Atlanta Falcons Odds

Atlanta Falcons Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

The Atlanta Falcons had yet another subpar season after their Super Bowl run back in 2016. Consistency is something that continued to allude the Falcons in 2021-22 as they finished the season 7-10 and third in the NFC South. The team struggled on both sides of the ball at times, and injuries to key players throughout the year did not help. The Falcons didn't make the playoffs for the fourth straight year.

The 2022 offseason has started as poorly as it could have for the Falcons. Star wide receiver Calvin Ridley was suspended for the entire season because he bet on NFL games. A team that was already struggling for weapons was dealt a huge blow. Marcus Mariota and rookie Desmond Ridder will take over for Matt Ryan under center. The Falcons will be a team to watch given last season's seven wins and uncertainty all around, with young playmakers Kyle Pitts and Drake London leading the way.

Betting on the Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta Falcons Point Spreads

Betting Falcons spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. The Falcons won seven games overall and were 6-10-1 against the spread during the 2021-22 season.

Here’s an example of a Falcons spread:

• Falcons +4.5 (+110)
• Buccaneers -4.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Falcons are 4.5 point underdogs against the Buccaneers. If Tampa wins the game by five or more points, a $100 wager on the Bucs will come with a payout of $90.91. If Atlanta won the game outright or lost by four points or less, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

Atlanta Falcons Over/Unders

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number, and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

The Falcons play the Panthers, and the over/under is set at 51 points. A wager on the over would require Atlanta and Carolina to score 52 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 50 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 50 points scored.

In 2020, Atlanta allowed 32.3 points during its 0-5 start compared to an even 23 points the rest of the way. The under hit in 56.2% of Falcons games last season.

Atlanta Falcons Moneylines

The moneyline is as straightforward as it gets when it comes to betting. The only thing to do here is to pick the winner. Check out this example:

• Falcons +190
• Saints -220

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making New Orleans the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Falcons' odds would profit $190 for every $100 bet. And it's the opposite for favorites: Here, the Saints moneyline was set at -220, meaning every $220 bet nets $100.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet the Falcons moneyline and the over on a 44.5 point total. Atlanta would need to win, with the total final score being 45 points or more for that bet to be successful. The risk is greater, but so is the reward with increased odds.

Atlanta Falcons Props

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• Kyle Pitts 2021 receiving yards: 950.0

Let’s break it down a bit. Pitts averaged just over 60 receiving yards per game last season for 1,026 in 17 games. He does downgrade from Matt Ryan to Marcus Mariota, although Ridley's suspension should give him a bigger role.
