We've outlined this matchup all week, and it boils down to this: Can Atlanta return to the ground game and turnover-happy defense that won them so many games early in the year? If not, explosive, rapidly maturing Jacksonville is probably going to win this one handily.
We'll hope Atlanta's decision to get their young players more involved, and the lack of urgent pressure to win thanks to their extremely remote playoff chances, will give the Falcons the boost they need. If it doesn't, I'm at least hoping for a watchable game.
Atlanta's going to win.
