The Atlanta Falcons have largely sat out of the free agency scrum, choosing instead to take care of their own players to make cap space for quarterback Matt Ryan, possibly losing ground in the NFC South.

Vegas oddsmakers don’t seem to think so.

After starting the offseason with 20-to-1 odds as Super Bowl contenders, the team’s odds have moved to 18-to-1 as other teams have razzle-dazzled with deals to improve their predictive standings.
