This is the Vegas way of saying “eh, the Falcons are at home.”
The Falcons have become maddening to try to figure out. They played the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles to the hilt in Week 1 and lost because they couldn’t execute on offense, then beat the Panthers in Week 2, then embarked on a three game losing streak, then a three game winning streak, then an unexpected road loss against Cleveland just as they seemed to be hitting their stride. They’re a talented team, but a team with holes, and on any given week you’re not if those holes are going to be big enough for them to fall into.
This week, against a pretty enigmatic Cowboys team, it’s legitimately tough to know what is going to happen. The oddsmakers clearly agree, because they have the Falcons by a field goal at home, which is about close to a toss-up as this one was likely to go.
Again, it’s not hard to understand why. The Cowboys just gritted out a tough win over the Eagles and have the defensive aptitude and ground game necessary to be a headache for Atlanta, but the Falcons are also home and were playing quite well before that dud against Cleveland.
Personally, I think this is a game Atlanta wins, but I don’t blame anyone for feeling wary about this one. The Falcons have been good, the Falcons have been bad, but the one thing they have definitely not been is consistent.
