The Falcons did their very best to come back from a massive deficit against the Los Angeles Rams, but in the end, they just didn't have enough. To be fair, I really never thought that in the year 2022 I'd be seeing Marcus Mariota as the starter of an NFL team, but here we are. He isn't a franchise quarterback or someone that you are going to trust long-term, but he hasn't played poorly either. He led the Falcons to 17 points in the fourth quarter against LA, which is impressive nonetheless. They have been doing this without much contribution from Kyle Pitts, which is even more impressive.

The defense has been bad, but the offense has been able to keep games close. In fact, despite Atlanta being 0-2 SU, they are 2-0 ATS. They are a much better team than people give them credit for, and to me, this line in the game is silly. The Falcons should have held on to win in Week 1 against New O rleans and they nearly came all the way back to win in Week 2 against Los Angeles.

This is the quintessential example of a team being better than what their record shows.
