Jacksonville fired its general manager Tom Coughlin this week and head coach Doug Marrone could be on thin ice but he's expected to be retained for the final two games. The Jaguars do come off a 20-16 win at Oakland as Gardner Minshew threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Chris Conley with 31 seconds remaining. Jacksonville overcame a 10-point deficit over the game's final six minutes and Minshew finished 17-of-29 for 201 yards. Atlanta came through with some last-minute heroics to beat the 49ers as Matt Ryan passed five yards to Julio Jones for a TD with two seconds left and then the Falcons put the game OVER the total with a fumble recovery in the end zone. The Falcons are only 1-4 ATS over their last five games versus teams with losing records and 5-11 ATS their last 16 when following a win. Also, Atlanta has covered just once its last five games as a favorite. Jacksonville players and coaches are playing to keep their jobs, so take the points with the Jaguars.
