Atlanta just finished a road trip in which they faced two of the top secondaries in the league, in the Seahawks and Broncos, and put up 24 and 23 points.  The Dirty Birds now travel home to face a Chargers defense that is playing well, by their historically low standards, but still only ranking 16th in NYPP and 18th in passing success rate allowed.  Look for the Falcons who are averaging a league-best 8.8 NYPP to put up points against the Bolts.  While Rivers is having another fantastic season, putting up 7.4 NYPP with an above 50% passing success rate, the poor rush offense and rush defense have caused leads to evaporate this year en route to a 2-4 start.  The advanced stats model sees a shootout and the Falcons covering the chalk, so Falcons (-6.5) is a Strong Opinion. Lean to the OVER (53).
