Atlanta Falcons 2012 NFL Regular Season Win Totals Betting
The online oddsmakers have assigned a line of OVER/UNDER 9.5 to the 2012 NFL Regular Season Win Totals betting option available at Bookmaker.eu. Here is what’s a little surprising in that the oddsmakers do not believe this Falcons team can win more than 9 regular season games in 2012. The UNDER features a line of -155. Needless-to-say, that OVER priced at +125 is mouthwatering for a potential payout of $125 on every $100 bet or $12.50 on every $10 bet
