An already thin Pitt secondary is going to get a test this weekend, but Julio Jones playing status is the key, I think. If he plays Pitt is going to have trouble containing these dynamic WR's for ATL. Don't sleep on Harry Douglas, either. He is one of the best 3rd wide receiving options in the league.

I like Atlanta in this matchup Matty Ice plays very well at home and as long as they keep winning they clinch their division. Atlanta struggled early in the season but things are finally coming together as showed against Green Bay last monday night. Green Bay is a scoring machine but Atlanta's secondary covered the Green Bay receivers suprisingly well forcing Rogers to slip out and work his magic. Big Ben is not that quick or slippery. Take the falcons +3 or 3.5 if you can get it they are fighting for their survival

Wait...what?! Atlanta has lost 2 of 3 and their pass defense is ranked dead last. Not sure what you saw in the GB game to make you think that their secondary played well. Big Ben may not be as "slippery" as Aaron Rodgers but he is a lot tougher to bring down, with his size and strength, and has GREAT pocket awareness.
The only play here, I think, is on the over. I like better if Julio plays, but Harry Douglas is a more than competent 3rd option. He could be a solid number 2 guy on a lot of teams. Pitt may cover, Atlanta may cover, but this is a coin flip game depending on what defense, not offense, plays better.
