Atlanta Falcons NFL Week 11 Betting Lines
Should the Atlanta Falcons somehow find a way to not win the AFC South or even worse, fail to qualify for the playoffs, the Week 10 defeat to the New Orleans Saints would be a good starting point to formulate a reason as to why. Raheem Morris’ troops had zero excuse to lose the game with it comfortably winning the yardage and time of possession battles and seemingly doing as it pleased on the ground with the duo of Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier running roughshod for 181 yards and 5.7 yards per carry. Kirk Cousins did however put forth his worst showing since the season opener playing to a 75.1 QB rating by way of completing 23 of 38 passes for 306 yards without a touchdown and an interception thrown. Atlanta’s porous pass defense paired with an inability to get after the quarterback ultimately proved to be the team’s demise after accruing zero QB sacks of Derek Carr and allowing him to go off for 269 passing yards and 2 TD with Marquez Valdes-Scantling proving to be his primary target. A fitting scenario considering the franchise’s refusal to shore the pass rush up in the offseason. A walk in the park won’t be granted in Week 11 betting with Atlanta out to score its fourth road win of the year against a Denver Broncos team that just got its collective heart ripped out in Arrowhead and returns home losers of two straight. The “Dirty Birds” offense better pack its “A” game to the Mile High City if it expects to return home with a split!
With the loss dropping Atlanta to 6-4 straight up and 5-5 against the NFL spread for the season, the Falcons’ Super Bowl LIX odds bloated up to 50-1 from 25-1, while their odds of winning the NFC fattened up to 22-1 from 12-1. Now 4-1 in the division, Atlanta’s odds to take home NFC South bragging rights shortened up to -900 from -1000 after initially hitting the board the -140 preseason chalk favorite, while their adjusted win total odds fell to 9.5 from 10.5 with heavier vig attached to the over. The Falcons remain heavy -1000 favorites to qualify for the playoffs, with the “No” offering up a season-high +650 rate of return compared to the +150 opener.

Atlanta Falcons Week 10 Recap
The Atlanta Falcons suffered a narrow 20-17 NNFL odds defeat against the New Orleans Saints, missing several key scoring chances in the divisional clash. Despite an impressive 468 total yards gained, Atlanta struggled to capitalize, highlighted by a tough day for kicker Younghoe Koo, who missed three field goals — one wide, one blocked, and one hitting the upright. Atlanta’s ground game was a bright spot, with Bijan Robinson turning his 20 overall carries into 116 yards and two touchdowns, including a 37-yard score late in the third quarter that showcased his power and speed. Kirk Cousins threw for 306 yards but was intercepted late in the fourth quarter by Tyrann Mathieu, halting a critical drive with fewer than two minutes remaining. Chase Young later sacked and stripped Cousins, forcing a major 19-yard setback that hindered Atlanta’s last ditch attempt to send the game to an extra session or win it outright. The Falcons had one last chance, opting for a short pass on fourth-and-4 rather than a long field goal attempt. However, the pass to Ray-Ray McCloud III fell short of the first down, and time expired. The loss ended Atlanta's momentum dropping the team to 6-4 SU and 5-5 ATS, as missed opportunities and penalties proved costly against a revitalized Saints squad under interim head coach Darren Rizzi.
2024 Atlanta Falcons Schedule, Results & Record
The Falcons were founded as an NFL expansion team in 1966 but did not reach the playoffs until 1978. They have won two NFC championships, in 1998 and 2016. Their infamous Super Bowl collapse to the Patriots remains one of the biggest debacles in NFL history.
The Falcons emerged during the peak of the AFL vs. NFL league war, with the AFL also eyeing Atlanta for a franchise. To preempt this, the NFL swiftly established the Falcons, also aligning with their Sunbelt expansion strategy. The New Orleans Saints were founded the following year, sparking an immediate rivalry between the Southern teams. Over the years, the Falcons have had many great players, including Deion Sanders, Claude Humphrey, Steve Bartkowski, Jeff Van Note, Tommy Nobis, and Roddy White. Sanders and Humphrey are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, while Van Note had a remarkable career from 1969 through 1986.
Matt Ryan and Julio Jones dramatically transformed the Atlanta Falcons franchise, bringing a new era of success and excitement to the team. Ryan, drafted in 2008, quickly established himself as a franchise quarterback, known for his poise, leadership, and passing precision. The arrival of Julio Jones in 2011, a dynamic wide receiver with exceptional speed and catch radius, provided Ryan with an elite target. Together, they formed one of the NFL's most potent quarterback-receiver duos, leading the Falcons to consistent playoff appearances and an NFC Championship in 2016. Their synergy on the field not only revitalized the Falcons' offense but also set numerous franchise records, cementing their legacy as pivotal figures in the team's history.
