Atlanta Falcons 2008 NFL Betting Preview

The 2008 Atlanta Falcons are rank outsiders according to the NFL bookies. They're expected to fare even worse than they did last season when they won only four games. But MyCapper shows that stats like these can be deceiving when it comes to sports betting.

2007/08 Record: 4-12

2007/08 Verdict:

Last season our Atlanta Falcons betting preview for 2007 predicted that "this team will struggle to win 5 games". We were spot on as they won 4 games. We predicted that hiring a college football head coach waould be an unmitigated disaster and it sure was - when will teams learn? We also warned about laying too many points against this team and they went on to win 7 games ATS. They won three games when they were dogs of more than 1 TD.

2008/09 Mycapper.com NFL Betting Prediction: UP

The Falcons could end up surprising many people but they'll still struggle to win more than 7 games straight up. Six games could be within reach, however, although we would be surprised to see them fare as well ATS this season as they did last year. So you can make money on this team by betting against them in specific spots like the following games: at Panthers, at Philadelphia, at San Diego, and at New Orleans. Expect a very good season for the running game with new acquisition Michael Turner, and Matt Ryan could also turn into something special, but success for this team is still a couple of years away.

2008/09 Atlanta Falcons Betting Preview

The Atlanta Falcons are 25/1 to win the NFC South, 100/1 to win the NFC Championship, and 200/1 to win Super Bowl XLIII. Go to Sportsbook.com where there are a ton of NFL futures to bet on.
