⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Falcons, aligning with money distribution but showing divergence in line movement toward the Cardinals, suggesting sharp action on the underdog. Following the public on Atlanta’s moneyline holds value given the slight win probability edge, but fading on the spread offers better EV due to simulation closeness and defensive matchups. Overall game scoring outlook points to a lower total, with both offenses inefficient against these defenses (combined 42 points allowed per game recently).
