This number opened about where I expected, and has hardly moved.
1) Washington doesn't have great numbers against the run. Atlanta features a talented tandem of Robinson and Allgeier. Pennix may now add a new dimension to the ground game. He looked more than capable last week, but that was against The Giants. I wouldn't be suprised if Pennix plays well again, because Cousins just wasn't getting it done, even though the Falcons remained in the playoff picture. For what it's worth, I'm guessing that Kirk Cousins issues were not just his arm, but also lower body.
2) Atlanta's pass defense has not been that efficient. Washington's passing game is becoming one of the better ones.
3) This could be a good matchup for Washington's Daniels , he can take advantage if Atlanta continues with zone coverage.
4) Last week The Eagles still managed to score 33 points without Jalen Hurts. The only reason his backup-Kenny Pickett managed a QBR of 72 was because of pass interference penalties. I would expect Pennix to be more of a challenge.
5) It's supposed to be wet, but not excessively windy.
I like The Over at 47.5
