Why The Falcons Could Cover The Spread
The Falcons had a solid offense throughout the first couple of weeks. Unfortunately, everything fell flat last season, and the Falcons will look to bounce back from that terrible outing.
Ridder now has passed for 553 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Additionally, he has rushed 13 times for 41 yards and a score. Robinson has rushed 39 times for 213 yards but has not had a rushing score yet. However, he has caught 14 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown. Allgeier has rushed 38 times for 135 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, the passing game has struggled. Mack Hollins has seven receptions for 114 yards but has not scored yet. Also, Pitts has nine receptions for 100 yards and also has yet to score. London has eight catches for 98 yards and a touchdown.
The defense has not been that great, either. Yet, they have the talent to make things happen. Kaden Elliss has 17 solo tackles and one interception. Meanwhile, Jessie Bates III has 14 solo tackles and three interceptions. Bates is the only player on the Falcons with an interception. Therefore, there is hope that others can step up.
The Falcons will cover the spread if Ridder can be more effective in the passing game while also utilizing Robinson in the best way. Then, the defense must rattle Lawrence.
Why The Jaguars Could Cover The Spread
The Jags are having an identity crisis on offense. Somehow, they have not had a productive offense throughout the past two games. The Texans did not have an intimidating defense. Yet, the Jags still struggled.
Lawrence has not been as great, as he has passed for 736 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing 15 times for 59 yards. Now, he needs to find his game quickly and perform well in London. Etienne has rushed 49 times for 205 yards and a touchdown while catching 11 passes for 79 yards. Backup running back Tank Bigsby has rushed nine times for 23 yards and two touchdowns.
But the receivers have done well. Significantly, Engram now has 18 receptions for 173 yards. Calvin Ridley has caught 13 passes for 173 yards. Likewise, Kirk has 16 catches for 173 yards.
The defense has some talent. Yet, there is potential for more. Josh Allen has eight solo tackles and three sacks. Meanwhile, Andre Cisco has 12 solo tackles and one interception. Foyesade Oluokun has 20 solo tackles. Therefore, the Jaguars need these three to produce at an elite level to have a chance.
The Jaguars will cover the spread if they can open up the running game and Lawrence has a productive day. Then, the defense must force Ridder to pass the ball.
Final Falcons-Jaguars Prediction & Pick
The Jaguars always seem to step up during London games. Thus, expect them to rise to the occasion. Lawrence has not had a good season so far. However, he will find his game this Sunday across the pond. The Jaguars win the game and cover the spread.
Final Falcons-Jaguars Prediction & Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars: -3 (-110)
