This interconference matchup is set to get underway at 1:05 PM ET (10:05 AM PT) from Giants Stadium and it will be presented live in HD on FOX. According to NFL Odds makers at SPORTSBETTING.com, the OVER/UNDER for this Atlanta Falcons vs New York Jets Week 15 game has been set at a combined total of 36 points scored.
The Falcons enter this week losers of two in a row and in danger of completely falling out of playoff contention in the National Football Conference. Headed into this game, Atlanta is tied for fourth place with (6-7) San Francisco in the chase for the NFC Wild Card.
With Matt Ryan’s ability to play this week, the Falcons understand the tough position they’ve put themselves in. "We have to win out, and some teams have to lose," Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez said. "At the same time, we still have a chance."
For the Jets, three consecutive wins have moved their rollercoaster season peaking once again, as they’ll get rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez back. "It's going to be a Joe Namath throwback game for Mark," head coach Rex Ryan said. "He slid right in front of me in practice to make sure I knew he was ready to go. He feels confident."
One has to believe that in order to get into the postseason, New York will likely have to win out. This becomes a tough proposition when you have to take on the perfect (14-0) Indianapolis Colts and the AFC North leading (9-4) Cincinnati Bengals to close out the season.
"They know how I feel," Ryan added. "Our official stance is it's improbable right now. That's the way everybody will approach it right now. Our stance is we believe we're going to win every game. That's the way it's been since Day 1."
