When:
Sunday, October 1 – 9:30 am ET at Wembley in London, UK
Moneyline odds:
Falcons +145
Jaguars -175
Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on the Falcons?
The Atlanta Falcons have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL. That is evident in their lead over the National Conference South Division. Although, their record is not perfect at 2-1.
In their last outing, the team lost 20-6 to the Detroit Lions, making the 201 yards of quarterback Desmond Ridder, who completed 21 of 38 passes, useless.
The Falcons’ second offensive line is the highest-paid in the league. However, in the loss to Detroit, it only accumulated 119 yards, a number that seems low if Atlanta wants to aspire to big things in every game.
What can stand out on defense is the role of Jessie Bates III, who made five tackles and intercepted a ball. Younghoe Koo scored six points on two of three opportunities.
The aerial game has not been a bonanza for the Falcons. However, more creativity is a must for Ridder, who has had to make conservative passes to a greater extent.
Why Bet on the Jaguars?
Jacksonville has had a difficult start to the NFL season, with just one win and two losses, and a two-game losing streak.
Their last game resulted in a tough 37-17 loss to the Houston Texans at home. Losing by 20 points in front of their home crowd is a record that they shouldn’t want to repeat.
Although quarterback Trevor Lawrence caught 27 of 40 passes for 240 yards, he had one interception, which is somewhat offset by the touchdown he was able to score.
The offense is not a favorable factor for the team, especially because on third downs it is not measuring up. But it is not the only problem, since they are not defending well the rival passes.
For example, in the last game, CJ Stroud was able to complete 280 yards and two touchdowns, in other words, he did what he wanted.
Jacksonville will have to appeal to pieces like Travis Etienne or Calvin Ridley to find their best form.
Final Betting Analysis: Falcons vs. Jaguars
London will be dressed up at Wembley Stadium to enjoy an NFL game and there is a clear favorite to win despite some deficiencies: the Falcons, who will take advantage of the offensive and defensive problems that the Jacksonville Jaguars have presented so far.
The numbers at MyBookie.ag have Jaguars as the favorite, as the Moneyline for them shows -175, meanwhile, the Falcons have +145.
The last meeting between these two teams ended in a 28-12 victory for the Falcons, with two touchdowns by Tyler Allgeier, who is still with the team.
Go for a straight win in the Moneyline Falcons. If you bet $100 at +145, you will gain $145 for a total payout of $245.
