Rams at Falcons Betting Picks on Monday Night Football

Falcons Team Total Under 20.5 (-122)

The Falcons have benefited from playing some soft defense recently, putting me on their team total under even at home.

The past two weeks -- when the Falcons have put up 26 and 29 points -- they've played numberFire's 21st- and 24th-ranked pass defenses. The last time they faced a quality foe was in Week 14 at home against the Seattle Seahawks. They scored just nine there.

That game was without Drake London, but London doesn't appear to be fully healthy yet. He remained limited in practice all week after turning his 8 targets into 27 yards in his return. Kudos to London for suiting up even with the playoffs out of reach, but I'm not viewing him as the difference-maker he typically is.

With 20.5 not being the most restrictive team total, the under here seems like the proper play.

Rams First Drive Result: Any Other (+550)

This market is most attractive for a team that is aggressive on fourth down as it increases the odds of a turnover on downs. The Rams have morphed into that recently.

Likely thanks to their troubles at kicker, the Rams have gone for it on 4th down 12 times in the first quarter this year. No other team has done so more than seven times. They've converted at a 66.7% clip, but that's a lot of chances for a turnover on downs.

That's without even accounting for the potential of a turnover, which can certainly happen. All combined, the Rams have fallen under the "any other" category here in 4 of 15 games, a 26.7% clip. The implied odds at +550 are 15.4%. Once you account for the Rams' aggression, I do think there's value with where things stand.
