Prediction:
Falcons Beat the Point Spread and I Take the Over

Location:
Detroit, Michigan

Date:
Saturday December 22, 2012 at 8:30pm Eastern Time

Atlanta Falcons:
The Atlanta Falcons continue to press on and win game after game. They have the best league in the entire NFL, along with the Houston Texans, at 12-2 with two games remaining. They should be winning fans over at this point, especially since they just spanked the defending Super Bowl Giants 34-0. The Falcons shut them out and I don’t think many people thought they would keep winning like they have after they started so hot. Very impressive team, look out!

Detroit Lions:
The Lions continue with their struggles which now puts them at 4-10. On paper they seem so much better than what their record shows, similar to the Eagles, but the main difference is the Lions are for real. I expect Detroit to have a great off-season and coming out very strong in the 2013-2014 NFL Season. They lost last week to the Arizona Cardinals, 38-10, and not have an even tougher bird to face this week.

Game Prediction:
Get ready for a fun Saturday Night Football Game. Can’t say we get many NFL Saturday Night games but with college football over for the most part, other than the bowl games starting up, and with Holidays, it’s a nice change of pace. The Falcons will be facing off against the Lions, and although this game is being played in Detroit and although I do feel the Lions are better than what their record shows, I have to go with the Atlanta Falcons on this game. Falcons win this game, beat the point spread, and I take the over.
