Among one of the worst of the bad beats this past weekend, Cincinnati Bengals @ Atlanta Falcons (-3.5).  Care to guess who was on the bad end of this stick?

From CBS Sports:

If you haven't learned to stop betting on the Falcons by now, you have only yourself to blame. Few teams in recent memory have been as bad as they have in late-game situations, a fact that was all-too real once again on Sunday afternoon in Atlanta. In another high-scoring affair, Matt Ryan and the Falcons held on to a 36-31 lead following a late field goal that could have helped Falcons backers cover the 3.5-point spread. But with 4 minutes to operate on a porous Atlanta defense, Andy Dalton lead the Bengals on a 16-play, 75-yard march that used up the whole clock, and featured this absolute dagger with 12 seconds to go:

Final score: 37-36, Bengals. At this point, you might as well bet on the Falcons every week. It has to change sooner or later (famous last words).

If you're a bookmaker in Georgia catering heavily to Falcons fans, congrats.  Their 1-3 record Against The Spread speaks volumes.

Jordan Davison is Oregon's leading rusher this season, so his 67.5 total rushing yards betting market might prove to be a little more appealing for this game than his steep -240 touchdown scorer price.
