Heard on radio today that Atlanta is the biggest home underdog in conference championship history. SF is very, very good, but that's a slap in the face from Vegas.

Good. They need a freaking mushroom stamp to the forehead to get focused... get a chip on your shoulder. get mad... IDGAF... just play focused and don't go limp in the second half.

Well, it's up to public perception to set the line now. Let's see where it goes up til game time.

Home undedogs are highly bet on in the NFL by those who know.

I doubt we get much love this week though after the way they played GB.

The odds makers obviously see some matchups in SF favor. The Falcons bend but don't break defense will just take them so far. At some point you have to get stops to get your defense off the field.

Spread is based on public perception more than the actual metrics. SF is far more of a public team than ATL and just knocked off the second most public team (to NE). They don't want to overexpose themselves by taking too many bets on SF hense the inflated line. If this line truly rises to 4.5 the professional gamblers' loot will pour in on the birds.
