  • The Atlanta Falcons will be aiming to end their longest losing streak in two years when they hit the road to face the New York Jets in an NFL Week 8 matchup at MetLife Stadium. The Falcons are coming off a 23-7 loss at New England as 2.5-point underdogs while the Jets dropped to 3-4 SU with a 31-28 loss at Miami as 3-point underdogs.

    Shark Bites
    • The total has gone UNDER in five of the Falcons’ last seven games against the Jets.
    • The Jets are 1-6 SU in their last seven games in Week 8.
    • The Falcons are 5-0 SU and ATS in their last five games on the road against teams with losing records.

    The Falcons owned the NFL’s top offense last season, averaging 33.8 points per game, but have struggled during their three-game SU and ATS slide, scoring a meager 13.6 ppg. However, Atlanta has performed well as a road favorite, going 8-2 SU in its past 10, and covering in four of its past five.

    The Jets are coming off consecutive losses to AFC East divisional rivals that put the brakes on a three-game SU win streak. But New York has emerged as a reliable bet at the sportsbooks, going 4-0-1 ATS in its past five overall, and is unbeaten ATS in its past four home dates, all as a betting underdog.

    New York stunned the Falcons with a 30-28 win as a 10-point road underdog in their last matchup four years ago to improve to 2-2 SU in their past four against Atlanta. However, clashes between these teams have otherwise been low-scoring affairs, with the total finishing at 37 or under in five of their previous six meetings.

    Sportsbook Odds & Computer Pick

    Oddsmakers at Sportsbook had the New York Jets as 7-point underdogs in the game, while the betting total was sitting at 47.

    OddsShark computer NFL score prediction models picked a possible 24-21 win for the Falcons on Sunday.
