The Falcons (6-7) lost to New Orleans 23-26 at home in Week 14 and now sit second in the NFC South. QB Chris Redman made 23 of 34 passes for 303 yards with one TD and an interception. QB Matt Ryan is still listed as RB Jason Snelling had 10 carries for 37 yards with a TD, while WR Michael Jenkins made three catches for 82 yards with a TD. Their defense had no sacks or interceptions. The Falcons won’t be able to pass the ball against the Jets league best pass defense. Their best chance at moving the chains will be their 13th ranked running game against the Jets 12th ranked rush defense. Their top RB Michael Turner has been out since week 10 with an ankle injury and is questionable for Sunday, without him the Falcons are 1-4 SU. RB Jason Snelling hasn’t been able to fill the missing void of Turner and has only one TD in three games, while RB Jerious Norwood has none. Atlanta has never had consecutive winning seasons and they would have to win its last three games in order to accomplish that feat for the first time. The Falcons have averaged 16.7ppg and allowed 25.7ppg in their last three games. They are 1-5 SU on the road where they average 25.5ppg and give up an average28.3ppg.They are 8-5 ATS and 7-6 over/under.
The Jets (7-6) won in Tampa Bay 26-3 in Week 14 and sit third in the AFC East. QB Kellen Clemens made 12 of 23 passes for 111 yards. RB Thomas Jones had 24 carries for 99 yards with two TD’s, while WR Braylon Edwards made three catches for 37 yards. Their defense had three sacks and three interceptions on the day. QB Mark Sanchez returns to action against the Falcons, the rookie quarterback says he is ready to brave what will likely be the coldest conditions he has ever played in. The coldest game Sanchez has played in thus far was the 16-13 overtime loss to the Bills at home on Oct. 18, where he threw five interceptions. CB Darrelle Revis has established himself as one of the best, if not the best, cover corners in the league with six interceptions. He has shut down receivers like Randy Moss and Terrell Owens, and now he gets to try his hand at stopping Falcons Pro Bowl wideout Roddy White. The Jets defense is ranked best in the league at stopping the pass and they allow the least amount of points per-game in the league (16.2ppg). The Jets have been maddeningly inconsistent this season, but RB Thomas Jones remains consistent. Veteran RB Thomas Jones leads the best ground game in the league and he just continues to go about his business and put up big numbers . He is fourth in the NFL with 1,167 rushing yards and tied for third with 11 rushing touchdowns. The Jets have averaged 20.7ppg and allowed 7.3ppg in their last three games. They are 3-3 SU at home where they average 19.5ppg and allow 17ppg. They are 7-6 ATS and 5-7 over/under.
