Why bet on Atlanta versus NYG?

Heading into the fourth quarter of the Falcons’ loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week 2, the score was Bucs 28 and Atlanta 25. The Falcons played three great quarters of football, only to give up 20 points to the defending champs in the fourth. If not for the fourth-quarter implosion, Atlanta would have easily covered the spread. Facing a team more on their level, the ATL should keep this game close until the final whistle.

Why bet on NYG versus Atlanta?

In their second game, the Giants entered D.C. as an underdog against the spread. They almost pulled off the upset victory. Giants’ kicker Graham Gano kicked a field goal with 2 minutes left that put the Giants up 29-27. But the G-Men defense failed to hold the Commanders. Taylor Heinicke moved Washington into field goal range. D.C. hit the game-winner with 0 time left. Although the Giants lost the game, they could build off the excellent performance. Not only that, but this happens on NYG’s field.

New York Giants at Atlanta Falcons Final Betting Prediction

Neither team has a good offense or a good defense. But the Giants look like the more talented team. 

Although Atlanta’s performance for three quarters against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers impressed, the Falcons battled a division rival coming off a huge win against a top NFC opponent, the Dallas Cowboys.

The Giants had the game won last Thursday night, but their defense let them down. On paper, NYG towers over Atlanta. Quarterback Daniel Jones has some talent. He’s got decent pass catchers around him, including Kenny Golladay.

Golladay showed some frustration in the week 2 loss. That should motivate him. Make no mistake, the Giants aren’t a good team. But they scored 13 points against Denver’s terrific defense in a loss.

Last week, the G-Men dropped 29 onto the WFT’s very good defense. The ATL allows 40 points per game. The Giants should win this and they should win it by at least a touchdown.
