Atlanta Falcons vs New Orleans Saints MNF Game Picks: NFC South divisional foes will battle it out tonight at the Louisiana Superdome in the Big Easy on ESPN’s Monday Night Football. This week, the second place (4-2) Atlanta Falcons [+12] will be looking to shock the football world, and hand the sports betting odds favorite (6-0) New Orleans Saints [-12] the first loss of the season.
According to MNF Game Picks experts, the Saints are destined to blow the Falcons out of Louisiana tonight with a multiple-touchdown victory right? Wrong! I really think these Odds are not only suspect, but they’re a blatant 
setup! According to MNF Game Picks experts at Bodog.com, the OVER/UNDER for this Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints game has been set at a combined total of 56 points scored tonight.
The Falcons come into this game looking to gain some ground in the NFC South. "If we've got any chance of winning the division, I think the guys in the locker room know this is a big game for us," Falcons (RB) Michael Turner said. "We don't want to fall three games behind. In the NFL it's tough to catch up once you fall that many games behind and they have a win on you already. We've got to do whatever it takes to pull off this win on Monday."
For the hosting Saints, many are already jumping on their bandwagon and picking them as the best team in the NFC and some have even selected them as the favorites to win the Super Bowl this year. But I’ve never seen a team win a ring halfway into the season. So, I’m not so sure about that!
The Saints are impressive, no doubt about that. How good is this group? With another victory, New Orleans would match the best start in franchise history previously established by the 1991 Saints. People are in love with New Orleans’ high-flying offensive showcase this season. But what really separates this Saints team from the other ones is not their ability to put points on the board on that side of the football.
"Our mentality on this defense is, 'Why can't we make a big play and score?' and we did that," Saints linebacker Scott Shanle stated. "Obviously you only get so many possessions in a game for your offense and if you can score on defense, that is a huge momentum swing."
I like New Orleans to win tonight. However, 12 points seems a bit steep for my taste. So, I like the Atlanta Falcons at +12 tonight as my MNF Game Picks! Good luck!
