Falcons vs. Ravens betting preview
Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered an ankle injury in a win over Tennessee last week, leaving his status in doubt for Sunday's game. Backup Tyler Huntley has a 7-9 record with 14 total touchdowns and 12 turnovers in his career as an NFL starter. He is 5-6 in his career as a starter with the Ravens, going 2-0 with two pass touchdowns and zero interceptions last season.
Atlanta is coming off a 45-24 win over the Saints on Monday night, recording its most points in a game since 2016. Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson became the second duo in Falcons history to score two-plus rushing touchdowns each in a game. The Falcons have won four straight primetime games for the first time since 2012. Claim $150 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager at DraftKings here:

"The Falcons are back in prime time, right where they like it," SportsLine expert Mike Tierney said. "Atlanta just pulled off two straight lopsided road wins at night, and their faithful following will be revved up for the Ravens' visit Sunday evening. A sprained ankle might keep QB Lamar Jackson on the sideline. He could be compromised if he plays. The Falcons' return of Michael Penix Jr at QB for the hapless Cooper Rush after two games has worked wonders. Nobody relishes prime time like the Falcons' Bijan Robinson. The best RB in the league at any hour might be the best all-time under the lights. With three 200-plus yards from scrimmage under his belt, he ran for a mere 145 and two TDs on Monday night."
