Atlanta at Washington

March 22, 2017
img8:05 PM Eastern

These teams are not separated by as much as it looks. Washington is 42-28 on the season, and pretty much all of that record came during a 25-6 run over 31 games. Otherwise, they are 17-22, including 1-4 since the run ended. Atlanta had a huge negative run, going a woeful 1-10, and are otherwise 36-23. When you take the big runs for both teams out of the equation, these teams look a lot a like. That makes getting significant points here with the Hawks is very appealing and showing line value. Atlanta also owns a 29-12 SU record vs. Washington in the last 41 meetings, and a winning 12-8 SU mark in their last 20 in Washington, including a winning outright record as a dog. Make the play on Atlanta.
