6. What’s your prediction for the game?

"I don’t expect a whole lot of defense to be played in this game. The Falcons have a chance to bounce back on offense, and I expect them to have a little more success than in recent weeks. But Atlanta is drained of confidence and this game doesn’t have much meaning to them. The Jaguars, on the other hand, are right in the mix in the AFC South. I’m picking Jacksonville to win, 30-27."

My take:

That’s a score that invokes nice memories, and it implies a shootout type of game. I don’t disagree with the number of points being scored, but I still don’t trust this Jacksonville defense. This will be a close games since both teams really aren’t very good on defense.
