Jacksonville is the co-11th betting choice in the Super Bowl 58 odds at +3000. The Falcons are set with a number of 9.5 in the NFL win totals. Play the over or the under and the betting line of -110.

Jaguars are NFL Kings of England

No NFL team has made the trek across the pond to play in the UK more frequently than the Jaguars. They will be playing in England for the record 10th time. In fact, Jacksonville has played more games in Great Britain (nine) than they have against Atlanta (eight).

While they’re holding the participation record for NFL games in England, the Jaguars aren’t coming out on top when success is a factor. Jacksonville is 4-5 both SU and ATS there. Over the past four visits there, Jacksonville is 1-3 SU and ATS.

As a betting favorite, the Jaguars are 0-2 SU and ATS in England. They’re 4-3 SU and ATS  as the underdog. As far as the total, the Jags are also 4-5. Oddly enough, Jacksonville’s first five games in London all went over. Every one of the past four has hit on the under.

Falcons Need Run Game to Click

In Week 2, rookie RB Bijan Robinson went off for 180 yards in rushing as Atlanta upset Green Bay. However, the following week in Detroit, Robinson was checked for 33 yards on 10 carries, just a 3.3 yards-per-carry average.

That was forcing second-year QB Desmond Ridder to the air. He threw 38 times. That game plan is not a recipe for success in the Falcons playbook. And targeting interceptions for Ridder in your Falcons vs Jaguars props may be the right approach.

Jacksonville is the NFL’s #7 run defense, allowing 84 yards per game. If the Jaguars front seven can contain Robinson and force Ridder to have to beat them, it bodes well for Jacksonville.

Atlanta vs Jacksonville Prediction

Jacksonville will be missing WR Zay Jones (knee) for the second successive game. He went for a career-high 823 yards in receptions last season.

Atlanta owns a four-game win streak over Jacksonville dating back to 2007. But the Falcons have lost the last six games they’ve played away from Atlanta.

The last nine games are showing the Falcons scoring more than 25 points just once. In NFL scoring offense, Jacksonville is 21st (19.0 PPG) and Atlanta is 23rd (18.3 PPG). Every total trend for this game has under written all over it.

Falcons vs Jaguars Picks: Under 43 points (-110)
