The Atlanta Falcons got off to a quick start in 2015 before faltering badly down the stretch. They will aim for the same hot beginning but more prolonged success this year. It all begins in Week 1 of the regular season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons are a slight favorite based on the home field advantage, but oddsmakers believe the talent level on these teams is very close....
It’s completely uncommon for a team to trade its starting quarterback just a week before the regular season, but that was the case with the Philadelphia Eagles. They sent Sam Bradford to the Vikings in return for first and fourth round draft picks, and are now planning on using No. 2 overall pick Carson Wentz in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns if Wentz is sufficiently recovered from a preseason rib injury. The switch at quarterback has dropped the Eagles’ odds of winning this game, although they are still the favorites against a lower-tier opponent....

Neither the Los Angeles Rams nor San Francisco 49ers are expected to make much noise in the NFC West this season with the former carrying +1450 odds and the latter checking in at +4000 to win the division. Regardless, the division rivals will cross paths in the second leg of the Week 1 Monday Night Football doubleheader.

Anyone can put together a solid fantasy football team with their first five picks. Ok, maybe not anyone but all seasoned fantasy players should be able to form a solid foundation early in the draft. While that’s all fine and dandy, it’s the sleepers and players with breakout potential snagged later in the draft that allow for improving your team via trades down the road. With the first three weeks of the preseason now in the books, we’ve got a better idea of who some of those diamonds in the rough just might be.Let’s dig in and take a look at some of these late round flyers or waiver wire pick-ups for those that have already drafted....
Even with Tom Brady suspended the first month of the season, the New England Patriots are still the second choice of oddsmakers to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. That speaks volumes for the task an Arizona Cardinals team will be forced to deal with after taking a huge dump in the NFC Championship Game. The home crowd will expect nothing but excellence, but you can bet your bottom dollar Bill Belichick will have something up his sleeve to keep this Week 1 tilt interesting all the way through....
The Carolina Panthers lost a grand total of two games last season. One of those defeats just so happened to come against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. Riverboat Ron and Cam Newton will get an immediate shot at avenging that bitter 24-10 loss in both teams’ 2016 Week 1 season opener.

Looking to close out their exhibition season with three straight wins and covers will be a Washington Redskins side that’s gotten no appreciation whatsoever for winning the NFC East last year heading into the regular season.

The Green Bay Packers are known for their high-flying offense led by star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but it’s their defense which has been getting the job done during the preseason. The team has gone 3-0 thus far in the exhibition schedule and has allowed only an average of 10 points per game....
Jared Goff might be the quarterback of the future for the Los Angeles Rams, but it’s not looking as if he will be the signal-caller of the present. The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft is running second string behind Case Keenum and figures to stay there....
The Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints have gone different ways this preseason, but that hasn’t stopped oddsmakers from believing a correction is coming. The Ravens are undefeated through three preseason games while the Saints are winless....

Fans should not expect to see the starters for either team in this one in NFL betting....
