Monday Statement Game – Falcons Take Aim at Rams

NFL Week 17 Rams at Falcons Odds and Preview

For the Atlanta Falcons, the 2025 season has been more of the same.

The Falcons were touted as a potential surprise contender, but flopped as usual.

Quarterback Michael Pennix ended up on injured reserve with a torn ACL after losing his final four starts. Subsequently, Kirk Cousins provided little improvement and a weaker arm.

On Monday night, the Falcons will host the playoff-bound Los Angeles Rams on ESPN Monday Night Football.

Los Angeles is trying to clinch home field advantage for the 2025 NFL Playoffs.
