Young Jacksonville is still rebuilding and heads out on the road for a meaningless Week 4 contest. They are 1-2 SU/ATS this preseason, and don't be too impressed by their 26-21 victory Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals trounced the Jaguars' front-line players, taking a 14-3 lead into halftime. The always suspect offensive line got smoked, with Luke Joeckel getting bulldozed at two different positions. Joeckel got put on his backside at left guard by Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins in the first quarter. Later, Bengals defensive end Michael Johnson did the same thing as Joeckel tried to play left tackle. Their last two games were at home -- now they head out on the road where the Jaguars were inept in Week 1, losing 17-13 at the Jets, with no TD passes, one pick while getting shut out in the second half. In their last three preseason road games, Jacksonville has scored 12, 17 and 13 points. Now they head to Atlanta (2-1 SU/ATS), a team coming home after playing the last two on the road. The Falcons have won three straight preseason home games scoring 31, 20 and 23 points. Atlanta has a terrific veteran backup in QB Matt Schaub and holds all the cards. Take Atlanta.
