With just one game of NFL action tonight, it can feel a bit underwhelming if you’re not a fan of the teams. However, it should be a great game between the Falcons and Saints. Thanks to BetMGM it doesn’t matter who is playing tonight because they are offering you a chance to earn up to $1,500 using promo code FOXNEWS if your wager loses.
If the first few weeks of this year’s MLB season have taught us anything, it is that the running game can make a major difference for a team. Sure, you’ll always need your quarterback to be great, but running the ball opens up the passing game and helps you control the time of possession.

The Atlanta Falcons have one of the best and brightest young backs in the game. Four years ago, Bijan Robinson was selected eighth overall. He has been a bit frustrating at times, especially for fantasy owners, as he wasn’t always involved in the game plans. This season is different. The Falcons seem to be focusing specifically on him, getting him the ball both in handoffs and via the passing game. Before tonight’s game, he is ranked at sixth in the league in rushing yards.
The New Orleans Saints are hurting a bit at the position. They signed Travis Etienne Jr. in the offseason, but he is now on injured reserve. Now the team turns to a very familiar face in Alvin Kamara. Unfortunately for the Saints, he is on the older side for a running back. Once one of the most dynamic running backs in the league, Kamara has just 51 yards on 18 rushing attempts this season. If he can find space, he can still make tacklers miss and perhaps be a difference-maker.
Tonight, the running game could be the key factor for either team to win the game. Will Robinson be given any running room? Does Kamara still have any gas in the tank?
