I am not going to sit here and pretend that we have an exhilarating matchup tonight like we did last week between the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills, because we certainly do not. That being said, there are some decent betting angles to take a look at with each of these teams.

The Atlanta Falcons enter this contest 0-2, having lost to both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers. They are struggling mightily on offense with starting quarterback Cooper Rush, as they have averaged just eight points per game, which ranks dead last in the NFL.

Green Bay enters this game 1-1, having lost to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1, and then barely escaped the New York Jets in overtime with a win. The Packers offense has also been a bit lackluster, averaging just 21 points per game, which ranks in the bottom half of the league.

The Packers defense, on the other hand, ranks sixth-best in the league by allowing an average of 262 total yards of offense per game. While they have allowed an average of 28 points per game, they improved last week by holding the Jets to just 17 points. They should be able to control this Falcons offense in a similar, if not better, manner.

The Falcons defense also ranks in the top half of the league thus far by allowing an average of just 302 total yards of offense per game; however, like the Packers, they are allowing 27 points per game. The turnovers have hurt these teams, allowing their opposition shorter fields, which has directly resulted in points being scored against them.

I think this game sets up well for an under, as we have two defenses that have done a decent job at limiting yards going up against two offenses that rank in the bottom half of the league in points scored.

While I also think Green Bay can cover the spread here, I am not willing to back it here with a 5.5-point spread at this point in the season when its offense has struggled as much as it has, but more on that in a bit.

The Pick: Game Total UNDER 43.5 (-110)
