Falcons and Jaguars Key Matchups

• Trevor Lawrence vs. Falcons’ secondary: Lawrence will need a big game overall if the Jaguars want to win. The Falcons’ secondary has struggled this season. Therefore, Lawrence should also have some opportunities to make big plays.
• Travis Etienne Jr. vs. Falcons’ front seven: Etienne Jr. has been one of the Jaguars’ most productive players this season. He will need to continue to have a strong game if the Jaguars want to move the ball on the ground.
• Drake London vs. Jaguars’ secondary: London is the Falcons’ best offensive weapon. The Jaguars will need to find a way to slow him down if they want to win.
• Grady Jarrett vs. Jaguars’ offensive line: Jarrett is a dominant pass rusher. The Jaguars’ offensive line will need to keep him at bay if they want to give Lawrence time to throw.

Falcons vs. Jaguars London Prediction

Finally, the Jaguars are the better team on paper. Furthermore, they should be able to win this game. However, the Falcons are a dangerous team. In the end, they could pull off the upset if they have a good game.

I predict the Jaguars will win 24-20.
