A few hours ago this morning, I bet the Falcons -2.5 after buying half a point.

They're now up to -5.5, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't my $300 bet that moved the line that much. What the hell is going on in that game? Don't see any huge pregame news about it...

ATL was my biggest play of the day. Now I feel even better about it than I did before.

I might even throw a few more bucks on it at anything less than -7. NFC South teams have been money at home against other NFC South teams this year, and the Falcons will probably stuff the box to stop the run and dare Griese to beat them in the air.

Griese-ball is capable of having a good game...I'd be careful in this one...The books can clean up if he does

You've got to like the fact that Tampa is coming off a hard-fought MNF loss and it being a short week.

That being said, Greise hasn't been terrible in the backup role for TB going 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS. However he beat Atlanta in week 2 throwing 160yds for a td. The other teams aren't much to write about he lit up Chicago on the road (though that was his former team and I'm really not that impressed with the Bears defense) Denver and Green Bay.

I loved ATL at -3 w/ Garcia playing, but, like a dumbass, didn't book the play yet. Now at 6, I'm staying away...
