Both the Detroit Lions (2-3) and Atlanta Falcons (1-5) are coming off victories and will be looking to start a winning streak in Week 7. The Lions jumped on the Jaguars and never let up, winning 34-16, while the Falcons got their first win of the season by dropping 40 on the Vikings, who could only manage 23 points.
With the game being played in Atlanta, the home team gets the traditional 2.5-point edge — according to BetMGM — but this betting line points to this game should be a close contest.
The 34 points scored last week were the most ever put up by a Lions team under coach Matt Patricia, and their offense wasn’t even as sharp as it has been in previous weeks. Factor in, wide receiver Julio Jones returning to game action and the Falcons coming off a 40 point contest, and it’s no surprise the over-under is at 56.5 points.
BetMGM has a lot of various bet lines to wager on in this game, but here’s a look at the basic concepts most would be interested in, including the Moneyline, points spread, and over/under.
