Atlanta Falcons 2017 Season Betting Preview
DT Dontari Poe, signed on for a year, should be among the Falcons biggest new additions. Atlanta’s defense improved during the second half of last season but was nowhere near perfect (and still isn’t for that matter). Poe helps seal some of the holes.
Though he may have reached his peak a few years ago, Fansided explains his importance to the Falcons:
Poe played 876 total snaps last season, which was the seventh most of any interior lineman. To put that into prospective, Atlanta’s highest played player along the interior last season, was Grady Jarrett, who played 762 total snaps.
While most losing Super Bowl teams in the modern era of the NFL seem to be cursed, Atlanta will likely carry on the momentum into 2017, though oddsmakers are a little suspect (they only have the 6th shortest odds to win the Super Bowl)
