The Atlanta Falcons vs Jacksonville Jaguars week 2 NFL showdown kicks off at 1:00 PM EST. After losing to Tennessee in their home opener, a game that they were expected to win as -7 favorites the Jacksonville Jaguars will draw a soft touch when the Atlanta Falcons come to town. The Falcons and there offensive lack of firepower will be a welcome sight for a Jaguars defense that was uncharacteristically liberal with giving up points last week. Online sportsbook SportsBetting.com has made the Jacksonville Jaguars 9 point home favorites.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 at home where they play nasty defense on their field’s slow grass field. Both teams running games will play a huge factor in the outcome of this game. With Joey Harrington lining up behind center Atlanta will have to rely heavily on running backs Warrick Dunn and Jerrious Norwood this season to carry the offense. Internet sportsbook SBG Global has made the Atlanta Falcons +11 point road underdogs.
The Falcons lost their best D-Linemen DT Rod Coleman in the first game of the season for at least 4 games so their line will leave some open running lanes for Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor to zip through. The weather in this game will be a factor with plenty of rain and thunderstorms expected. The team that plays the better defense and runs the ball more efficiently should have the upper hand in the rain.
