Best Bet: December 29

Atlanta Falcons @ Washington Commanders

This game has massive playoff implications for both teams and it will surely be a battle. The line is set at -3.5 in favor of the Commanders and has been seen on some books floating up to -4. The Commanders are coming off of a huge victory against the Eagles, in a game where Jalen Hurts was injured and unable to return. The Falcons on the other hand are giving the starting nod to Michael Penix Jr., the Number 8 overall pick in this years draft. Penix has been patiently waiting for his opportunity to lead the Falcons who are competing for a playoff spot. With the line placed so low in a home game for the Commanders, who have been highly favored by the public this season, we think there is a lot of value in taking the Falcons on the spread. Vegas clearly thinks this game will be a close one. 

Pick: Falcons +3.5
