Schule's 10* NFL AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER *EARLY START*
(NFL) Chicago vs. Atlanta, 10/12/2014 12:25 PM, Score: 27 - 13
Point Spread: -3.00 | -115.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Atlanta Falcons.

Atlanta played well on the road in New York last week, but came up short in a 30-20 loss to the Giants. The Bears on the other hand didn't play particularly well in a loss to Carolina. Jay Cutler threw for 289 yards and a pair of TDs, but he was picked off twice by the Panthers defense.

The Falcons are a Jekyll & Hyde team, dominant at home but not so great on the road. So it comes as no surprise that they are 2-0 at home and 0-3 on the road. There are a variety of reasons why this trend should continue here today.

The Bears will see a familiar face returning kicks for the Falcons, as former Bear Devin Hester will look to pad his numbers as the leadin kicking returner in the history of the NFL. The Bears have said they play plan to challenge Hester, instead of trying to kick away from him. It could prove to be a fatal mistake.

The home team has won and covered four straight in this series, and with Matt Ryan facing off against Jay Cutler, I think the Falcons are in better hands.

Take ATL.
