*10* SURE SHOT on Atlanta Falcons.
The Atlanta Falcons were eliminated from the playoffs when the Vikings beat the Giants last Sunday night. They will finish the season at home against the Saints, and I expect Atlanta to put on a show for the fans in this one. The Saints are terrible on the road at the best of times, and there isn't much incentive to win here for the visitors.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Home Cookin' - The home team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings between these two teams. The Saints are just 2-5 straight up on the road this year, and they've failed to cover in five of their last seven at Atlanta.
2. Drew Brees - The veteran threw for 412 yards and three TDs on 25-of-36 passing at home against the the Jaguars last Sunday. He's battling a foot injury though, and his status for this game is listed as "probable". Brees has thrown 31 touchdown passes this season, and only eight of those have come on the road.
3. X-Factor - The Saints are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games in Week 17
Selection: This is a play on the Atlanta Falcons (10*)
