Given the Falcons' tendency this season to start slowly, run the ball often, and experience issues with their offensive line and play-calling, Zinno suggests that a first-half bet on the Jaguars might be a more reasonable choice if one is considering wagering on this game.
However, recent history favors the Falcons, as they have won the last four consecutive head-to-head matchups against the Jaguars. He mentions the Jaguars' familiarity with the London trip as a potential advantage but notes that they have lost their last three games at Wembley Stadium.
Overall, Zinno seems cautious about this matchup, indicating that the teams are in similar positions and the spread reflects that. He advises considering the under in the first half, as the Falcons' defense has been effective at limiting opposing teams' offensive effectiveness.
