This made me laugh and be nervous.

ATLANTA over Washington by 4
Jim Zorn may have hit Bingo as his fully-rested Redskins catch the Falcons
on a short work week and in the middle of a division sandwich after their
Monday night shootout in the bayou. Atlanta left everything on the fi eld
in their 35-27 loss to the Saints and the tank may be a all but empty as the
non-offensive visitors come to town. The Falcons have certainly been empty
as home favorites after allowing 35 or more points, posting a putrid 0-9
ATS mark, and are just 1-5 ATS off back-to-back SU and ATS losses versus
conference foes. While Zorn’s offense couldn’t score with the “Octo-Mom”,
his 5th-ranked defense has held their last four opponents to under 300 yards
of total offense. And you know how we feel about TD dogs with the better
defense. While we don’t expect the Falcons to come up short for the third
straight week on the SU scoreboard, we do think that Zorn’s stingy defense
will bite at their ankles all afternoon. If Sherm calls the right numbers, this
one stays close.
