Tennessee Titans at Atlanta Falcons Betting: Atlanta to bounce back with win

After their disappointing loss in overtime to the New Orleans Saints last weekend, the Atlanta Falcons will be looking to bounce back with a victory over the Tennessee Titans this Sunday. Both teams are still right in the hunt for playoffs spots, with the Falcons at 5-4 and the Titans also at 5-4.

In the betting for Sunday’s game, Unibet make Atlanta favourite in the match odds at 6/17 while Tennessee are 11/5. In the point spread, the Falcons are favoured over the Titans by 6 points at 9/10 with Unibet.

Atlanta coach Mike Smith came in for criticism this week after he decided to go for it on 4th and 1 on his own 29-yard line in overtime last Sunday. The Falcons couldn’t convert on fourth down and turned the ball over the Saints who kicked a field to win the game. It was a gamble the coach said he had to take but it didn’t pay off. Now the Falcons will find it extremely hard to get the top spot in the division and will have to claim one of the two wildcard berths available.

They are, however, good enough to do it as they have strong, solid outfit who can win football games against most opposition in the league. The Falcons still run the ball well with Michael Turner pounding it on the ground while Matt Ryan is still performing at top level with the offence and passed for over 350 yards against the Saints last weekend. The Titans have a great opportunity to get out of the AFC South this season with the Colts imploding after losing Peyton Manning and the Texans just after losing Matt Schaub to injury. Can they take advantage of this?

Their schedule still has some tough fixtures but the Titans will be delighted that running back Chris Johnson is finally starting to show some form. He is coming off his second 100-yard rushing game and if he can keep it up the Titans have a chance of making the playoffs. This match-up is in the Georgia Dome on Sunday so you would expect the Falcons to get the win. They put it up to one of the best teams in the league, the Saints, last weekend and should be able to overcome the Titans.

Tennessee find it hard to stop the run, ranked 22nd in the league, and the Falcons will be looking to get back to their ground and pound game this Sunday.
