The Washington Football Team and Atlanta Falcons meet in a week 4 NFL contest from Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Washington Football Team will look to rebound from a 43-21 loss to Buffalo in their last game. Taylor Heinicke has thrown for 670 yards, 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions on 69.4% passing while Antonio Gibson leads Washington with 190 rushing yards. Terry MCLaurin has a team-high 19 catches for 231 yards and Logan Thomas also has 100+ receiving yards this season. On defense, Cole Holcomb leads Washington with 31 total tackles while Jonathan Allen has a team-high 3 sacks and Montez Sweat has a pair of sacks on the year.


The Atlanta Falcons will look to build off of a 17-14 win over the Giants in their last game for their first W of the year. Matt ryan has thrown for 707 yards, 4 touchdowns and 3 picks on 70.9% passing while Mike Davis leads Atlanta with 137 rushing yards. Calvin Ridley, Cordarrelle Patterson and Kyle Pitts each have 100+ receiving yards with Ridley leading the way with 20 grabs for 175 yards and a score. On defense, Foyesade Oluokun has a team-high 31 total tackles while Dante Fowler Jr. has a pair of sacks on the year.

Washington is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite while the under is 10-1 in their last 11 games in October. Atlanta is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a losing record and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games as a home underdog.

This is a bit of a tricky spot, but if it ends u being a trap, sue me. There’s no sense in backing the Falcons as Atlanta just doesn’t know what they’re doing with their current roster and through three weeks just feel like a team playing out the string. Washington is never out of it in the NFC Least and I think that Washington gets a hard-fought win here with a cover to add to the Falcons’ misery.
