Falcons vs. Broncos Public Betting: Bettors Love Atlanta

Cousins good to go vs. Broncos
Kirk Cousins (shoulder/elbow) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 11 against the Broncos. Cousins was limited in Wednesday’s practice but got upgraded to a full session the following day. Head coach Raheem Morris called it normal soreness for Cousins and wide receiver Darnell Mooney, who was added to the injury report with an Achilles issue. Nothing to see here. Staring down a tough matchup with a strong Broncos defense, Cousins will hang out near the top of the QB2 ranks for Week 11.
Sutton hauls in touchdown vs. Chiefs
Courtland Sutton caught 6-of-9 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Denver’s Week 10 loss to the Chiefs. He conclusively dominated Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie on the biggest plays of the game, winning vertically on his 32-yard touchdown catch and managing a 13-yard gain with 1:53 left that should have led to the game-winning field goal. Alas. Sutton has now gone for over 100 yards or a touchdown in three straight weeks and should remain on the WR3 line against the Falcons in Week 11.

Falcons vs. Broncos Prediction:
Take Denver. I know the Broncos are coming off a brutal loss at Arrowhead last week but assuming they don’t have any issues getting off the mat, they’re set up for success today. The Falcons can’t rush the passer, so Bo Nix will have no problem moving the ball against this Atlanta secondary. I’ll take Sean Payton vs. Jimmy Lake any day of the week.
Cousins and the Falcons offense also got bogged down in the red zone last week, settling for a handful of (missed) field goals instead of punching it in for six. Denver’s secondary is the best in the NFL so I don’t see a rebound today for Atlanta.
