5 minAtlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles Prediction, Pick Against the Spread, Latest Odds for MNF
The Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles will meet at Lincoln Financial Field on Monday night.
Atlanta enters this contest with a 0-1 record on the young season after they lost their season opener 18-10 at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The result was disappointing for the Falcons, who entered the season as the betting favorites to win the NFC South. Tonight becomes a crucial game for Atlanta, who does not want to start the season 0-2. To make matters worse, the Falcons will play the Kansas City Chiefs next week.
