Sunday Evening NFL Betting - Falcons Against Green Bay Packers
2 of the best clubs in the National Football Conference encounter on Sunday in Atlanta with the Atlanta Falcons a minor fave in Football gambling internet against the Green Bay Packers. The Atlanta Falcons sponsor the Packers in Week 12. The Falcons are presently major the NFC South with a 8-2-0 record. Green Bay is in 2nd place in the National Football Conference North at 7-3-0.
The Packers are certainly looking like Super Bowl competitors with a impressive offense led by Aaron Rodgers and a strong defense headed by Clay Mathews. The return of Clay Mathews makes the Packers a top ten defense. Mathews is excellent at causing confusion not only in the heart of the field but he’s a wise blitzing linebacker that every qb will need to take into account. The Green Bay Packers are giving up in excess of 110 yards on the ground and just above 210 yards through the air. The Falcons have a balanced attack and will try the Green Bay Packers defense in both areas.
Quarterback Matt Ryan is quite effective in front of the home devotees and the Falcons are very hard to defeat at home. Matt Ryan has increased to the position of a top 10 quarterback in the NFL and he might make things transpire rapidly with this offense. Michael Turner has been an sporadic element in the running game however Jason Snelling is a quality 2nd option for the Falcons. The running game has averaged over 125 yards on the ground and is above average in the NFL.
Despite the fact that the statistics do not mirror it, the Atlanta Falcons passing match has been sound. Matt Ryan’s number 1 wide receiver Roddy White leads the NFL in reception yards and is one of the 10 most tricky wide receivers to cover in the NFL. Tony Gonzalez is an ideal 2nd check down option for Ryan across the middle and Ryan isn’t afraid to use his blocking running back as a late option for major yardage up the middle. The Falcons offense will have an advantage over the Green Bay Packers defense in this indoor match.
The Falcons defense has silently been taking good care of business all year. They’re permitting less than 20 points per match and they’re retaining their foes to less than 100 yards rushing per match.
Their pass defense isn’t a stout defense. The Falcons are giving up 245 yards through the air yet they do have a much better than average pass rush led by John Abraham. Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers heir to the Brett Favre throne, has struggled this season through the hardship of losing his number 1 running back Ryan Grant and his tight end Jermichael Finley. Rodgers has managed the deficits in stride and has fine-tuned the Packers passing attack as necessary. The passing competition is averaging over 240 yards passing per competition but merely 100 yards per match on the ground. The Green Bay Packers offense has the edge over the Atlanta Falcons defense at the sportsbook.
