LOSS

Atlanta won the first meeting last season 20-17 and the Saints avenged the loss with a 23-13 win a couple weeks later and both games easily went UNDER. Both teams are 1-1 this year with the Saints ekeing out a 21-18 win over Cleveland in a game that stayed UNDER by 12 points. Wil Lutz kicked a 44-yard field goal with 21 seconds left and the Saints took advantage of several missed kicks by the Browns to pull out the win. Drew Brees completed a 42-yard pass to Ted Ginn Jr. to set up the kick. New Orleans won't take this week's game lightly as the Falcons rebounded from a tough loss at Philadelphia to defeat Carolina 31-24. Matt Ryan actually ran for two touchdowns and finished 23-for-28 for 272 yards. Brees was 28-for-35 for 243 yards and Michael Thomas had 12 catches for 89 yards and two TDs. The underdog has covered the spread seven of the last nine meetings and the UNDER is 7-3-1 the last 11 meetings. The Saints are 14-5 ATS their last 19 road games and the Falcons are 1-4 ATS their last five following a win dating to last season. The Falcons have gone UNDER eight of their last nine games, including the last seven games of the 2017 regular season and playoffs. Take the Saints and UNDER.
