New York Jets vs Atlanta Falcons Prediction
These are two franchises looking to turn things around it. It has been a struggle for these teams the last few seasons, and now they will look to rebuild. The Falcons moved on from Matt Ryan, the future hall of fame quarterback, in the offseason sending him to the Indianapolis Colts. Marcus Mariota will likely be the starter for the Falcons this season. Atlanta is expected to be one of the worst teams in all of the football coming into the year. These pre-season games are meaningful to them as they have a lot of positions up for debate. The young players playing tonight will be fighting for a job and roster position.
The Jets have handed the keys to second-year gunslinger Zach Wilson. Wilson showed his potential last year but struggled at times. A lot of people are expecting a big year out of Wilson. He had limited weapons around him last year and a subpar offensive line. He suffered an injury in the first game of the pre-season against the Eagles, so we will not see him in action for the rest of the preseason.Â
I am backing the Falcons on the moneyline tonight. I doubt Joe Flacco will play much for the Jets, and that means that they will be playing the majority of this game with their third and fourth-string QBs. Atlanta should have the better players in action tonight, which is a huge reason I like them to pull off this win tonight. Let’s cash in on the Falcons tonight!Â
