ATLANTA FALCONS v DETROIT LIONS BETTING PREVIEW
The Lions have won their last two games to improve to 5-2 and tie the Green Bay Packers for the division lead in the NFC North. They were able to score two late touchdowns against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday to pull off a 24-23 home win, converting seven of their 15 third down chances..
Lions' defense is great; in fact, it’s ranked the best in the NFL holding opponents to an average of 290.3 total YPG. However, their offense isn’t the best. They’re averaging just 332.1 total YPG (24th) including 249.7 passing YPG (13th) and 82.4 rushing YPG (31st). Matthew Stafford is completing 63.1 percent of his passes for nine touchdowns and six interceptions.
The Falcons sit in third place in the NFC South.They lost their fourth game in a row when they were beaten 29-7 by the Baltimore Ravens on the road. Since the start of the 2013 season, the Falcons are 6-17 and critics are saying it may be the end of the line for head coach Mike Smith, who has a 62-41 regular season record with the team.
Ever since they destroyed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 56-14 in Week 3, the Falcons have seen their scoring output drop every week. Atlanta's Matt Ryan has already thrown 13 TD's this season and Julio Jones is one of his main targets bagging 3 so far.
Detroit's Calvin Johnson is injured - he has missed the last two after aggravating his ankle in Week 5. Reggie Bush was also limited with an ankle injury Wednesday, but he expects to play. As for the Falcons, they lost another key piece in center Peter Konz, who suffered a season-ending knee injury. He was placed on injured reserve Monday, joining fellow linemen Joe Hawley, Lamar Holmes and Sam Baker.
