The Atlanta Falcons travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers for Monday Night Football in the NFL. The Falcons (0-3) have yet to win a game this season, losing all three contests they've been in prior to this one. The Packers, meanwhile, have not stopped winning since the season started and go into this match with a 3-0 record. With this in mind, there's no prizes for guessing which team are the favourites to win. The Falcons have been poor - as a team with their record must be - but they have redeeming qualities. They have scored plenty of points in the opening week of the season - it's how many they've conceded that has been the problem. The second defeat, to the Cowboys, was particularly embarrassing. It meant that the Falcons became the first team in NFL history to throw away a fourth-quarter lead of 15 points or more in successive games. This period has hardened the Falcons' reputation for choking. The pressure is on the Falcons and they don't tend to do well under pressure.

The Packers are in sensational form going into this week. Not only did they win their opening three matches, but they also did it in style too. No team in history had scored 35 points or more in each of their first three matches without committing a single turnover before the Packers this season. A silver lining for the Falcons may be that the Packers have a few players, like wide receiver Allen Lazard, injured. However, Aaron Rodgers will be playing and that should prove the difference. Back the Packers -7.
