The New York Jets lost QB Zach Wilson to a knee injury in Week 1 of the preseason, and they find themselves as home underdogs in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. We make our top picks for Jets-Falcons below.
Both teams enter Week 2 of the preseason at 1-0. The Falcons won a thriller over the Detroit Lions, while the Jets defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21. However, no one is talking much about either result, as all the conversation heading into this matchup has been about the health of Jets' starting QB Zach Wilson and Falc ons rookie wide receiver Drake London.
Even if he was healthy, it's unlikely Wilson would have been on the field in Week 2, yet without him, most of our top-rated sportsbooks actually have the Falcons pinned as the favorites for Monday night. Mike White and Joe Flacco should split time at quarterback for the Jets, and both pivots are more experienced than Falcons QB Desmond Ridder, even if Ridder led an impressive game-winning drive last week.
Here are our Falcons vs. Jets NFL picks for preseason Week 2 (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook).
