Why These Underdog NFL Teams Could Explode in Week 9 of Circa Million VII—And Win Big
Also, this spread is an overreaction to Atlanta’s humiliating 34-10 loss to Miami Sunday, which I had on my Week 8 card. New England was a -2.5 favorite on the look-ahead line for Week 9. I’m ignoring their loss last week because the Falcons started backup QB Kirk Cousins, and WR Drake London was out. London and starting QB Michael Penix Jr. are expected to return this week.
While Penix isn’t exactly lighting the league on fire in his second season, like Maye, Cousins is too old to be an NFL starter. Plus, London is one of the best receivers in the league. Falcons RB Bijan Robinson only got 12 touches last week, and that just can’t happen. Atlanta’s offense will look much better if Penix and London return, and Bijan should get more work Sunday.
