Packers Open Strong At Home
This is the perfect spot for the Packers odds to cash at home against a spiraling Falcons squad. The Falcons come in having been outscored 54-16 and allowing 260+ yards to opponents.
The Falcons secondary specifically has struggled. Just last week against the Carolina Panthers, they allowed Bryce Young to throw for 287 yards and three touchdowns. This could be a sign that Jordan Love is in for a big game. He went for 145 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1 and 387 yards and two TDs in Week 2.
When it comes to the Falcons odds against the spread, they are 0-2 and failing to cover by 14.5 points on average and losing their games by 19 points.
It's also worth noting that Michael Penix Jr. is making his season debut after missing the first two games recovering from an ACL tear last season. Whether Penix Jr. makes a difference on offense or not is to be seen. Last season, the Falcons were a bottom-10 offense in the league.
