NFL Playoffs: Falcons Continue Quest Against Eagles

NFL PLayoffs Divisional Round

Top Seeded Eagles Host Falcons in Frigid Philly in NFL Playoffs



The Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles will meet in the NFL Playoffs on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field. This NFC Divisional Round matchup will kickoff at 4:35 pm EST and NBC will have the broadcast.

Oddsmakers opened the Falcons as -2.5-point favorites versus the Eagles, while the game's total opened at 44. The spread has dropped back to Falcons -2.5 after moving to 3 most of the week. The total has dropped to 40.5.

This will be the Eagles first playoff game in four years, and it will be a tough one. They are facing the reigning NFC Champions who are finally playing pretty good football and are healthy. That can't be said for the Eagles.

The Eagles lost quarterback Carson Wentz down the stretch but still managed to finish 13-3 and earn the No. 1 seed. Nick Foles took over for the MVP candidate after the injury. Foles was the quarterback back in 2013 when the Eagles fell to the New Orleans Saints 26-24.

The Falcons received the final playoff spot in the NFC. They promptly traveled to the West Coast and whipped the Los Angeles Rams 26-13 in the wild-card round.

Eagles Offense Can't Sputter in NFL Playoffs



Philadelphia is the first No. 1 seed to open as an underdog in the playoffs. The offense sputtered under Foles with a 19-10 win over the Oakland Raiders and a 6-0 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

The Eagles were a 6-0 loser in their most recent outing at home against the Dallas Cowboys. They failed to cover the +3.5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (6) made winners of UNDER bettors.

Foles was 4 of 11 for 39 yards and an interception against the Cowboys. He struggled to throw the ball downfield. Third-string quarterback Nate Sudfeld was 19 of 23 for 134 yards. The Eagles have made it crystal clear that Foles is the starter.

Falcons Look Like Contenders in the NFL Playoffs



Atlanta was a 26-13 winner in its last match on the road against the Los Angeles Rams. They covered the +6-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 39 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

The Falcons finished the regular season at 10-6. They are preparing for their second road playoff game. Quarterback Matt Ryan and wide receiver Julio Jones both missed practice Tuesday but are expected to start on Saturday. Ryan missed for personal reasons and is 100% prepared and ready for the game.

Ryan was 21 of 30 for 218 yards and a touchdown in the 13-point win over the Rams. It was his first road playoff win in three starts.

Ryan led Atlanta to the Super Bowl last season that ended in a heartbreaking overtime loss to the New England Patriots.

The Falcons forced a pair of huge fumbles last week.  They turned them into 10 points. Kicker Matt Bryant also booted four field goals.
