Sunday Night Football Betting Pick: Dallas Cowboys at New Orleans Saints

Sunday Night Football has delivered a ton of horrible matchups so far this season, but that should change in week four. The New Orleans Saints will host the Dallas Cowboys in this game in what should be one of the top matchups of the season. Both the Cowboys and Saints were playoff teams a season ago, and there is a good chance that they will both make the playoffs again this season.

Dallas comes into this game with a perfect 3-0 record, but their schedule has been extremely light. The Cowboys have taken advantage of three of the worst teams in the NFL so far this season, and two of those wins have come at home. New Orleans enters this game with a 2-1 record this season, and they have a pair of impressive wins. The Saints have wins over the Houston Texans in week one, and were able to knock off the Seattle Seahawks on the road in week three. Dallas will be on the road in this matchup, but they are still -2.5 point favorites in this game.

Saints Playing Without Brees

The New Orleans Saints will be playing this game without quarterback Drew Brees, but Teddy Bridgewater has stepped up nicely in his absence. Bridgewater has completed almost 64 percent of his passes so far this season, and Michael Thomas has remained his top target. Thomas already has 25 catches for 266 yards this season, and will likely have a big game in this huge matchup with the Cowboys. New Orleans still has plenty of offensive firepower without Drew Brees in the fold.

New Orleans will always have to answer questions on the defensive side of the ball, but they have been performing well this season. The Saints have given up some huge plays so far in 2019, but they have also faced some of the top offenses in the league. Safety Von Bell is leading the Saints with 21 tackles so far this season, and New Orleans has all of the tools to shut down this Cowboys offense.

Cowboys Offense Has Been Impressive

The Dallas Cowboys have a trio of talented offensive weapons and they have been putting up points like crazy. Dallas is averaging over 32.0 points per game so far in 2019, and they have been getting it done with a balanced offense. Quarterback Dak Prescott has thrown for 920 yards and nine touchdowns this season, but has been given a ton of time to survey defenses so far this season. Running back Ezekiel Elliot has ran for 289 rushing yards and will look to take advantage of a banged up Saints defense in this game.

The Dallas defense has been great this season as well, but they have not really been challenged this season. The Cowboys have allowed just over 14 points per game in 2019, and most of that has been done in mop up duty. Linebacker Jaylon Smith leads the team with 27 tackles so far this season, and the Cowboys defense could pose a threat to the Saints on Sunday night.

Saints Knock Off Cowboys on Sunday Night

There is no doubt that these are two of the top teams in the NFC this season, and this could be a potential playoff preview matchup. Dallas comes into this game with a perfect 3-0 record, but this is without a doubt the best team that they have played this season. New Orleans might be playing with some backup players at the skill positions, but they are always tough to beat at home. This should be a very high scoring game on Sunday night, and that plays right into the hands of the Saints. Take the +2.5 points and bet the New Orleans Saints over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Bet the Saints at one of our favorite pay per head sites PayPerHead247 and count your winnings!

Ohio State Buckeyes at Nebraska Cornhuskers

College GameDay is headed to Lincoln, Nebraska to watch the #5 Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers. This is a game with a total in the high 60s and what looks to be the Buckeyes biggest test to date. Ohio State is a 17.5 point favorite right now, after opening as a 15 point favorite.

This game is really intriguing because I think that there are two pretty clear ways this game can go. Will Ohio State’s defense continue its dominance or will a talented and dynamic Nebraska attack be able to keep pace with the Buckeyes?

Ohio State is currently second in the country in scoring offense and third in the country in scoring defense. This is very different from a year ago, when they were very average on the defensive side of the ball. With a lot of starters returning, this team looks completely different. Is this because of the level of competition that they have played or it is because they have drastically improved.

Nebraska O vs. Ohio State D

Ohio State overhauled their entire defensive staff outside of their defensive line coach in the offseason and these changes are seemingly paying off. Last year, Ohio State allowed a TON of explosive plays and missed a lot of tackles and assignments. Through 4 weeks, there has been almost zero lapses in the defense and they are tackling better than any other team in the country.

If this continues against a more talented Nebraska team, I think that this game will never be close, but I do think that it’s possible that the Cornhuskers can create some chaos. Adrian Martinez, JD Spielman, and Wan’Dale Robinson are a really explosive trio and Scott Frost is known for operating one of the best offenses in the country. However, I think that the most likely outcome here is the Ohio State talent trumps the Cornhuskers.

Those three Nebraska players would be tough to deal with for any team, but Ohio State has one of the most talented defenses in the country, headlined by future top 3 pick Chase Young and future top 10 pick Jeffrey Okudah. Young has 7 sacks in 4 games and he has not seen more than a half of football yet and he is looking to be like the next undeniable “best player in the draft.”

Nebraska has absolutely no answer for Young and I think that the pass rush of Ohio State, which is one off the lead in sacks while sitting for most second halves, should have no problems frustrating Martinez. Ohio State plays 4 players in the secondary that will be day 1 and 2 picks in the NFL Draft this year or next and they are averaging 1.7 yards per carry. This is one of the most dominant defenses in the country and I think that Nebraska will feel that here, especially in the second half.

Ohio State O vs. Nebraska D

On the other side of the ball, I cannot see how Nebraska expects to stop Justin Fields and the Buckeyes. Ryan Day is one of the best offensive minds in college football and he has added even more wrinkles to an offense that was 2nd in yards per game a year ago. Things like play-action passing from under center and implementing 2 TE looks in certain matchups this season is something to watch for as the season progresses, as these are things that Day has implemented into this offense.

Justin Fields is second in the country in points accounted for through 4 weeks and he has been dominant in every facet of the game. Fields looks really poised in the pocket and he looks more polished than most expected.

Here is the scary part about the Ohio State offense that has still not even been unleashed. Justin Fields is not being asked to run besides in goal line scenarios. Fields is a 6’3, 230lb athletic freak who was clocked at 4.38 in the spring at Ohio State. If Ohio State is in a close game, I expect to see Fields take over with his legs as a secret weapon.

In addition to the lack of Fields’ running the ball, Fields is getting no YAC on passes downfield, which is bound to change. On passes over 10 yards, Fields has thrown for 591 yards and only FIVE of those yards have come after the catch. This is an outlier and I expect even more explosiveness from this offense.

Nebraska’s defense is improved from a year ago, but they really lack “dudes.” Khalil Davis is the only player on this defense that is projected to be drafted by most places and that is in the last few rounds of the draft. Ohio State is going to feature 8-12 guys that will be draft picks within the next three years and this is too much talent for Nebraska to handle.

Pick

Let’s get this out of the way, the best bet here is the over on Ohio State’s team total, which looks like it will be something like 42.5. Ohio State will score at will in this game and I think that the only concern for this number is the fact that Ohio State could smother the Huskers on the other side of the ball. At 42.5, Ohio State will never hold back until they are well past that number in this game, so I think you are safe there.

This game is either going to be something like 55-35 or 51-14. The question is can Nebraska’s playmakers duplicate how teams got to Ohio State last year and will Ohio State get burnt by it.
I think that they will do the best they can to repeat these situations and Ohio State will not get beat consistently by those plays. However, these playmakers are good enough to break a few, even against a much improved defense. I’ll take Ohio State 58-20 in Lincoln.

Can the Raptors Retain the Championship in the 2019/20 Season?

Image: Pexels

The Toronto Raptors made history in 2019 by beating the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA championship for the first time since the club was founded in 1995. The 114-110 win at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, as reported by globalnews.ca, will go down as one the game’s great moments but thoughts are already turning to the 2019/20 season and whether the Raptors have any chance of defending their title.

Leonard departure major blow

It was widely accepted at the start of the summer that the Raptor’s chances of remaining at the NBA summit rested in the hands of Kawhi Leonard. As it happened, the small forward departed for the Los Angeles Clippers in July taking any realistic hopes of a title defence with him. Remember, Leonard’s total of 732 points scored during the 2019 playoffs has only been surpassed by two men in the history of the game: LeBron James (2018) and Michael Jordan (1992).

Contract decisions to be made

With the contracts of Kyle Lowry, Marc Gasol, and Serge Ibaka all set to expire next summer, the Raptors are entering a period where they will need to work smart in the market to upgrade their team if they are to remain contenders. A title defence cannot be ruled out completely but they will be relying on their current roster to perform at an incredibly high level while compensating for the departure of the two-time NBA Finals MVP. As a result, the best betting sites for Canadian players, listed at www.sportsbettingcanada.org, have at least seven or eight teams ahead of them in the NBA Championship betting markets.

The Raptors aim in the upcoming campaign must be to reach the post-season. To achieve that they may be tempted to offer lucrative short-term deals to the Lowry, Gasol and Ibaka to see them through to the 2021 free agency market when more trading options are expected to be available. A shot at the play-offs would satisfy the fans and keep the team relevant as a competitive force.

Retaining Pascal Siakam a priority

Per sportsnet.ca, it is expected that Pascal Siakam will be offered a full contract next summer and the Raptors will look to shape an elite team around the most improved player of the 2018/19 season. Fans should have faith that the organization is extremely well run and has become an attractive proposition for players looking to improve their game in a professional environment. The Raptors operate a tight ship, do not court drama or controversy and treat their staff with respect. Add a newly found winning mentality into that mix and you have to be positive about the future.

Summary

Retaining the championship might be too much to ask this time around but the Raptors are well placed to remain amongst the game’s elite. They do not have a large number of players tied to long expensive contracts giving them a flexible financial position compared to many other clubs. Everything will depend on how they use that to their advantage over the next two seasons. So while the players maintain the high level on the court, the management staff will need to put in an all-star performance off it.

Top 5 College Football Teams to Bet on in Week 4

College Football was a complete dud in week 3, but it was setting up what looks to be the best week of the season so far with multiple top 15 matchups and a lot of conference games getting started. Once we get this far into the season, we are starting to get a feel for who these teams really. This should allow us to really start to attack weaknesses and identify the flaws of most teams.

Michigan vs. Wisconsin (-3)

This is probably the most interesting game on the entire slate even though it may not be the most fun to watch for the offense-focused modern day fan. This game should be smashmouth football headlined by Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor.

The issue here is that there are very faint reports that Michigan’s running back Zach Charbonnet is going to need to undergo a second knee scope that will sideline him for a few weeks. Michigan’s offense has been dreadful this season and they have heavily leaned on Charbonnet in the run game because they lack depth at the position.

I expect Charbonnet to sit in this game and I think that when this news becomes mainstream, the line will move towards Wisconsin even more. Even if none of this happens, Wisconsin has been dominant in 2 games while Michigan has really struggled to get anything going. I love the Badgers -3 here.

Michigan State vs. Northwestern (+9.5)

As showcased last weekend, Michigan State should never be this big of a favorite against another competent power 5 team. Both teams have struggled to move the ball so far this season and the 38 total suggests that should be the case here.

Michigan State is the better team in this game, but spotting Northwestern 9.5 it simply way too much. I expect this game to be a one possession game throughout, allowing NU to cover.

Miami (OH) vs. Ohio State (-39)

I normally stay away from these games due to the massive spread, but this is a situation that I cannot pass up. Ohio State has a defensive line that is 12-14 players deep and has been one of the best defenses in the country through 3 games against much better opponents.

I would leave this game more surprised if Miami scored in the first half than if they were held without a first down. Ohio State’s offense should put up 6 or 7 touchdowns in the first half and their backups are still way more talented than the Redhawks. I expect this to be closer to a 60-point win than a 39 point win.

Notre Dame (+14) vs. Georgia

This is the game of the week and I think that Notre Dame can hand in with the Bulldogs because of their lack of explosiveness within the scheme. Georgia can create explosive plays with their explosive athletes, but they really don’t scheme explosive plays like the teams that have given Notre Dame major issues in the past.

I think that Georgia provides a matchup like Michigan for Notre Dame, but Georgia is a tier above athletically. I think that this sloppier play will keep Notre Dame close and allow them to hang around all game.

Colorado (+7.5) vs. Arizona State

The biggest key to this game is Colorado’s start. I expect the pace and the physicality of the Michigan State game to take a toll on Arizona State, particularly early on. I think that Colorado will be able to use their explosiveness early and jump out to an early lead.

Towards the end of the game, Eno Benjamin and Arizona State should be able to get the Sun Devils back into the game. I expect Colorado to lead early and Arizona State to have late opportunities to score to win the game. Either way, the Buffs cover here.

Who will win the Champions League in 2020?

Photo by Vienna Reyes, License

The Champions League is one of the biggest trophies for football teams right across Europe. It has the prestige in line with many of the domestic leagues right across the continent, with many supporters celebrating a Champions League win just as much. A prime example of this is the Liverpool victory of the title in the 2018-19 season, which saw a huge open top bus parade around the city, with fans lining the streets to see the reds show off their latest silverware.

At these early stages of the 2019-20 Champions League competition, it is too early to tell who will win. However, here is a look at the teams that are the main contenders for the title which will be decided in early June at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in historic Turkish city of Istanbul.

Liverpool

Off the back of their record 6th Champions League victory in 2019, Liverpool are certainly one of the favourites to win again in 2020. Whilst few teams have won back to back victories, Liverpool are strong contenders to pull this off, particularly since the team's line up is mostly unchanged and is looking just as strong as it was last season. The victory last year was the first major trophy for Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool Manager, which was shortly followed by their win of the Super Cup. Liverpool may be looking to end their Premier League drought, which spans 30 years so may prioritise that over the Champions League if a choice is necessary.

Manchester City

Manchester City are yet to ever win the Champions League, and have struggled to get to grips with the latter stages of the competition in recent years. The blues have dominated Enligsh football for the last few years, and stopped Liverpool winning the Premier League last year, despite scoring more points than most winning teams have ever scored. Their winning streak has been record breaking, with them being the only team to ever win the English football treble (the Premier League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup) in the 2017/18 season.

In the reverse of Liverpool, Manchester City are craving victory in Europe and they certainly have the players to be able to do it. The key will be whether they can finally break past the quarter finals, something that the team has never done in its history.

Barcelona

The Catalan team have not won the Champions League since 2015, and have suffered some heavy defeats in recent years, including a 3-0 away defeat to Liverpool in last year’s semi-finals. They continue to have a strong lineup, with a number of major signings adding to the existing team. Proof of this is demonstrated by Messi scoring more goals than any other player in last year’s Champions League, with a total of 12 balls netted.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid are the most successful team to play in the Champions League, with 13 trophies to their name. However, their three year run of victories was brutally brought to an end last year when they were beaten by Ajax in the last 16. Zinedine Zidane has returned as manager after leading the team to its 2016, 2017, and 2018 victories, and has made a number of expensive purchases, including Luka Jovic who moved from Eintracht Frankfurt for £62m.

Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich were knocked out in the final 16 last year by Liverpool, making 2018-19 the first time in the last seven seasons where the team has no made it to at least the semi final. The team has seen a number of changes to its lineup over the summer, so will be more of an unknown quantity heading in the 2019-20. Despite this, they remain a strong contender for the Champions League this season.

Overall, the strongest contenders for the Champions League title in 2019-20 will be the English sides. Liverpool and Manchester City are performing exceptionally and will likely be rivals at home and on the continent. Whilst the big hitters of Europe will also be in contention, the best odds continue to be on the English sides. That said, the performance in the game is all that matters and a last minute upset is a regular occurence in the Champions League.

Iowa Hawkeyes at Iowa State Cyclones Betting Pick

With the lack of marquee matchups on the week 3 slate of college football action, Iowa vs. Iowa State has quickly risen to the top of the list of the most intriguing games this weekend. This in-state rivalry has provided a lot of good games in recent history and with both teams hovering around the top 25, I expect to see another one on Saturday afternoon. The Hawkeyes head to Ames to take on the Cyclones as 2-point favorites in this game.

Iowa State Struggled Early

Week 1 was not pretty for the Cyclones, as they were forced into triple overtime vs. a pesky Northern Iowa team. Even though Iowa State eventually prevailed in that one, these struggles did some damage to their overall perception in the landscape of college football. Iowa State is somewhat fortunate to have had a bye the following week to regroup from that long and surprisingly close game.

Before the season started, it would have been reasonable for the Cyclones to dread a week 2 bye because it doesn’t allow them to get into a rhythm. However, with the result of the first game, I think Iowa State should be grateful that they have had an extra week to prepare for an Iowa team that is much more talented than the Panthers are.

Hawkeyes Look Solid

Iowa did not have the luxury of a bye week heading into this game, but they really have not been tested in the first two games of the season and that was always supposed to be the case. For Iowa, the games vs. Miami (OH) and Rutgers allows them to have a couple of preseason games before their first big matchup of the season on the road.

Even though they were without the bye, I would expect the Hawkeyes to be very prepared for this game, as it should have been the focus for the last 7 months or so. Rutgers and Miami (OH) are not teams that you need to game plan for and I think that this could give Iowa an edge.

Early in the season, there is a lot of gamesmanship as to which plays you do and do not put on tape in what some would refer to as “cupcake games.” This is something that Iowa has had the luxury of abusing in two easy games while Iowa State likely had to open up the playbook just to win their first game of the season. Iowa is a rather simple team offensively and they likely haven’t made major changes to the offense, but their ability to see exactly what Iowa State does in key moments will give them a leg up in this game.

When it comes to playmakers in this game, there is a lot of unknown. Iowa State lost David Montgomery and Hakeem Butler to the NFL and those two were the heart and soul of the Cyclones offense.

In their absence, I expect Johnnie Lang and Deshaunte Jones to step into their role, I just have not seen enough from them to expect them to do it at the same level. Missing two NFL caliber playmakers will definitely hurt the Cyclones against the top end teams on their schedule.

For the Hawkeyes, they lose two of the best tight end prospects that we have seen recently. While that might seem like a huge loss, I think that the Hawkeyes offense is much more focused around a scheme than players. These two players are elite and helped pull Iowa out of bad situations, but they were not the major focus of the offense.

In their college careers, Hockensen and Fant only saw more than 5 catches in a game twice. This team is going to miss them, but it will not take a drastic scheme change to fill the void.

Both quarterbacks here are guys that I trust to win a close game, but neither are elite talents that can do it on their own. While Purdy is more athletic, Stanley is the better pro prospect and I really think that they are about equal when comparing them to each other.

The X-Factor in this game will likely be A.J. Epenesa, a guy who is likely to be drafted in the top 10 of the 2020 NFL draft. Epenesa is a player that can wreck a game plan and I expect that to be the difference in this game.

Big Ten Tops Big 12

I think that the Hawkeye’s defensive talent force the Iowa State offense, who struggled to put up just 13 points on Northern Iowa in regulation two weeks ago, into a lot of 3rd and long situations that will allow Epenesa to feature his elite pass rushing skills.

I like the Hawkeyes -2 in Ames on Saturday afternoon. Take the Hawkeys as the favorite at our favorite pay per head bookie site https://www.a1pph.com/.

Top 5 Quarterbacks to Bet on for Week 2 of National Football League

Week 1 of the NFL season brought on a lot of high-end quarterback play. This play was headlined by Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott posting a perfect passer rating of 158.3 in their season debut. Can we identify these players before they have their breakout performances?

Tom Brady

Brady is facing the worst team in the NFL in Miami as an 18.5 point favorite on the road. Will the Patriots eventually take their foot off of the gas? Maybe, but I think that Brady will get his stats well before they pull back the reins on this offense.

Although Antonio Brown was involved in yet another story breaking on Tuesday night, I do expect him to play in this game, making this Patriots offense even scarier than the team that just put up 33 on the Pittsburgh Steelers with ease on Sunday night.

On Sunday afternoon, I expect to see Tom leave this game with over 300 yards passing and 3 TDs. This stat line will likely hit the overs on his passing props and makes him a nice option in the daily fantasy realm, where I don’t expect people to really focus on him.

Dak Prescott

Dak had the best game of his career in his first game this season and I really expect this offense to continue rolling with their new offensive play-caller, Kellen Moore. Moore was in a high-octane offense at Boise State before going to the NFL and I expect Moore to implement a lot of new offensive concepts into this Cowboys offense.

In his first week, Dak and the Cowboys called the most play-action passes per overall plays and they were incredibly efficient on these plays. Play-action is the most underutilized concept in the NFL and generally works regardless of the running game supporting it.

With Zeke in the backfield, defenses already key on the Cowboys run game. Play-action should allow Dak the massive passing lanes that we saw him take advantage of in week 1.

Patrick Mahomes

Mahomes is an easy choice against the Raiders this week just after dominating one of the most talented defenses in the NFL. Even though Mahomes is without his top receiver, I expect him to have another big game here.

The Chiefs are loaded with offensive talent and I think that they Tyreek Hill injury will not provide a huge issue in their first full game without him. I expect Sammy Watkins and Travis Kelce to really shoulder the load this week.

The Raiders were solid vs. Mahomes last year, but I expect the Raiders to struggle without their starting safety Abrams and potentially without Gareon Conley after his injury suffered on Monday night.

Derek Carr

When the Chiefs traveled to Oakland last season, Derek Carr had 285 yards and three passing touchdowns in that game. Another performance like that would make him a very viable option in any fantasy football league or even when looking at his prop bets.

Carr looked good on Monday night and I think that the Chiefs defense is still very capable of giving up yardage and completions, as they showed last week. I expect Carr to play well and even flirt with 300 yards passing in the game.

Drew Brees

Towards the end of last season, Brees suffered a shoulder injury that made me really question his ability to throw the ball downfield on time and accurately. On Monday night, Brees looked to be back to his old ways, even though he did not have to air the ball out much at all.

If Brees is back and healthy, I think that he could tear apart this Rams defense that took advantage of his hindrance in the playoffs last season. The Rams defense looked pretty bad in Carolina last week and I think that Cam Newton left a lot of throws on the field that Drew Brees will not. I expect Brees to have an eye-popping performance on Sunday afternoon.

These are the quarterbacks, we think you should take a look at and bet on this weekend in the NFL. Do so at our top pay per head bookie site at RealBOOKIES.

Rory McIlroy wins PGA Tour Player of the Year award

Northern Ireland golfer Rory McIlroy has picked up the PGA tour player of the year award for the third time in his career. This came as a surprise to many who had been supporting World number one Brooks Koepka for the title, using the latest NJ online sports betting offers. Koepka won the PGA Championship earlier this season, as well as finishing second in two of the season’s three other majors.

McIlroy on the other hand won the Tour Championship for a second time, which also secured him with the FedEx Cup title. He also picked up two other victories this season, winning the Players Championship and the Canadian Open.

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said “Rory’s season was a model of consistency punctuated by milestone victories and ultimately the FedEx Cup in Atlanta”. This shows the reason behind awarding him with the title over the World number one.

The latter victory in Atlanta came following the disappointment of him failing to make the cut at the Open at Royal Portrush by just one shot. However, he opened 2019 with top six finishes in his first five tournaments before then winning the Players. This meant he claimed his 15th career PGA Tour victory. That victory saw him join a select group of Tiger Woods and Henrik Stenson, as just the third player to win the Players, a major, the FedEx Cup and a World golf Championships event.

Rory McIlroy has now pushed up to 2nd in the World rankings, with earnings of $7,785,286 from 48 events this 2019 season. This culminated in his impressive form as he now returns to the top of the sport. His previous PGA Tour player of the year awards came in 2012 and 2014.

At 30 years of age, McIlroy has picked up four majors throughout his incredible career but has yet to win the Masters. His best finish to date is 4th back in 2015, but this is certainly a tournament he will be looking to win prior to retiring. His first major success came back in 2011, when he landed the U.S Open. This saw him set numerous records in the process of winning by eight strokes from Jason Day.

Rory also has two victories in the PGA Championship, with his first coming back in 2012. He again won by eight strokes, meaning he became the sixth youngest winner of two majors at just 23 years and 3 months. He then picked up a second PGA Championship title just two years later. This saw him beating Phil Michelson by one stroke. Finally, McIlroy landed the 143rd edition of the Open Championship and became only the sixth to win the Championship going wire to wire after 72 holes. In the process he became the first European to win three different majors.

Sunday Night Football Betting Pick: Philadelphia Eagles at Atlanta Falcons

NFC heavyweights are set to square off for a week two showdown on Sunday night. The Atlanta Falcons will host the Philadelphia Eagles in a battle of two of the last three champions in the National Football Conference. Both of these teams are trying to get back to that level, and both of the teams have the talent to do so. Week two of the NFL regular season usually looks much better than week one, and this should be a highly entertaining football game.

The Philadelphia Eagles looked as if they were going to start off the 2019 season with a loss, but then they found their offense. Philadelphia was down early to the Washington Redskins, but stormed back to earn an impressive 32-27 win over their divisional rival. The Eagles were a playoff team in 2018, but want to win the NFC East this season. Atlanta struggled in all aspects of the game in week one, losing by a score of 28-12 to the Minnesota Vikings. The Falcons have struggled to win games on the road in recent seasons, and being back at home should help a ton. Philadelphia is a slim -1.0 point favorite over the Atlanta Falcons in this game.

Eagles Happy to Have Jackson Back

The Philadelphia Eagles brought wide receiver Desean Jackson back this season, and he saved the day in the season opener. Jackson had 154 receiving yards against the Washington Redskins, including a pair of long touchdown catches. Quarterback Carson Wentz was also making his return to the field in this game, and having a weapon like Jackson on the field should make things easier. Philadelphia has a talented group of wide receivers, and also one of the game’s best tight ends in Zach Ertz. This Eagles team should pick apart a bad Falcons defense in this game.

If the Eagles are going to make a return to the playoffs this season, then they are going to have to find some more defense. Philadelphia gave up 398 yards of total offense in week one, including 380 passing yards to Case Keenum. The Eagles pass defense could be an issue against a great passing offense from the Falcons if they don’t make any improvements or adjustments.

Falcons Must Find Some Defense

Speaking of looking for defense, the Atlanta Falcons have been searching for a better defense for the last few years. Atlanta spent some time and money on improving their defense in the offseason, but it didn’t make much of a difference in week one. The Falcons did hold Kirk Cousins to less than 100 yards passing in the loss, but the Vikings ran all over them. Atlanta will face a balanced offensive attack in this game, and their defense will be challenged.

The Falcons should have one of the best offenses in the NFL this season, but the Vikings completely shut them down. Quarterback Matt Ryan completed 71 percent of his passes in week one, and still managed to throw for over 300 yards. He also threw a pair of interceptions that were devastating to the Falcons chances. Atlanta has a superstar receiver in Julio Jones, and the Falcons should be able to score right with the Eagles in this game.

Atlanta Picks Up Crucial Home Win

These two teams should factor into the playoff race in the NFC this season, but each team has plenty of question marks as well. Both of these teams have terrific quarterbacks, but their defenses are not some of the best in the NFL. Expect plenty of points in this game, and for it to be a back and forth battle. The Falcons desperately need a win in this game, and they will get it with a late score. Bet the Atlanta Falcons +1.0 over the Philadelphia Eagles in this NFC showdown on Sunday Night Football.
