Atlanta is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against the NFC. The under is 5-2 in Atlanta’s last 7 games on grass. Washington is 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games on grass. The under is 8-2 in Washington’s last 10 home games. The road team is 5-0 ATS in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Washington comes into this game on a two game winning streak and they have won four of their last five games. Atlanta has lost two of their last three games, but they are coming off of a win against Chicago. Washington’s defense has been solid this season and I think they will shut down the Falcons running game. I like the under here.
