Rolling In The Dough

The Falcons still have a long way to go before they can be considered legitimate contenders. More than three years have passed since the Falcons collapsed in Super Bowl LI and they remain stuck in mediocrity. Atlanta's inability to compete with Seattle in the second-half was a flashback to their struggles last season against elite competition. The Falcons lost six of their nine games against winning teams in 2019.

If you had wagered $100 on all three of BetQL's picks in this contest, then you would have profited $270.00!
