Falcons on the road aren't safe giving 7 IMO... but if they lose I will be shocked, putting them in a teaser seems like the best option for this game

for me i would tease the falcons with another team in this spot. if it were monday night i might consider the colts, but i just cannot at this point knowing they probably don't give it a shit. i did not say they quit, but they surely have not given the needed effort in the nfl to win games, you don't just show up and win. also the peyton manning injury is a fukkking joke, nobody is worth 13 wins to a team, nobody. the colts mailed it in, all of them. they are a bunch of pussys for not having the balls to do what it takes to get a win. sorry bunch of front runners, no wonder they never won squat until they faced sexy rexy in the superbowl.

You are right about the Falcons not being a good road team but that is bc most road games bring them outdoors. The Falcons and esp Ryan are much better in domes for some annoying reason. That said, as a Falcon fan this game makes me nervous. Bye weeks this year are different and we've seen some teams come out hot like Philly and others cold. I'd probably lay off of this game.

I think the smarter play would be to tease the Colts up to 13, but I'm thinking I'll probably lay off this game.

entire thread disagrees, therefore ATL -7 = huge play

Failcants are one of the more soft teams you will find, especially noodle boy QB. He is only marginally effective @ home but still marginal.

Looks for the Failcants to follow in the Taints footsteps.

I wouldn't assume that the Colts are "giving up" on the year. This is the NFL, they're going to go out there and play to win the game. That being said, I think ATL wins this one for sure, but am not sure about laying 7 on the road.

My advice is never lay points on the road. This ML parlay seems like a winner

Falcons ML
Saints ML
Patriots ML

I agree that the Falcons are good at indoor turf stadiums. Like they defeat the Lions at their stadium, it's going to be similar at the Colts stadium.

As long the Falcons are not playing at an outdoor grass stadium they should be able to cover the spread here.
