The tight race in the NFC South could get even tighter after the Saints and Falcons do battle today at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The game is set to kick off at 1:00pm ET and will be broadcast of Fox. NFL Picks at Sportsbook.com are favoring the Falcons at -1.
New Orleans enters this contest coming off a bye, and prior to that, a victory over the Chargers in London. The Saints are having another up and down season, but given their 4-4 mark, there is still time for them to make a playoff push. However, this game could be critical to their post-season chances as they currently sit at the bottom of the NFC South.
Atlanta continues to build on their unsuspecting start and now trail the Panthers by one game in the South. Last week the Falcons shut out the Raiders 24-0 in Oakland and should be flying high heading into this big division game.
New Head Coach Mike Smith has his team averaging 22.1 points per game and allowing 19.3 points per contest.
NFL Picks Trend: The Under is 7-2-1 in the Falcons last 10 games as a home favorite with a spread of 0 to 3.5.
