Falcons-Commanders Week 12 Odds, Lines and Spread

The Commanders are favored at home in Week 12 against the Falcons in a battle of playoff hopefuls.

The Commanders have won five of six to enter the playoff picture and they will attempt to make it six of seven when they host the Falcons in Week 12.

Washington started the season 1-4 straight-up (SU) but made its surge once Taylor Heinicke replaced the then-injured Carson Wentz. The Commanders beat the Texans, 23-10, in Houston in Week 11 to improve to 6-5.

Atlanta remains in the playoff hunt due to the dreadful NFC South. The Falcons (5-6) are just a half-game behind the Buccaneers after their 27-24 win over the Bears in Week 11.  Tight end Kyle Pitts’s status could have a sizable effect on this game since he suffered an injury against the Bears.

The Falcons rely heavily on their run game but could find tough sledding against a Commanders run defense that shut down the Eagles’ rushing attack in Week 10 and held Dameon Pierce to eight rushing yards on 10 carries Sunday.

Odds and Betting Insights

The Falcons started the year as the betting darlings with a 6-0 against the spread (ATS) mark but failed to cover in four straight games before barely covering the 2.5-point spread in Sunday’s win over the Bears. The Falcons are still among the best teams for bettors to back due to that incredible start.

The Commanders are another strong team to bet on with their 6-4-1 ATS mark and they have covered the spread in each of their five wins in this six-game stretch. Washington is favored for the fourth time this season and is 3-0 SU and ATS in the previous instances, including two at FedEx Field.

The over has cashed in four of Washington’s 11 games, compared to six times in Atlanta’s 11 games this season. These teams average 43 points combined with Atlanta averaging 23.5 points, while Washington is scoring 19.5 points per game.
