NFL Week 7 Picks on the Cincinnati Bengals vs Atlanta Falcons Odds: The Cincinnati Bengals will try to turn things around after a bye week when they visit Atlanta to face the Falcons this Sunday at 1 PM ET at the Georgia Dome. The Bengals vs. Falcons NFL Point Spread have the Falcons -3.5 at BODOG.com
Before the bye week the Bengals were having really serious issues moving the ball thru the air. Cincinnati is 7th in passing yards but QB Carson Palmer has been erratic most of the time throwing the ball far away from his targets and getting freaked out when the blitz is coming at him. "The panic button is going to get hit," wide receiver Chad Ochocinco said. "You go into a hole at 2-4 and that's tough. Especially with the schedule we have, that's tough."
Palmer has thrown 1287 yards, seven TDs and six interceptions but also has been lucky that more of his passes have not been intercepted. Expect him to look for Terrell Owens often against the Falcons as T.O. is Palmer´s best target with 31 receptions so far on the year.
The Falcons on the other hand suffered major issues on defense last week in the 31-17 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. In that game they allowed a season-high 474 yards and three touchdowns of more than 30 yards. "Defensively, you can't let people throw the ball over your head, you give up three explosive touchdowns, you're going to have a tough day," Atlanta coach Mike Smith said.
The offense needs to step up also after only recording a season-low 293 yards. RB Michael Turner will be able to find open holes up the middle of the line especially since the Bengals defensive end Antwan Odom is serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
The Falcons are a really good team at home especially because the Dome really helps their game, take them to cover the spread. Atlanta is 11-2 SU in its last 13 games at home and Cincinnati is 3-10 ATS in its last 13 games and the total has gone UNDER in 5 of Atlanta's last 6 games at home.
