Schule's NFL Week 1 *MNF* T-E-R-M-I-N-A-T-O-R (+$16,930 O/U Run)
(NFL) Philadelphia vs. Atlanta, 09/14/2015 3:10 PM, Score: 24 - 26
Total: 53.00 | 102.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on PHI@ATL to go OVER the total.

The Falcons will host the Eagles on Monday Night Football in Week 1, and we should expect plenty of scoring in this one. These two teams are both explosive on offense, but a little suspect on the defensive side of the ball. The Falcons ranked dead last in the NFL in total defense last season, and I don't like their chances of slowing down these Eagles here tonight.

Chip Kelly comes into this season with a new quarterback, and Sam Bradford looked great in the pre-season. He threw for 121 yards and three TDs on 10-of-10 passing in the Eagles Week 3 "dress rehearsal" game in Green Bay.

Matt Ryan threw for 448 yards and three TDs in the Falcons home opener against the Saints last year, winning by a score of 37-34. When Julio Jones is healthy, he's been impossible to stop. He's averaged more receiving yards per game than any other player in the NFL over the last two seasons. We can expect Jones to have a big day here against a Philly defense that struggled against the pass last season. Philly ranked 31st in the league against the pass, only Atlanta ranked worse.

The Eagles have seen the total go over in four of their last five road games, and I expect that trend to continue here in the dome in Atlanta tonight.

Take OVER.
