Atlanta Falcons vs New Orleans Saints Prediction
The New Orleans Saints are a mess right now, as they've lost 7 straight games and are 1-6 ATS in those games. The Saints just lost to the Panthers and then responded by firing their coach. The Atlanta Falcons are far and away the more trustworthy team, the offense has picked up, and the defense keeps getting timely stops. The Falcons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. I can't get behind the Saints. Give me the Falcons by a touchdown on the road.
