Week 12 of the NFL will season will feature a handful of games between basement dwellers. One of those is the interconference showdown between the Atlanta Falcons and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Falcons looked like playoff dark horses just a couple of weeks ago when they entered Week 10 with a 4-4 record. Since then, they've lost two games to the Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots by a combined score of 68-3. They're now back to looking like one of the worst teams in the league.

The Jaguars haven't been much better. They're 2-8 on the year, and have lost two straight games to the Indianapolis Colts and San Francisco 49ers.

Falcons vs. Jaguars Prediction and Pick

The Falcons and Jaguars are statistically a very similar team, as they are 23rd and 26th in yards per play and 20th and 22nd in opponent yards per play. With both teams being so similar, the move to make is to take the home underdog.

The Falcons were proved to be a bit of a fraudulent team by getting crushed by the Cowboys and Patriots after having a relatively easy schedule to start their season. Their top receiver, Calvin Ridley has stepped away from the game, and Kyle Pitts, while talented, is still raw. Meanwhile their defense has holes throughout it. AJ Terrell is establishing himself as one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, but unfortunately there are 10 other defenders on the field that opposing offenses can attack.

Jacksonville's numbers aren't promising either, but considering they're an underdog at home in a game between two garbage football teams, they're the bet to make on Sunday.

Pick: Jaguars +100
