Bettors are putting more money behind the Falcons as their NFC divisional playoff game against the Seahawks draws closer.

The Falcons opened as 3.5-point favorites. The line moved to four points on Sunday, moved again to 4.5 by Monday and the consensus line was up to five points on Wednesday.

Bovada.lv reported om Monday that 61 percent of the money backed the Falcons. By Wednesday, the online gambling site said 65 percent of the money was on the Falcons, which probably explains the line moving again in favor of the Falcons.
