Atlanta and Kirk Cousins did not have a good game against the stout Pittsburgh defense while losing 18-10, but they look for a bounce back this week against a Philadelphia defense that allowed 414 yards against Green Bay. The Falcons defense did not allow a touchdown against the Steelers and Jalen Hurts will be without wide receiver A.J. Brown, who is out with a hamstring injury. Brown caught five passes for 119 yards, including a 67-yard TD in the season opener. Hurts completed 20 of 34 passes for 278 yards against the Packers, but with two interceptions. Saquan Barkley rushed for 109 yards and two TDs, but the Falcon run defense held the Steelers to 3.3 yards per carry and just 133 passing yards. The Eagles still have lost six of their past eight games outright with a 1-7 ATS mark. Philadelphia is 3-11-1 ATS in Week 2 games and the Eagles have covered the spread once their past five games against NFC opponents. Take the Falcons.
