Falcons at Commanders picks and predictions
Prediction
Commanders 24, Falcons 14
Moneyline
PASS.
There is minimal value on the Commanders (-190) to win here.
Against the spread
BET COMMANDERS -3.5 (-110).
Washington has covered in 2 of its last 3 games, including back-to-back home games, while Atlanta is just 1-4-1 ATS in its last 6. The Falcons have struggled to find their offensive identity recently, making a QB change to Penix.
Expect the Commanders to not only win this matchup, but prevail with enough cushion to cover the spread with ease.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 46.5 (-110).
Atlanta has hit the Under in 7 of its last 9 games, including back-to-back games while scoring 21 or fewer points in 5 of its last 6 and allowing 17 or fewer points in 3 of its last 4.
Washington has allowed 19 or fewer points in 2 of its last 3 contests.
