Odds from Betonline.ag
I have to say that this game will be closer and the Jaguars could end up covering if and only if the Falcons continue to have their penalty issues. If Atlanta is able to fix those issues it should be very easy to see the Falcons coming out on top and I think this game allows the Falcons to get the problems fixed and secure the win. Still, I do not think either one of these offenses combined is enough to put the total on the over.
