NFL Predictions Baltimore Ravens at Atlanta Falcons NFL Odds Preseason Week 4: A battle of the birds takes place tonight as the Ravens make a road trip to Atlanta to take on the Falcons in their final 2009 NFL Preseason game. The NFL Predictions experts at online sportsbook Bodog.com have the Atlanta Falcons -3 points (+105 odds) against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Falcons didn't wait long to follow up on Thomas Dimitroff's promise of changes in the secondary. Fox Sports' Jay Glazer tweeted that the team traded a seventh round pick to the St. Louis Ramsfor cornerback Tye Hill. Hill is a cautionary tale in many ways. Picked 15th overall by the Rams back in 2006, he made the Pro Football Writers of America's All-Rookie Team, but has largely struggled to stay on the field since then. He ended both 2007 and 2008 on injured reserve, and his play when he was on the field rarely approached any kind of sustained excellence.
