Falcons favored by 3.5 points over Cardinals in Week 17

It’s been a minute since the Atlanta Falcons (5-10) were favorites in a game, but the drought will come to an end on New Year’s Day when the Arizona Cardinals (4-11) come to town.

According to Tipico Sportsbook, the Falcons are favored by 3.5 points over the Cardinals — with a -190 money line to win outright. The over/under for Sunday’s game is 41 points as neither team has done much offensively this season.

In Week 16, the Falcons were defeated by the Ravens, 17-9, and the Cardinals lost a close game to the Buccaneers. Neither team is headed to the playoffs this season, but Sunday’s game could have an impact on the 2023 NFL draft order.

Currently, Atlanta is set to pick sixth in next year’s draft.
