The Falcons are coming into this game with a 6-3 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games and 4 of their 5 wins in that span have come by 5+ points. Their offense has been on fire recently as they have scored 27+ points in 4 of their last 5 games. They are going up against a Saints team that is 2-7 this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 7 straight games after starting the season 2-0 and they are coming off of a loss against the Panthers in their last game. Their defense has been awful in these games as well, allowing 23+ points in each of their last 6 games, and they have been struggling to stop the run in a lot of their games as well. The Falcons have a very good run game to attack this Saints defense, led by Bijan Robinson who has been heating up in his recent games, but they also have a lot of weapons to attack this defense through the air as Cousins has been playing very well recently and the Saints just traded away their top corner back Marshon Lattimore. The Falcons are going to have many options here to move the ball against this defense and even when they met a few weeks ago, the Falcons were leading for most of that game and that was against a much healthier Saints team. The Saints are missing a lot of key pieces here and their offense has not played well recently, scoring 10 points or less in 2 of their last 3 games, and they only scored 22 points against the Panthers last week who have one of the worst defenses in the league. The Saints had plenty of opportunities to score TDs over FGs but they were not able to convert and it is going to be a lot harder against this defense, especially since the Falcons have the offense to bury the Saints in this game. The Falcons will cover the spread in this game.
