Turbulance Ahead For Falcons
Michael Vick made some big plays quickly last night, scoring two touchdowns on drives lasting less than a minute. They came out on top against the Saints 36-17.
The only blemish on the game was that Vick had to leave the game with bruised ribs.
It now gets tough for Atlanta through December and New Year's Day - the Falcons meet Chicago, Tampa Bay and Carolina, all of whom sit at around 9-4 for the season. They are one of eight teams fighting for five available play-off spots. The Falcons are now 8-5 (one game behind NFC South leaders Tampa Bay and Carolina).
The Saints proved tougher than predicted in the first half and got to within 21-17 after a 90-yard drive completed by a TD pass to Az-Zahir Hakim with seconds remaining. The Falcons, however, recovered in the third quarter and eventually pulled away for their third Monday night football win of the season.
On the sports betting front, the Falcons travel to Chicago next and are +3 and +100 (even money) on the spreads for that game. You can find our odds under NFL in left side menu.
