Atlanta Falcons Betting Odds: Vegas Bullish on Birds

The Atlanta Falcons’ 2024 schedule was released Wednesday and revealed an early-season challenge that features four playoff teams from last year in the first five games.

Sports Illustrated is predicting a 12-5 record for the Falcons, and there’s reason to believe that’s more than just offseason optimism.
