Which Jaguars players should the Falcons look out for?

DL: You probably know about the big names (Bortles, Robinson, Hurns, Julius Thomas) so I’ll throw out a wild card – Denard Robinson. Shoelace got off to a slow start this year but he was outstanding coming in for an injured T.J. Yeldon last week. He showed the burst and vision that made him an effective running back in spurts last year and he’ll see more touches this week with Yeldon likely still limited.

What’s your final prediction and why?

DL: This is the Jaguars’ final home game so it would be nice if they won, but the Jaguars have yet to beat a quality quarterback this year. Matt Ryan has struggled but he is still a good QB and I expect him to have a solid game. The Jacksonville offense has been hot and I wouldn’t be surprised if this ended up as a shootout. I still don’t trust the defense, so I’ll say the Falcons sneak this one out.

Jaguars 28, Falcons 31
