Matt Ryan has to avoid the "sophomore jinx." Falcons are ripe for an opening day upset. The fans at Georgia Dome will be treated to a game between the Miami Dolphins and the Atlanta Falcons when they take their seats on Sunday. Sportsbetting.com currently have the Falcons listed as 4-point favorites versus the Dolphins and total 43½. The Dolphins finished the preseason 4-0 as they defeated the Saints 10-7 last time out, as 2.5-point underdogs. The teams played UNDER the posted total of 36.5. The Falcons were defeated 20-3 by the Ravens in their final preseason game last time out, as 2.5-point favorites. The game's 23 points went UNDER the posted total of 35.5. The Falcons offense should be stronger this year and it will be interesting to see how Ryan does in his first game of the season. Miami is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games on the road, Miami is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games on the road. I don't think Miami is a clear favorite, but of course I have to go with Miami. Though I won't be too surprised if Atlanta takes it either.
