The Jacksonville Jaguars won’t have to travel far this Sunday as they will be heading to the neighboring state of Georgia to take on one of their annual preseason opponents in the Atlanta Falcons. They will also have some momentum by their side after a comeback victory over the Oakland Raiders on the West Coast.
The Falcons, on the other hand, also will have some momentum after defeating the San Francisco 49ers, who without a doubt are one of the NFL’s top teams. And while they weren’t favored in that game, they will be this week by a massive margin of 7.5-points per BetMGM, marking the biggest point spread of the year for the Cardiac Cats. The over/under is also currently set at 45.5.
Both teams have had underwhelming seasons and will roll into Week 15’s game with identical records of 5-9. However, of the two, I’d definitely say the Falcons have been more competitive throughout the season because prior to Week 14, the Jags had lost five consecutive games by 15 points or more.
The two teams surprisingly have only played each other six times in the regular season in their history. They will enter Sunday’s game with the series split right down the middle at 3-3 with the Falcons winning the last two games.
