NFL Odds: Denver Broncos Host Falcons in Offense Versus Defense Battle - Handicappers Hideaway

Betting on Broncos Football





Falcons High Flying Offense vs. Denver Defense




The
Denver Broncos defense has picked up where it left off after last
season’s run to the Super Bowl. They’ll face a tough test on Sunday when
they host the high-flying Atlanta Falcons, who lead the NFL in points
per game (38).



 Bet on NFL football at Bovada and get a free 100% bonus.



 The
Falcons are now 3-1 after a 48-33 win over Carolina at home in which
Falcons QB Matt Ryan threw for 503 yards and four touchdowns. WR Julio
Jones caught 12 of those passes, including one for a touchdown; he
racked up 300 yards on the day. The Falcons have now scored 93 points in
their last two games.



 After
earning a 27-7 win in Tampa Bay, the Denver Broncos are one of three
undefeated teams left in the NFL (along with Philadelphia and
Minnesota). Rookie Paxton Lynch filled in admirably for the injured
starter Trevor Siemian, passing for 170 yards and a touchdown. The
defense held the Buccaneers to 215 yards while forcing three turnovers.



Denver
opened is a 6-point favourite for this contest, but is now only a
4.5-point favorite. The total for this game is now at 47. The Denver
Broncos are 3-2 SU and ATS in their last five meetings with Atlanta, and
the Falcons are 2-3 SU and 2-2 ATS in four trips to Denver since 1982.

NFL Week 5 Preview & Free Pick- Philadelphia Eagles at Detroit Lions - Handicappers Hideaway

Detroit Lions Football





Eagles Going for 4-0 After Early Bye Week

The 3-0 Philadelphia Eagles return to action this Sunday from a bye
week as 2.5-point road favorites against the 1-3 Detroit Lions in a 1
p.m. (ET) start on FOX at Ford Field. BetAnySports has set the total line for the NFC tilt at 46.





The Philadelphia Eagles went into their bye week with a very
impressive 34-3 romp over in-state rival Pittsburgh. As four-point
underdogs at home, they played well over expectations. The total stayed
UNDER 46.5 points in that game. Total points in Philadelphia Eagles
games has now stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in all three of their
games. They also beat Cleveland as four-point home favorites and Chicago
on the road as three-point underdogs for the perfect start.
Philadelphia will head back on the road with a 4-1 record both
straight-up and against the spread in its last five road games.


The combination of rookie quarterback Carson Wentz and a shutdown
defense is largely responsible for the Eagles’ fast start. Wentz has yet
to throw an interception through his first three starts and he has
tossed five touchdown passes. The Philadelphia Eagle defense is allowing
the fewest points in the league. It is ranked sixth against the pass
and third against the run.


Lions Bad Defense and Struggling Offense without Megatron

Detroit fell to 1-3 on the year both SU and ATS with this past
Sunday’s 17-14 loss to Chicago as a three-point road favorite. The total
stayed UNDER 48 points on BetAnySports
closing line in that game. Detroit has now stayed UNDER in two of the
Lions’ last three games. They will return to Ford Field with a 3-7
record ATS in their last 10 home games. The total has gone OVER in six
of their last eight games at home.


The deep-rooted problems with this team on both sides of the ball
were clearly exposed in the loss to the Bears. Detroit’s offense has
struggled to move the ball this year. They have struggled Both on the
ground and through the air. The Lions defense surrendered over 400 total
yards to one of the worst offenses in the league. Matthew Strafford was
held to 197 yards passing. He was also picked off twice in Sunday’s
loss. The Lions are now ranked 22nd in the NFL in rushing with an average of 92.2 yards a game.


BetAnySports Prediction

I am looking for the Philadelphia Eagles to keep things rolling this Sunday with a SU win that easily covers BetAnySports
current 2.5-point spread. That overall gap in talent on both sides of
the ball is just too wide for Detroit to keep things close.
