The Falcons are the home team in this contest, but the Patriots are still sizable favorites. They’re currently listed at -6.5, giving them a decent edge in implied team total. The Pats have been one of the hottest teams in football recently, and they’re coming off a 45-7 demolition of the Browns last week.

Matt Ryan is the most expensive player in this contest, and his results have fluctuated wildly of late. He’s posted 8.14 DraftKings points or fewer in two of his past three games, but he went for 31.52 in the other. It’s hard to find a quarterback with more drastically different results.
