NFL Prop Picks: Denver Broncos vs. Atlanta Falcons Predictions 9/17
Last Updated: September 17th, 2012 byThe Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos are set to continue the 2012 NFL season, and as a part of our analysis of the Week 2 betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial primetime fight.
Tony Gonzalez Over/Under 4.5 Receptions: The truth of the matter is that the Broncos have a heck of a defense that is built from the outside, in. The corners are great. The outside linebackers are great. The rest of the defense… not so much, especially with LB DJ Williams still suspended (more on that in a second). That means that QB Matt Ryan might have a difficult time working the ball to either WR Julio Jones or WR Roddy White, depending upon which one ends up drawing DB Champ Bailey and which might get the free run against a third defensive back in the slot. That means that Gonzalez might have some free runs as well, as he is going to be the man in the middle of the offense that could be the beneficiary. Gonzo doesn’t have the wheels that he once did, but he is still a reliable target that is going to be good for 80-90 receptions this year, and this will be a game in which he sees the ball quite a bit. Tony Gonzalez Over 4.5 Receptions (-145)

Will Michael Turner Score a Touchdown?: We would really like the chance to back Turner to get beyond 62.5 rushing yards, as we know that he is going to do that more often than not. Still, RB Jacquizz Rodgers is going to be a part of the ground attack this year, as the team tries to save some of the tread that might be left on Turner’s tires. Still, “The Burner” is the goal line back, and there should still be plenty of chances to score in this game. Not every touchdown can be pilfered by Matty Ice and the passing attack, and that means that Turner should be in the end zone more often than not. We expect to see him dancing in the end zone with a short score relatively early on, and he might be in for multiple end zone celebrations. Michael Turner Scores a Touchdown (+100)
Peyton Manning Over/Under 1.5 TD Passes: Seems like a slam dunk, right? Maybe not so much. Manning knows that he has a defense unlike any defense that he has ever had before in his career, and he has a ground game that is largely unlike any ground game that he has had at any point in his career. We really like all of Manning’s ‘unders’ on Monday night, but we especially like this one. Denver won’t score more than four times tonight, and though four touchdowns likely means that Manning is going past his number, perhaps the team doesn’t score that often. RB Willis McGahee should be able to bull into the end zone for the first time this year, and that will really hurt the chances of Manning to throw for at least two scores. We’ll take our chances that he is held with just one TD pass on the evening at significantly plus odds. Peyton Manning Under 1.5 TD Passes (+160)
Over/Under 8.5 Punts: We’re going to back the ‘under’ in this game for punts, but it’s not necessarily because we think that there are going to be all these points on the board. Sure, there are going to be more points in this one than the average game, but in the end, the reason that we think that there will be fewer than nine punts is because of the time of possession that the Broncos are going to look to hold. If Manning has his way, he is going to possession the pigskin for 35 minutes or so of this game, and he is going to have a total of about nine drives to work with. If there are a total of 18 drives in this game, nine of them won’t end in punts. Total Punts Under 8.5 (-130)
