New York Jets @ Atlanta
The Falcons are 1-3 which sounds like they stink but there is much more to see here. Those three loses were to two undefeated teams and a team with a 3-1 record. The Jets are 2-2 and there is also more to these numbers. The Jets’ two wins come against the 0-4 Buccaneers and the 2-3 Bills. This season, the banged up Falcons offense has scored 23.5 points per game and the Jets have managed just 17 points per game. Atlanta will win this home game.
