Thursday Night Football
Jaguars vs. Falcons

This game was never close.  The Falcons completely controlled this game, scoring 41 points before Jacksonville could score any.  For the Jags, Jones-Drew managed another 100+ yard rushing game, but that was their only bright spot.  The Falcons pulled Ryan after three quarters, the then pulled White and Jones midway through the fourth.  Ryan finished 19 for 26 for 224 yards and 3 TDs.  White finished with 10 catches for 135 yards and 2 TDs.  Jones caught 5 for 85 yards and a TD.  Turner was also taken out in the fourth, and he finished with 61 yards and a TD.  This was a dominate performance and the Falcons can now look ahead to next week, when they get another shot at the Saints.  If things play out right, they still have a chance at the division.  Atlanta started the season 2-3, but since then are 7-2.  They are proving to be major players in the NFC.
Falcons (-11.5) Win

Preview


The Atlanta Falcons currently sit in 5th place in the NFC playoff picture.  With the Bears and Cowboys fighting for a playoff spot, it is imperative to the Falcons for them to continue to win.  They are playing at home against a bad Jaguars team.  They need to contain MJD and if they do, will win easily.  Matt Ryan is continuing to utilize Julio Jones and Roddy White, while handing the ball off to Turner to keep defenses off balance.  The Jags have been playing better as of late, but they aren't on the same level as the Falcons.  This should be an easy win for Atlanta.  If they win, they will look like a pretty safe bet to make it to the playoffs.
Falcons (-11.5)
