Atlanta Falcons slight road favorites vs. Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14

The Los Angeles Chargers are home underdogs against Atlanta Falcons in Week 14 by the early betting odds and lines.

The Atlanta Falcons (4-8) will travel across the country in Week 14 to take on the Los Angeles Chargers (3-9) at SoFi Stadium. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday afternoon in Inglewood, Calif. Below, we take a look at the early Falcons-Chargers Week 14 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Falcons have been consistently inconsistent this season, blowing out teams like the Las Vegas Raiders and Minnesota Vikings but losing to the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions. In Week 13, the Falcons lost 21-16 to the New Orleans Saints for their second loss to New Orleans in three weeks. The defense has improved under interim head coach Raheem Morris, but Atlanta still ranks 30th in passing yards allowed.

The Chargers were absolutely dismantled by the New England Patriots Sunday, getting blown out 45-0 in what was the worst home loss in franchise history. They now sit at 3-9 on the year having lost each of their last two games. No team in the NFL has run more plays than the Chargers this season, but L.A. still ranks 22nd in scoring.

New Orleans Saints betting favorites over rival Atlanta Falcons by Week 11 odds

The New Orleans Saints are home betting favorites against the Atlanta Falcons by the Week 11 NFL odds and lines.

The Atlanta Falcons (3-6) and New Orleans Saints (7-2) meet at Mercedes-Benz Superdome Sunday for an NFC South rivalry game. It’s the first meeting of the 2020 season between the two. They’ll play again in Week 13. Below, we take a look at the early Falcons-Saints Week 11 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Falcons are coming off a bye after winning back-to-back games for the first time all season. They need to run the table in order to give themselves a shot at the NFC playoffs, but they enter the toughest stretch of their schedule. Atlanta will play the Saints and rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers twice each in the final seven weeks. QB Matt Ryan has been one of few bright spots this season. He has completed 67.2% of his passes for 2,746 yards and 15 touchdowns against 5 interceptions.

The Saints are expected to begin life without QB Drew Brees. He’s likely to miss multiple games with a build-up of injuries including fractured ribs and a collapsed lung. QB Jameis Winston will likely slide in under center for at least Week 10; it’ll be the former No. 1 pick’s first start with the Saints. RB Alvin Kamara has been the real star for New Orleans this year. He has 1,134 yards from scrimmage and 11 total touchdowns through nine games.
