UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Atlanta (3-2 SU/1-4 ATS) climbed above .500 in Week 5, but suffered its fourth straight ATS setback. The Falcons edged Houston 21-19 on a final-seconds field goal, failing to cover as 2.5-point home faves.

After winning its first two games SU, Washington (2-3 SU and ATS) dropped three in a row. The last of those losses was the most surprising, with the Commanders 6-point home favorites vs. the Bears, who were on a 14-game SU nosedive dating to last October.

Washington dug itself into a 27-3 halftime hole en route to a 40-20 loss in the Week 5 Thursday night game.

Commanders-Falcons opened Atlanta -1.5 and moved to Atlanta -2 tonight at The SuperBook.
