New York Giants vs Atlanta Falcons Prediction

Thick line for a Falcons team that's breaking in a new quarterback in Michael Penix. However, the situation can't be much worse than it was under Kirk Cousins. Also, this line has nothing to do with the Falcons, it has everything to do with the Giants being possibly the worst team in football. The Giants not only have just two wins, but they're 3-10-1 ATS despite being big underdogs weekly. The Giants are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as an underdog of 7 or more points. Give me the Falcons in a blowout, but there are better options out there in week 16.
