Saints
vs.
Falcons
Week 1
NFL Pick
9/8/13
The Saints host the Falcons in a highly anticipated NFL opener on Sunday with the Saints currently -3 point favorites and a total of 54 at GTBets. These two split last year with each winning their home Game. But the Saints were without head coach Sean Payton and ended up a disappointing 7-9, missing the playoffs. Matty Ice and the Falcons however, were 13-3 and were bouNCed out of the playoffs in the NFC Championship Game, a 28-24 loss to the 49ers.
The Saints are at home and the place will be rockin, but we’re going to go ahead and back the underdog here, a team that was 13-3 a year ago and 4 points from the Super Bowl, over a 7-9 team that was the 2nd worst in the NFL for points allowed. Falcons +3
