SNF open thread: Falcons-Commanders gambling lines and picks for tonight’s game

Sunday’s action in Week 17 wraps up with a matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and Washington Commanders that has a lot of playoff implications.

The 8-7 Falcons own the tiebreaker over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the NFC South lead, so a win would ensure Atlanta controls its destiny during the final game of the regular season next week. Meanwhile, the 10-5 Commanders secure a postseason berth with a win tonight.

This is your place to discuss the game with other Las Vegas Raiders fans and any gambling picks you have as the lines below are provided by FanDuel Sportsbook.

Falcons vs. Commanders

[Lines are as of 12/28 at 11:30 a.m. PST]

• Spread: WSH -3.5
• O/U: 46.5
• WSH ML: -174
• ATL ML: +146

Holder’s picks: WSH -3.5, Under 46.5, WSH ML

We have a couple of rookie quarterbacks squaring off as Jayden Daniels faces Michael Penix Jr. Despite both being first-year players, Daniels has significantly more experience with this being his 16th NFL start while tonight will be just the second for Penix. So, I’m putting my money on the quarterback who has more experience under his belt.

For the injury report, the Falcons have ruled cornerbacks Kevin King (concussion) and Antonio Hamilton (quad) out. Meanwhile, the Commanders will be without five players; wide receiver Dyami Brown (hamstring), cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring), linebacker Jordan Magee (hamstring), safety Tyler Owens (ankle) and offensive tackle Andrew Wylie (groin).
