NFL odds and lines 2013, Week 8: Falcons vs. Cardinals
The Cardinals are slight favorites over the Falcons at home.
Jennifer Hilderbrand-USA TODAY S
The Cardinals dropped their second straight game last Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks, losing 34-22. They were five-point underdogs and failed to beat the line. Arizona fell to 3-4 on the season and is 4-3 against the spread. The offense continues to struggle with Carson Palmer under center and a sputtering run game.
Atlanta snapped their three game losing streak in Week 7 with a big 31-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They were favored by six points and had little trouble covering the spread. The Falcons moved to 2-4 in the standings and are also 2-4 against the spread. The offense is still ravaged by injuries -- Roddy White and Steven Jackson both missed their last game and it's unknown if they will be ready to play this week.
