Falcons 2024 Win Total Prediction
Falcons Under 9.5 Wins (+115)
The Falcons may very well win the division, but this win total is far too high.Â
The reasoning? They’ve done nothing to address their atrocious defense.Â
Since the beginning of last season, the Falcons are 28th in defensive EPA per play and 26th in defensive success rate when their win probability is between 14 and 86%, per rbsdm.com.Â
Last season, Atlanta ranked second in PFF’s run defense grades but sat 25th in coverage grade and 27th in pressure rate.Â
Plus, this team has made a habit of playing close games.Â
Over the last two seasons, the Falcons have seen 21 of 36 games decided by eight points or fewer. They’ve gone 8-13 SU in those contests.Â
Within that 21-game sample, bettors will find Atlanta has played 14 games that have been decided by three or fewer points. Atlanta finished 7-7 SU in those contests.Â
