The Atlanta Falcons are 10-1 on the season, and they'll be looking to improve on their 6-4-1 ATS mark on Thursday night as a 3.5-point favorite against the New Orleans Saints on the opening NFL betting lines at the sportsbooks.
The Falcons, though, lost both SU and ATS in their first meeting of the season with the Saints (5-6 SU, 6-5 ATS) on November 11, dropping them to 2-8 SU and 4-6 ATS over their past 10 matchups.

Houston topped Tennessee 38-14 as a 13.5-point home favorite back on September 30, and they're 5-5 SU and 6-4 ATS in the past 10 meetings between the AFC South teams. Each of their last four matchups have turned into OVER results for totals bettors.
The New England Patriots have been an OVER machine this season at 9-2 on the OVER/UNDER heading into Week 13, and they've opened as 8.5-point road favorites at 5Dimes for their Sunday afternoon game against the Miami Dolphins.
