The Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos will face off in Week 11 in an intriguing matchup between two teams currently holding a playoff spot.

The Falcons are coming off an inexcusable loss to the New Orleans Saints while the Broncos lost a heartbreaker to the Kansas City Chiefs, allowing their game-winning field goal to be blocked. Now, Denver needs to win a few games against tough opponents if they want to secure a playoff spot. A win against the Falcons would be a big step forward.

Let’s take a look at everything you need to know to bet on this game.

Falcon Injury Report

Broncos injury report

Atlanta Falcons

Kyle Pitts: With how good the Broncos secondary is, they may be able to take down the Falcons’ top two receiving options in Darnell Mooney and Drake London. If that happens, the Falcons will have to turn to their tight end, Kyle Pitts, to hopefully jump-start their offense. Pitts has thrived when defenses focus on London and Mooney, so this could be a big matchup for him.

Denver Broncos

Courtland Sutton: The Courtland Sutton vs. AJ Terrell matchup is going to be interesting. Sutton has had a great 2024 season so far, serving as a top target for Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

In this week’s edition of “Road to 272 Paris“, I explained why I’m backing the Falcons as my upset pick of the week:

No one has bet more on the Denver Broncos than me this season, but it’s time for me to switch sides and take the Falcons. Some mixed results in recent weeks have distracted from the fact that the Falcons offense ranks third in EPA per play and second in offensive success rate, dating back to Week 5.

Yes, the Broncos defense is elite, but the Falcons have too many weapons at different positions and can find their way to score points.

The biggest concern when betting on the Falcons is their defense, which has been a mediocre unit this season but continues to find ways to make halftime adjustments and come out strong locker rooms. In fact, they allow the ninth fewest points per game in the second half at 9.1. They’ve faced a lot of strong offenses this season, but the Broncos won’t be one of them.

The Falcons get back on track Sunday.

Choice: Falcons +110
