Not yet, ill take my chances. Name one rookie QB in his first game has lead his team to Victory?

I don't recall. I heard it on a radio show on my way home. I believe they lost.

They have been favored 3 times on the road all together in 8 years.

Dewayne White is going to have a field day against Atlanta's rookie tackle. Could be a blowout if the Lions show up.

+1 Kitna vs Matt Ryan? what play maker beside a Rb that has been sitting behind LT for years now do the falcons have?

[pavyracer]

Falcons have White and Norwood as great playmakers. The Falcons offense is good. The problem with the Falcons is the defense which can't stop the run and the Lions will be running the ball a lot in this game.

[BeatTheJerk]

over for me

[Bobby]

Detroit is 3-13 ATS as a road fav since 1992 (0-7 ATS as a 3 pt or less fav). If this game was outdoors I'd be more inclined to take Atlanta. I still think Atlanta can win but either way I see a 3 pt game here.

[gm2022]

I cant really think anyone would bet their own money on a Over paid/Drafted to high Qb?

[Deuce]

I have Lions on the over and ML. Easy cash.

[5 star bomb]

Lions are terrible pal

Lions are terrible pal

Prob true 5 star, but the thing is Falcons our 10 times more terrible. Lions have the ability to be solid with Kitna and ther Wr core they have. They Det D should give Mr Ryan a warm welcome to the Nfl this Sunday

Ryan Leaf!

ATL is the worst team in the league. Lions are decent this year. Will go .500. Easy schedule.

[no chance in hell]

they beat OAK week 1 last year as a fav, i think.

This

Line closed at Oakland -3 in that game

[gm2022]

I understand if you treat this game as a no play, but anyone who puts actual money on the Falcons is fking Crazy.

[nysmoneyman]

i like the way the lions went about the preseason...4-0...they can score and the defense is ok

i'm taking the lions in this one

good luck atlanta backers

[LT Profits]

Not that it means anything, but the Lions are 0-8 STRAIGHT UP the last eight times that they they have been road favorites.

Never use preseason performance to make Week 1 picks.

[Mr Handicapable]

I posted the Lions earlier in the week but I wanted to wait on my Power Sweep/Phil Steele before I bet it! He has the Lions 28-10! I don't see it being that easy and the Lions shouldn't be a road fav often but Kitna to Williams/Johnson/McDonald will DESTROY the Falcon secondary (23rd pass defense in 07....top 3 corners have 11 NFL starts combined)! Detroit can load the box on the Atl run game and Ryan won't be able to make them pay!

Lions 26
Falcons 13
