Atlanta Falcons +3.5 (-115)
After watching Washington all year, am I supposed to buy into the fact that they are a good playoff team? Their defense has been lower third of the league. I get that everyone is excited in Washington and they managed to beat Philly last week (with Kenny Pickett at QB) in amazing fashion. But, honestly, is Washington good? We will get a better answer in the playoffs. However, I like the Falcons getting the points in this one. They match up well against the Skins. And the one advantage that everyone seems to think they have: going up against rookie Michael Pennix making his first road start is not the advantage they think it is. Honestly, Pennix was playing in a much bigger game last year (National Championship) than anything he’s stepping into tonight in Washington. Two evenly matched teams, I will take the points.
