Seattle Seahawks (-5.5) vs. Atlanta Falcons

Injuries have decimated what would have likely been a return to the postseason for the Atlanta Falcons.

Alas, even Falcons fans can enjoy the contest Sunday by winning some easy cash.

The Falcons offense ranks dead last on the ground and is top-five through the air, but quarterback Matt Ryan has looked more like Carson Palmer as he attempts to overcompensate for injuries.

Then there's Seattle, which only allows 179.8 passing yards per game.

The Falcons defense has also been the definition of average, struggles to get to opposing quarterbacks and is exposed as a result. Expect star back Marshawn Lynch and his 726 yards and seven total touchdowns to control the game with ease after 125 yards last week.

Denver Broncos (-7) vs. San Diego Chargers

Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos may tout the league's best passing attack, but Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers are not far behind at No. 4.

This one will divulge into a shootout.

The decisive factor here is rather simple—Manning has had a week off courtesy of a bye to prepare for a San Diego defense that literally does nothing well (No. 27 against the pass, No. 23 against the run).

A revitalized Knowshon Moreno, who averages 4.2 yards per carry and has 456 yards and eight touchdowns to his name so far, will find gaping holes on each play as Manning can efficiently keep Rivers and his offense off the field. 

San Diego will get down early and stand no chance of running the ball in the first place against the NFL's third-best run defense. Manning and Co. win in a big way on the road.

Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints (-6.5)

Sunday Night Football is a good time for bettors to make some serious cash.

Savvy Dallas fans will unfortunately remember that it was just two weeks ago the Cowboys lost on a last-second score to Detroit as Matthew Stafford threw for 488 yards and a score.

With all due respect to Stafford, imagine what Drew Brees can do against the NFL's second-to-last pass defense.

Sure, Stafford has Megatron to go to—but Brees has Jimmy Graham.

Graham is on an impressive pace this year with 49 receptions for 746 yards and 10 scores—in seven games. Last week Graham returned to form with 116 yards and two scores.

Tony Romo and Co. are more than capable through the air, but that happens to be the strength of the New Orleans defense as a top-five unit in that category.

All in all, this perfectly equates to a major loss for Dallas. Bet accordingly.
