    Atlanta is -7????

    I don't care who they are playing, Atlanta is not 7 points better than anyone.

    Have to agree the line looks too high. ATL is playing better lately, but maybe the switch to Cousins gives the Deadskins new life. Would take the 7.

    I think the switch hurts. Atlanta is notorious to get destroyed by mobile qbs. But 7 points ?

    Buy to redskins 7.5. To many times the skins have been down by a td in end of 4th and come up short in the final drive

    Look at all Redskins 10 losses. They have lost by 7 points or more. So the books are basically saying that if the Redskins lose they will lose by at least a touchdown.

    much better games on the board. Way too many unknowns in this one .

    Who knows how good or bad cousins will play??

    he may be extremely rusty

    I usually wait to the last minute or at least that day before I lock anything in….but some of these lines this week are a little extreme and its so hard not to jump on them..

    I agree this game does have to many variables…Probably a no play for me…If Cousins would've had another game at least to evaluate things than maybe but not now…and definitely not in atlanta…the dome gets pretty loud when they want too..but that all depends how many fans bought a ticket to the bandwagon.

    Which gm is better? I love skins+7. Shanny no dummy, he picked a perfect gm to do this. Atl run d is total trash, Morris will eat them up all night then you will see play action bootlegs, gonna look a lot like shanny offenses of old against a team that allows teams to gain damn near 5ypc and complete 67% of their passes.. So many good angles at play, cousins auditioning to be a starter, shanny looking to show every1 it was rg3 fault not his, the team will respond to the rg3 circus leaving town. I've already heard several comments where guys sound excited, u gonna see them all bring their A gm. Garçon even said "this is a gifted team w a new energy which can't hurt", there a reason garçon happy and it cause 3 can't anticipate a throw or let it go on time w accuracy. I bet cousins will at the very least throw the ball on time before wrs come out of their breaks which will be a pleasant change... The over prob good also but I'm already on the +7 and will more than likely sprinkle the ml..

    Eagles -4.5 over Vikings
    Too much offense for the Vikings defense who is one of the worst pass defending teams

    Bears -2.5

    the more i look at this game the more i like the Bears.
    Joe Haden will shut down Brandon Marshall....

    however who is going to stop Alshon Jeffrey?

    Matt Forte is a beast in space too.

    Jay Cutler is going to be very focused here and he definitely has something to prove.

    Must win game for the Bears.

    The Bears vs Eagles next week has been flexed to SNF it just seems appropriate that both would win this week to build more hype for that game. The Bears know they can't afford to drop this game vs Browns and make the playoffs.

    BigBear, those are the "looks to easy" type of plays.

    I have NYGiants+7, Falcons-6, and Vikings +4.5

    fairly certain I will get laughed at... But I think I'm going 3-0.

    Public burial this week. Be sharp pal.

    Atlanta Fans are going to be cheering for the Redskins to win the game
    And
    The Redskins fans are going to be cheering for the Falcons.

    Should be a hell of a game!

    i doubt that the Georgia Dome will be rocking.

    Most people in Atlanta avoid going downtown unless they have to.
    Pretty rough area

    Redskins are going to fold and give up in the 1st quarter with all of the drama going on.

    This is telling.

    I don't follow the skins (or RG3 storylines) that close - but if the team isn't crazy about RG3, they might be concerted in their efforts to help the new QB. I also know Garcon is a lockerroom leader of sorts.

    If the Skins are truly pumped to play, taking the points is a no - brainer.

    What exactly are the falcons playing for? And does beating the bills in Canada in OT mean they are back to 2012 form? That's laughable IMO.

    marshall plays in the slot 1/4 of the time, hayden is probably gonna be guarding Jeffery more than Marshall this game.

    This is the last game the Falcons have a chance to win before the end of season. They would play well in front of the fans for the last time because they will shut it down next two games with 49ers and Panthers.

    I see ATL playing their best game of the year VS 9ers. Knocked out of the playoffs last year by the 9ers, and a chance to show them up this year. ATL covers vs 9ers next week, but loses outright to wash this week.

    Despite losing two world class wide outs in White and Jones, Matt Ryan is still ranked 7th overall this season in passing yardage, despite throwing to a 58 lol year old tight end and a bunch of unheard ofs

    Ryan still is a top ten overall QB in 2013. Falcons and Ryan now have a 100 percent Roddy White back.

    Washington pass defense is a mess, their run defense is barely mediocre.

    Falcon defense is decent, will not win any awards awards anytime soon, but is good enough to stop Garçon, Morris, and a second string backup QB who has very little real time experience.

    Factor in Atlanta's building is difficult to win, I give
    Falcons a timid endorsement at -7.

    Will I wager this game ?
    No

    But if I had to, Atlanta would be the side.
