The Jaguars are unbeaten in the preseason, topping the Kansas City Chiefs 26-13 on Aug. 10 as a 2.5-point favorite, while pounding the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-7 on Aug. 17 as a 3.5-point favorite. The Under has cashed in both outings.
The Falcons have dropped both outings, falling 20-13 on the road against the Miami Dolphins on Aug. 9, while getting edged by the Baltimore Ravens 13-12 on Aug. 17, although they covered as a 2-point underdog. The Under has hit in each preseason game, too.
For Atlanta, rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. will not play in the preseason finale, as coach Raheem Morris has seen enough. In addition, QB Kirk Cousins is also sidelined, as he continues to make his way back from an Achilles injury. That means QBs Taylor Heinicke and John Paddock will again hold down the fort.
