The Georgia World Congress Center Authority approved anon-binding framework agreement that would lead to a new retractable roof stadium in the ATL to serve as the home for the Atlanta Falcons, as well as events like the SEC championship game and the Chick-fil-A bowl. The cost of the new building? Around one billion dollars. Key business terms approved by the board include: The GWCCA, a state agency, would own the stadium. The Falcons would operate the stadium under a 30-year license agreement, with options to renew for an additional 15 years.

Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers: Week 14 NFL Pick

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  December 09, 2012
Atlanta Falcons (11-1) at Carolina Panthers (3-9) I really like using trends to pick NFL games. Not all games have the same weight on a team’s schedule and games don’t always mean the same thing for the teams playing it. This is why upsets happen. However, there aren’t any really good ones in play here, except this. Teams are 49-37 ATS as home favorites after a loss as road...
