Cardinals

Falcons

At Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Week 17, we’ll witness a game that features teams from the NFC South and the NFC West with Arizona Cardinals vs Atlanta Falcons. Both of these teams will be seeking a win in the penultimate week of the season and they will see this as an opportunity. How will the NFL betting odds see it, and what are the key facts to consider? Are the NFL standings Week 17 opts a game-changer this time around?

The Cardinals’ biggest story since last season has been Kyler Murray’s health (which, BTW, is why you should always do a check on reports before betting, especially the NFL Week 17 injury report.) According to the rumor mill, the player was dissatisfied with his contract, and the team did little to ease his concerns. Even though the contract included a questionable “study clause,” K1 appears ready to take control of his team. The Cards started the previous season strong, going 7-0, but they were eliminated in the Wild Card round by a score of 11-6.

After a failed attempt to lure Deshaun Watson to Atlanta, the Dirty Birds have a new quarterback for the first time in more than ten years. The Falcons decided to move on from Matt Ryan and start anew with Marcus Mariota, hoping that he can improve upon his play in Tennessee. The defense will need to step up when they face Arizona, despite the fact that the focus has been on the quarterbacks. In 2021, the Falcons had the seventh-best defensive unit, so they’ll need to improve upon that if they want to stop Kyler Murray and the rest of his team. All this is important to take into account for the NFL betting lines Week 17 options you can take advantage of.

The head-to-head series is extremely close, with the Cards holding a slim 17-15 advantage. In the most recent meeting, which took place in 2019, the Falcons prevailed thanks to a touchdown pass from Devonta Freeman down the stretch. Week 17 NFL Vegas odds are hot, hot, hot this time around!

If you want to bet on NFL games, what should you do? The Cardinals should be favorites here, as they have a strong offense that can cause Atlanta trouble. Back Arizona for a road win, always checking your Week 17 odds!
