NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Falcons vs. Jets
Falcons vs. Jets
What's the bigger trap? Backing Desmond Ridder as a road favorite against a strong defense, or taking the points with Tim Boyle? The spot here screams take the home underdog with the best unit on the field. And the Jets are probably being disrespected with this number. But Tim Boyle... If the Jets had pretty much anyone else (sans Zach Wilson) under center, this would be a no-brainer type of bet. So while I'll lean the Jets, I feel somewhat more confident in the under. Both of these defenses rank within the top-11 in defensive EPA. And Atlanta's defense matches up well with the pitiful Jets offense. The Falcons rank second in run defense EPA, which should make matters even harder for Boyle and a Jets offense that will be leaning on Breece Hall to set up shorter passing downs. Atlanta's 18th-ranked pass defense doesn't matter against Boyle, who could get pulled for Trevor Siemian if things go awry. On the flip side, I'd expect the Jets to load up the box and trust their cornerbacks in single coverage against Ridder and a mediocre Falcons passing game.
Pick: Under 33.5 / Lean Jets +2

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
