    Falcons are a good team at home. Georgia Dome will be rocking. Atlanta has a good run defense, should be able to slow down MJD. Jaguars won big last sunday but they were playing the Buccaneers who seem to have fallen apart.

    Falcons -11 for 1 unit is my play.

    Brutal line, tough to lay that many points with the Falcons, yet the Jags have shown they are capable of getting blown out by anyone at any time. Lean ATL I guess but I'll be staying away unless this gets under 10. What's the over/under? Under might be a good play here

    Atlanta's Defense is almost completely healthy and their pass defense is now in the top #10. This is interesting considering they are always perceived to have a bad secondary. Additionally they are 8th passing. Jones Drew will have trouble running and Gabbert should struggle . With this said they typically play down to their opponent and their play calling becomes very vanilla when they get the lead. They really dont put anybody away. ATL can have this win anyway they want but do you trust them to lay 11?

    #7 overall, #11 on offense, #7 on defense, #18 on special teams. We have been very consistent in the efficiency of performances.

    Offense ATL is #8 passing and #25 rushing.

    Defense ATL #10 passing and #2 rushing.

    Why is everybody liking the over in this one? Minus the Tampa Bay game, Jacksonville cannot put up points, and whenever they do, it's long drives that usually result in FG's. As for Atlanta, they seem to have the longest scoring drives of any team, especially when they pound Turner 25+. I am thinking 27-13 ATL.

    I had considered betting the under in this one, but I am not too confident... I am surprised that nobody has taken the under, and I was wondering the thought process behind this?

    Atlanta -11 seems a bit high, but I expect Atlanta to make some big plays at home. Jacksonville will do what they have done all season, short throws and lots of running. I would consider buying at -10 or buying a point. But, at this rate I think the line is moving towards -12 by game time.

    Tease Atlanta and the over. My play: ATL -5/over 36.
