Falcons vs Patriots Lines 2010 NFL Preseason Week 2: Week 2 of the 2010 NFL Preseason schedule kicks in this Thursday with a great match between to winning teams as the New Patriots take on the Atlanta Falcons at 8 PM ET. The Patriots vs. Falcons NFL Betting Point Spread have the Falcons at -2.5 at BODOG.com
New England is not surrounded by great news in the last days after Torry Holt was placed in the IR because of a season ending knee injury but also because Tom Brady has a finger issue that could give his throwing mechanics some troubles.
Brady will be good to go, I have no doubt about this but his playing minutes might be reduce in order to avoid a bigger damage on his finger. Brian Hoyer will be the quarterback who spends more time on the field, no question. Hoyer completed 8 of 13 passes for 106 yards without throwing a TD or a pick in the 24-27 victory over the Saints last week.
NFL betting fanatics should keep in mind Bill Belichick used five running backs in that game but B. Green-Ellis was the one who got more touches; don’t expect that to change. New England is looking forward to play against Falcons, especially because Atlanta uses a 4-3 defense, similar to the one the Pats will face against the Bengals in week one of the regular season.
On the other side Matt Ryan will see a bid more playing time than last week against Kansas City when he threw for 34 yards and 67.4 QB rating in the victory 20-10. The second year QB John Parker Wilson will lead this team most of the game after he passed for 80 yards against the Chiefs. Running back Antone Smith will be the go to guy in the rushing attempts because Michael Turner will barely see some action in the first two quarters of this game.
Consider Bill Belichick is 4-6 in preseason week 2 games with the Patriots, which is the only week where he owns a losing record.
