Atlanta Falcons are coming off a journey across the pond. They lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London in Week 4 a total of 23-7 score. Their defense is on a slump, having produced only a total of 13 points in the team’s last two outings.
Desmond Ridder passed for just 191 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions on 19/31 completions in the Jaguars game. He also got sacked four times for a loss of 31 yards. On that note, the Falcons attack should still be considered dangerous as it features running back Bijan Robinson who rushed 14 times for 105 yards in London. The Falcons also have a good defense that is 5th in the league with only 4.7 yards allowed per play.

CJ Stroud seems to be getting into a good flow in the pros. He passed for 306 yards and two touchdowns while avoiding throwing a pick and going 16/30 in Houstons’ 30-6 last week over the Pittsburgh Steelers at home. Although Stroud has had many incompletions, he is obviously playing better this season than the quarterback that was drafted before him this year, Bryce Young from the Carolina Panthers.
Houston is on a two-game win streak and hit the road with a 4-1 record against the spread in their last five matches in enemy territory. With a seemingly underrated receiving corps with Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Robert Woods, CJ is ready to deliver another powerful performance this weekend.
MatchPlug Prediction For Atlanta Falcons VS Houston Texans
With the Atlanta Falcons back on their home field, Robinson delivers a better play than the one he did in London. He should lead Atlanta to a win and cover.
Final Prediction: Atlanta Falcons Moneyline.
