Result: Loss
Point Spread: 0.00 | -107.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: Both teams are 0-3 as we head into the final week of the preseason. Does either even care what happens in Week 4? Probably not. So where's the advantage? For this meaningless contest, I don't think that the home field advantage can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor. Miami lost 27-10 to Baltimore last week, while Atlanta fell 17-6 to the Jags.
The teams: Miami QB Ryan Tannehill looked decent last week, going 11 of 16 for 115 yards and a touchdown. Backup Brock Osweiler though struggled, going for 23 yards and one interception. With Tannehill shelved in Week 4, the battle between Osweiler and David Fales continues (Fales has been horrible as well with a 0:2 TD/INT through three games.)
Atlanta struggled against the Jags' aggressive defensive attack last week. Matt Ryan was just 5 of 12 for 57 yards. Ryan won't be suiting up today, meaning Matt Schaub will see the majority of time under center. So far Schaub is 20 of 26 for 194 yards and a TD in the preseason.
The pick: Note that this is a revenge game of sorts after the Fish bested the Falcons 20-17 last October. I think Schaub continues his decent preseason and I look for Atlanta to find a way to get the job done for the home town crowd at the end of the night. Lay the points.
