The Atlanta Falcons (5-6) visit the nation’s capital to take on the Washington Commanders (6-5) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Falcons vs. Commanders odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.
The Atlanta Falcons pulled out a 27-24 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday as 2.5-point home favorites. K Younghoe Koo’s 53-yard field goal with 1:47 to go was the difference. Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson, who played 2 seasons for the Bears, set the NFL record with his 9th career kickoff return for a touchdown when he returned a kick 103 yards for a score in the 2nd quarter. The win came with a big loss as well. Early reports claim TE Kyle Pitts tore his MCL, which would likely have him missing the rest of the season.
Washington, after a 1-4 start, have found a path to victory — thanks to a solid ground game — going 5-1 in the last 6 games. After handing the Philadelphia Eagles their only loss 32-21 two weeks ago, the Commanders used the running game again to hand the Houston Texans a 23-10 loss in Week 11 — Washington covered as a 3-point road favorite.
