Falcons +9 over Saints

Yes, the Falcons are terrible. I think they are the second worst team in the NFL. But this is their biggest game of the season to restore some pride. They’re at home in a nationally televised game against a division rival. They have to be pumped up and prepared for this game.

The Saints aren’t great on the road as we saw in their loss at the Jets a few weeks ago. They are coming off a physical home win against the 49ers and playing this game on a short week doesn’t do them any favors. I’m taking the Falcons against the spread and making it a two-star pick.
