Free Betting Pick: Atlanta Falcons -7.5
The Jacksonville Jaguars have been a mess this season as they have been blown out game after game as well as had a QB controversy. The Atlanta Falcons may have a depressing 5-9 record, but they are coming off an impressive win on the road against the potential 1st-seed in the San Francisco 49ers, and they should bring a high sense of confidence into this game. The Falcons have one of the best WRs in the NFL with Julio Jones, but QB Matt Ryan has quietly put together an amazing season as he has thrown 24 TDs compared to 12 interceptions with a limited selection of weapons. The Jacksonville defense has been the downfall of this team as they are allowing an average of 25.2 PPG, and I don’t think they will be able to stop the Atlanta offense on the road. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Falcons win and cover ATS 31-21.
