Washington Commanders vs Atlanta Falcons Prediction: Commanders to remain solid once again

The National Football League game at Northwest Stadium in round 17 will see Washington Commanders and Atlanta Falcons battle it out against each other. The two teams are coming off a win and will feel confident approaching this one. Which side gets things right? Below, I look at previewing this game while offering betting opportunities. 

Washington Commanders

Washington Commanders are coming off a hard-fought victory over the Philadelphia Phillies the previous weekend and will hope to get things right again. In a game that ended 36-33, Washington Commanders needed a strong final quarter game, which ended 22-6, overturning their 7-21 defeat in the first quarter. 

However, Washington Commanders have won three successive games, two coming against the New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans. In the meantime, Washington Commanders lost three consecutive matches prior to those wins, coming against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. This season, Washington Commanders have ten wins in their first fifteen matches, having a 0.667PCT, which puts them in 5th spot. 

Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons made it a consecutive victory the previous weekend against the New York Giants, ending 34-7. In that encounter, the Atlanta Falcons won three straight quarters following their goalless encounter in quarter one. In the last three quarters, the Atlanta Falcons pulled 17-7, 14-0, and 3-0 wins. In the meantime, the Atlanta Falcons' prior game to that win saw them defeat the Las Vegas Raiders while losing to the New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers and Minnesota Vikings. This season, the Atlanta Falcons have eight wins in their first fifteen matches. With a 0.533PCT, the Atlanta Falcons sit 9th in the National Conference standings. However, the Atlanta Falcons are second in the NFC South Division. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Atlanta Falcons performed so well in their last matches and I expect a similar performance from them here. However, the Washington Commanders are doing much better heading into this game, looking at how well they have performed against tougher opponents and their approach to games. While also looking at their past meetings, the Atlanta Falcons have struggled so much and will have to be at their best if they want a favourable result. As the better side, I will back the Washington Commanders to win with a good margin. Also, with the two teams attacking lines doing well lately, I expect a number of goals in this game.
