The Atlanta Falcons leave for London on Thursday for their NFL International Series matchup against the New York Jets. Both teams enter Week 5 with 1-3 records and rookie head coaches. The Falcons, even in their losses, have shown some signs of improvement each week., but will it be enough against a Jets team coming off their first win of the season?
Per the oddsmakers at Tipico Sportsbook, Atlanta is a 3.5-point favorite over New York.

Where to put your money in Week 2
- Falcons win outright: -175
Granted, the Falcons lost against Washington, however, there were times where the defense could have put the game away. The number of dropped interceptions on defense and dropped receptions on offense can’t possibly be as bad as last week. Not to mention, the Jets’ Week 4 win was over a heavily injured Titans team.
- Under points total: 46.5: -112
Neither offense is keen to putting up points. The Jets’ offense has averaged 11.8 points per game while the Falcons offense has only managed 19.5 points per game. New York sacked Titans QB Ryan Tannehill seven times, with 35 total pressures. If the Jets bring this same kind of energy against the Falcons, the offense could sputter again.
