Atlanta Falcons Favored To Bounce Back In Week 7 Against Tennessee Titans

USA Today

The Atlanta Falcons are coming off their first loss of the 2015 NFL season with the division rival New Orleans Saints getting the best of Matt Ryan and company at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in the Big Easy. The division-leading Falcons will attempt to bounce back in Week 7 with the team going on the road for the second straight week to take on the struggling Tennessee Titans.

As expected, Atlanta is favored to come out on top against Marcus Mariota’s Titans this week with a -6 point spread, via Sportsbook.ag. Although home field is usually where teams in the NFL flourish, the Titans are winless on their home field at Nissan Stadium and are still looking to record a second win on the year.

The Titans got their season off to a fast start with Mariota making quite an impression in his rookie debut. Tennessee made easy work of the Jameis Winston’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1 with Mariota throwing four touchdowns and outdueling the fellow rookie.

Despite the quick and impressive start to his rookie campaign, the Titans have struggled ever since and will likely find it hard to get the best of the Falcons this Sunday as well. Atlanta may not get the same recognition as the Green Bay Packers or even the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC, but this team is firing on all cylinders and have seemingly been able to put it together this season.

The Falcons have a dynamic trio of players in Ryan, Julio Jones, and Devonta Freeman that has proved to be a incredibly tough to beat. The Saints were able to hand their division rivals a loss last week, but Atlanta should rebound with relative ease with an easy win over the Titans.
