The Atlanta Falcons will look for their second straight win as they travel to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. Atlanta’s offense appears to be trending in the right direction, and they’ll get a major boost with both Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage expected to return on Sunday.

This is a golden chance for the 2-3 Falcons to get back to .500 against a lifeless Dolphins team. Miami has lost five straight games thanks to its defense taking a major step back from the 2020 campaign. The Falcons can’t squander this opportunity as a rare favorite if they’re to remain in the playoff hunt.

Falcons vs Dolphins Odds Week 7

The Week 7 odds on WynnBET have the Falcons as slight 2.5-point favorites. They’re also -135 favorites on the moneyline (compared to +115 underdogs for the Dolphins) in a game with a 47.5-point over/under.

Falcons vs Dolphins Prediction Week 7

This game is up for grabs by either side. Both offenses boast playmakers, which means whichever struggling defense can step up will likely take home the win.

Atlanta (29.6) and Miami (29.5) are surrendering the second- and third-most points per game this season. Failures by both units to get stops have cost these teams late, like in the Falcons’ Week 4 loss or the Dolphins’ defeat in London to the then-winless Jaguars.

Still, this feels like Atlanta’s game to lose. Matt Ryan appears to be finding a groove, helping the Falcons put up at least 27 points in each of the last two weeks. The Dolphins, meanwhile, haven’t scored more than 20 points in Tua Tagovailoa’s two full starts this year.

The likes of Ridley, Kyle Pitts and Cordarrelle Patterson should give Miami problems all afternoon. The Falcons win this one 30-24, covering the spread and easily clearing the over.
