Atlanta snapped a two-game losing streak with a 27-24 win over Chicago last week, using a late field goal to pick up the win. The Falcons used 149 rushing yards to notch the win, averaging 4.5 yards per carry. Washington has not played a home game since Week 9, which resulted in a 20-17 loss to Minnesota.
The Falcons are only a half-game back of Tampa Bay in the NFC South standings, so they have plenty of motivation entering this week. Quarterback Marcus Mariota has been solid away from home this season, throwing seven touchdown passes in five outings. He has also thrown just one interception in his last three road games, and Atlanta has covered in five of its last six trips to Washington.
Washington has been one of the most underrated teams in the NFL over the past six weeks, winning five of its last six games. The Commanders have also covered the spread at a 5-0-1 clip in their last six games, rolling to a pair of double-digit road wins at Philadelphia and Houston over the past two weeks. They raced out to a 20-0 halftime lead against the Texans before coasting to a 23-10 win.
Quarterback Taylor Heinicke has thrown for 1,031 yards and five touchdowns since taking over as the starter near the end of October. The rushing attack has stepped up as well, averaging 152.5 yards per game and scoring three times. Washington has won seven of its last eight games played in the month of November.
The model has simulated Commanders vs. Falcons 10,000 times and the results are in. The model is leaning Over on the total, and it also says one side of the spread has all the value. You can only see the pick at SportsLine.
