Looking ahead to Sunday's double-digit NFL pick favorites, have the Atlanta Falcons hit rock bottom yet? Maybe, maybe not. SportsBetting.com currently has the Atlanta Falcons as the 13.5 point dog for this NFL week 15 matchup.
Backers and fans of the Atlanta Falcons probably thought that rock bottom was losing QB Michael Vick to charges of animal cruelty, possibly forever, and subsequently going 3-10 and 6-7 ATS.
Well the floor gave way again when head coach Bobby Petrino quit the team to join the Arkansas NCAA program, informing the team via a letter, much to the anger of owner Arthur Blank and the rest of the team.
Will interim head coach Emmitt Thomas be able to lead the team through the final games of a miserable season and even a payday this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
"Petrino showed what kind of class that shouldn't belong in the NFL after leaving under the cover of darkness," stated Point-Spreads.com NFL Football Predictions Expert Michael Alexander. "It might just be what the doctor ordered for the Falcons."
The betting public appears to have very little confidence in Atlanta’s ability to compete, as only 15% of the action is on them as a +13½ dog, while the Bucs are seeing 85% of the volume.
