Falcons at Patriots time, TV schedule, live stream, odds and more

There are plenty of ways to catch this week’s meeting between the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots. Here are a few suggestions.

After a 3-0 start, the defending NFC champion Atlanta Falcons have dropped a pair of tough home decisions to a pair of AFC East teams in the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins. After allowing 33 or more points during their 2-2 start this year, the reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots have surrendered a combined 31 points in road wins over the Buccaneers and Jets.

So are these two franchise, who squared off in Super Bowl LI back in February, headed in opposite directions. That would be somewhat appropriate considering in the fourth quarter of that title tilt. The Falcons were ahead by 25 points and then allowed 31 unanswered points in a 34-28 overtime loss.

Now the teams meet again and this time in Foxborough, where the Pats are but 1-2 this season. On the other hand, Atlanta is 2-0 on the road this year.

The New England Patriots are 3-point favorites via the consensus at the SportsBook Review. But it is that the massive over/under (55) that is the real source of intrigue here. Can the Atlanta Falcons snapped their two-game streak of scoring exactly 17 points in a game?
