Falcons at Jaguars NFL Week 4 Betting Lines

Atlanta Falcons NFL Week 4 Betting Lines

The Atlanta Falcons no longer rank out amongst the leagues undefeated at the online sportsbook after dropping an ugly 20-6 decision to the Detroit Lions in the first trek away from their home digs. Arthur Smith’s squad will now be forced to rebound across the pond where they’ll match wits with the Jacksonville Jaguars against the NFL betting lines in front of a likely packed Wembley Stadium crowd. The offense will have no choice but to show up for this one with a determined Jags outfit looking to bounce back from a humiliating home defeat in a game its stop unit was shredded by a rookie quarterback. Can Desmond Ridder and the Falcons anemic aerial attack mimic that feat? If not, it’ll be another tough day at the office for Bijan Robinson and Co. with Jacksonville proving to be more adept at stopping the run through three weeks. Early wagering reports expect another low scorer with the total on the decline.

Atlanta Falcons Week 4 Matchup

On Sunday, October 1, 2023, the Atlanta Falcons will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars from Wembley Stadium in London, UK. Kickoff time is set for 9:30 a.m. ET with television coverage on ESPN+. The betting line for this non-con brawl hit the board with the Falcons catching 3-points and the total lined 45.5. With the Falcons and Jaguars each looking horrific in a pair of Week 3 defeats, the NFL betting market is yet to show its hand as to which of these squads it prefers backing on the pointspread with the number to beat yet to deviate from the opener. Including the loss in Detroit, Atlanta has managed a lone win it its last nine road games while amassing a 4-5 record against the closing NFL odds. The under cashed in six of those matchups with an average of 39.8 points scored. As such, it hardly comes as a surprise to see total bettors enamored with the under for this clash with Jacksonville evidenced by the O/U dropping a full two points to 43.5. Atlanta has failed to reach the 20-point plateau in each of its last seven road treks! The unit will be tasked with getting that job done against a Jaguars defense that was just embarrassed by the Texans who dropped 37 points on their heads. Trevor Lawrence and Co. have struggled mightily since the season opener, so it’s possible the defense is able to keep this one of the lower scoring variety to keep Atlanta in a position to win it.

Atlanta Falcons Week 3 Recap

After kicking off the 2023-24 NFL betting season by holding serve at home games against the Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers, the Falcons laid a huge egg in their first road trip to Motown where they dropped an uncompetitive 20-6 decision to the Detroit Lions. Though Desmond Ridder stepped back to pass a season-high 38 times, the output only resulted in 201 passing yards and 5.3 yards per attempt. On top of that, he was thrown to the turf a whopping seven times by Aidan Hutchinson and Co.! Not good for a Falcons O-Line widely considered to be one of the league’s best by PFF entering the regular season. The showing brings the output up to 12 sacks allowed through three games which ranks only ahead of the Chicago Bears, Tennessee Titans, and Washington Commanders for the most allowed through three weeks. Trailing by double-digits a majority of the game and simply being unable to get anything done on the ground against what’s turned into a pretty solid Detroit run D, Atlanta showed absolutely zero ability to come back a second straight week after pulling off an exhilarating comeback against Green Bay. Bijan had a day to forget combining for just 60 scrimmage yards while Kyle Pitts led all pass catchers with 41 receiving yards. While the defense held up its end of the bargain holding the Lions to a 29 percent success rate on third down and 25 percent showing in the red zone with Jessie Bates hauling in a league-high third interception, the effort still wasn’t enough. The showing proved to be a loser for the online sportsbook with 67 percent of bets and 52 percent of the handle riding Detroit. The under also proved costly with 52 percent of the coin banking on a low scorer.

Atlanta Falcons Schedule & Results

The Falcons were founded as an NFL expansion team in 1966 and didn't make the playoffs until 1978. They have two NFC championships in 1998 and 2016. Their infamous Super Bowl collapse to the Patriots is one of the biggest NFL debacles ever.

The Falcons were born during the peak of the AFL vs. NFL league war. The AFL was interested in placing a franchise in Atlanta. Thus, the NFL moved to cut them off at the pass. Also, there was a sunbelt strategy involved with the NFL. The New Orleans Saints were born the following year, creating an instant rivalry between the Southern cousins.

The Falcons have had their share of great players during their history. Deion Sanders, Claude Humphrey, Steve Borkowski, Jeff Van Note, Tommy Nobis, and Roddy White lit up the Atlanta marquee. Sanders and Humphrey are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Van Note had a remarkable career from 1969 through 1986.
