The Atlanta Falcons (1-5) host the Detroit Lions (2-3) in a Week 7 contest at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Week 7 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Lions drilled the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-16 in Week 6 and have won back-to-back road games. Led by rookie RB D’Andre Swift‘s 116 rushing yards, the Detroit ground game pounded out 180 yards at Jacksonville. That marks the Lions’ highest rushing total in a single game since Week 4 of last season (186 vs. Kansas City).
The Falcons ended a five-game losing skid with an unlikely 40-23 victory at Minnesota. Atlanta was a 4-point underdog headed into its clash against the Vikings, but a 30-for-40, 4-touchdown, 371-yard day for QB Matt Ryan got the Falcons into the win column for the first time this fall. Ryan and the Falcons will be looking to turn the tide on a trend that has seen them go 2-8 over their last 10 games at home.
