The tale of the tape

This is a game Atlanta has to win on the ground. The Falcons' passing game ranks 31st, and 28th once you account for the pass defenses it has faced, against a Ravens pass defense that ranks 12th. Since 2015, teams with an edge that size won 60% of the time but covered only 48%, because the line already knows. So Atlanta runs: it runs on early downs more than anyone, throws deep less than anyone, and its run game ranks 3rd against a Ravens run defense that ranks 16th. Bijan Robinson has 66 carries already. Baltimore's answer is Lamar Jackson and the league's 1st-ranked passing game against a Falcons pass defense that ranks 9th. If Atlanta falls behind and has to throw, that is where the game flips.

Atlanta's best unit is its red-zone offense, 3rd at turning trips into touchdowns, and 7th once you account for the defenses it has faced, against a Ravens red-zone defense that ranks 15th. What blunts it is getting there: the Falcons rank 30th on third down and 32nd at avoiding interceptions. Drake London gets 26% of the targets and has 50+ receiving yards in 9 of his last 10 home games. For the bet, the history and the angles agree on the side.
