Utah at Atlanta

Utah is .667 on the young season - pretty impressive, but let's dig one level deeper. At home this team is 11-4, but on the road they are just 4-6 SU and ATS. Their scoring average drops by about seven points per game. And, their defense has been bad of late. The Jazz have allowed 101+ in five of their last six games including 111 to Orlando and 110 to Minnesota. Atlanta is proving to be a good team at home as they are now 11-2 SU and 10-3 ATS here this season, averaging 112.5 points per game! In contrast to the Jazz, the Hawks are playing very solid defense lately, averaging just 90.2 points per game allowed over their last five. Utah is just 9-20 ATS dating back to last season on the road when facing a winning team. And, Atlanta is 10-2 ATS this season after back-to-back ATS wins. Dating back to last season they are 18-5 ATS after three straight SU wins. I like the Hawks here.
