Jaguars vs. Falcons prediction, pick, odds for Week 3 NFL preseason game on Friday

Raheem Morris and the Atlanta Falcons’ coaching staff will continue to err on the side of caution for their preseason game with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday night. Neither Kirk Cousins nor Michael Penix is expected to play. As for Jacksonville, Trevor Lawrence is going to get some run to start this game before handing the ball to Mac Jones, which is a strong enough cast of signal callers for the Jaguars to cover the full 7-point spread in my estimation.

Let's preview the game and dive into my Jaguars vs. Falcons predictions and my pick for this Week 3 NFL preseason game on Friday.
